Myer Fashions on the Field goes west
13 October 2011
The quest to find Australia’s most fashionable racegoer will head to Ascot Racecourse in Perth this Saturday 15 October for the fifth and final interstate leg of Myer Fashions on the Field.
Australia’s largest and most prestigious outdoor fashion event, Myer Fashions on the Field is an institution of the Melbourne Cup Carnival, now in its eighth year as a National Competition.
Hosted by highly respected Myer designer Jayson Brunsdon, fashion hopefuls at Ascot will compete before a panel of judges including Myer Ambassador Laura Dundovic, Perth-based Myer designer Aurelio Costarella, Fashion Editor Pip Christmass from The West Australian, Nancy McDonald from the Sunday Times, and last year’s WA winner Brooke Smith.
The WA winner will be flown with a friend to Melbourne for a 9-day trip of a lifetime to attend the 2011 Melbourne Cup Carnival and compete in the National Final of Myer Fashions.
While in Melbourne the full VIP experience will include luxury accommodation at the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, transfers, VIP hospitality in the Myer Fashions on the Field enclosure, and invitations to exclusive VRC events. They will also receive a $1000 Myer Shopping Spree, with a $500 Shopping Spree for the first runner up, and a $300 Shopping Spree for the second runner up.
A racewear event which encourages Australian women to indulge their passion for fashion, the Myer Fashions on the Field National Competition culminates with the five interstate winners meeting the Victorian winner – determined over the first three days of the Melbourne Cup Carnival – in the National Final on the famous lawns of Flemington on Crown Oaks Day on Thursday 3 November.
This year’s Myer Fashions on the Field competition again boasts a phenomenal prize pool valued at more than $400,000, with the Women’s Racewear winner set to receive a brand new Lexus IS 250C, a $5000 Myer Shopping Spree, a Master Collection Longines watch, TCL Entertainment Pack, Antler luggage and more.
To express your own sense of racing style, head to Perth’s Ascot Racecourse on Saturday 15 October and register from 12 noon.
