The Nomiki Glynatsis installation show at QT Gold Coast was a story of romance with a spanish feel. As the lights dimmed and a spanish trio played, guests were treated to glamorous models on lightboxes draped in exquisite couture jewellery and evening gowns allowing people to get up close and personal.
