Oracle Fashion Week and Awards Gold Coast 20-25 February 2013 After an incredibly successful week of fashion earlier this year, the Gold Coast is again proud to announce The Oracle Fashion Week and Awards 2013 (OFW) scheduled for 20-25 February 2013. With more designers, more events, more style and more glamour, the GC chic will be in for a fashionable feast. Held at The Oracle, the Gold Coast’s epicentre for the latest fashion from emerging designers as well as established international designers, the week will consist of runway shows, cocktail parties, VIP events, lunches plus much more. Designer applications open from Monday 25 June and if last year’s heavy weight list is anything to go by, event organiser Michaela Fitzgerald from La Rouge, has assured us to expect big things with Nicola Finetti and Carla Zampetti set to return. Categories include: Established Designer, Up & Coming Designer and Up & Coming Swimwear Designer with prizes up to $2,000 up...

As the rain lightly drizzled down, Gold Coast fashionistas headed to the top of The Oracle Broadbeach to celebrate the end of what was a magical week of fashion, fun and frivolity. For me, it was an incredibly exhausting and frustrating week of hobbling around on one foot nursing a broken big toe, long nights of going through photos, blogging and providing highlights to other media outlets... and I wouldn't have it any other way <3 However, I couldn't have done it without my amazingly supportive and talented team Amelia Jane (Amelia Jane Photography) and Akahsha Edwards (my PR Assistant). A big thank you to the two of you for your commitment and dedication, your talents and for putting up with me and and being considerate to my immobility - LOVE YOU BOTH XX GCFW Official Blogger team in the lift heading up to the Penthouse Amelia Jane Photography  Danielle Daquino & Regina Brown With Paul from 28 Black - Thank you for the endless supply of deliciousness all...

Having scored a great viewing position front and centre directly across from seats reserved from Nicola, I couldn't wait to see what was in store for the final fashion of The Oracle Gold Coast Fashion Week 2012. Having met and spent a little bit of time with this fashion icon the day prior I felt honored to be able to see this creative genius showcase his work at Gold Coast Fashion Week. The lights dimmed and DJ Bure put the crowd in the mood to the beats of David Guetta... so let me put you there - press play and scroll down.  Below is nearly all of the collection but these pieces will take you from corporate to club. I fell in love with this collection, all so wearable and still carrying Finetti's signature style. Nicola it was an honor xx  Leather detailing... divine Adore <3 City meets Cowgirl - LOVE Photos : Amelia Jane Photography

Sunday was the final (boo) day of Gold Coast Fashion Week and the vibe was electric as preparation began for Fashion icon Nicola Finetti's show. Having previously had a sneak peek at the collection I knew we were in for a treat. Runway Express Experience did an incredible job on the make up and the hair was sleek with Toni & Guy leaving not a flyaway in sight....
