Gold Coast Fashion Week Judges Announced!!

First cab off the rank is Gold Coast local
glamour girl Leah Madden.
Leah is the designer behind swimwear label
White Sands, with her retro-chic bikini’s earning international success.
After making a splash at Miami fashion
week, with celeb royal Kendall Jenner featuring in the White Sands show, Leah
is back to support the Gold Coast Fashion scene on the panel of expert judges.
Next up is Jay Pask, the Coast’s own
Sartorial Sheriff.
Jay juggles writing “The Fashion Police”
files for the Gold Coast Bulletin, along with managing his designer fashion
boutique and his own eponymous fashion label.
“Thank the Lord!” Jay tells MGR “Gold Coast
Fashion Week finally has a team behind it that can allow the week to reach its’
full potential. The focus needs to be on the design element, not the social
element and that is where this year's event is directed. As a judge, I’ll look
for a range that is intriguing yet saleable, creative yet wearable. The
garments need to be finished properly and the range must not have unexplainable
gaps. I can't wait to compare the Up and Coming designers with the Established
designers. Sometimes the most naive of ideas are the most exciting. Hopefully
this event is noticed by interstate and international buyers and we can really
give these designers a start.”
Jay is sure to cause some controversy on
the panel with his clear-cut views on what he adores and what he abhors!
Last but certainly not least is SHOP TIL U
DROP Fashion News Editor, Anna Deutsch.

Deutsch has worked in the fashion industry for over six years, having started
her career in New York City with experience at both W magazine and US InStyle.

years ago. From the moment she arrived, Anna immersed herself in the local
fashion industry, working freelance until getting a regular gig at InStyle.
She has spent the last two years as Fashion News Editor at Shop Til You Drop, where her passion for writing and styling meet her addiction to shopping.

“I’m
really looking forward to being part of Gold Coast Fashion week.” Anna says “It’s
important to highlight what’s going on all across Australia, not just what’s
happening in Sydney where most of the magazines are based. I’m really excited
to spend a few days there getting to know the people, labels and general vibe
of the Gold Coast! I’m hoping for lots of exciting fashion, and also lots of
sunshine.”
Anna,
we’re so grateful to have your expertise on the panel and will do our very best
to keep the sun shining for you!
These fashion heavy weights will be critiquing
the shows to find out which designers rock the runway.
