The Who, the Watt and the wear to be revealed at Emporium Hotel on March 10
The First Emporium Presents event for 2011 stars the dynamic duo of Australian fashion
How delectable, how fashionable, how exquisite – the art of High Tea and High Fashion is alive and well at the Emporium Hotel and it’s guaranteed to have pinkies wagging at the first Emporium Hotel Presents series.
George Gross and Harry Watt, dynamic design duo whose celebrated brand resides in the stylish Emporium precinct, will personally host Emporium Hotel presents George Gross Harry Who | Autumn/Winter 2011, Volume 1 in the lush Emporium Hotel Cocktail Bar on Thursday March 10 from 10.30am, providing a chance for their devotees to meet the makers over champagne and a tower of tasty sweet and savory treats.
Having started the business 36 years ago in Adelaide, it’s no secret that the designers George Gross and Harry Watt remain one of Australia's leading fashion partnerships with their respective labels, George Gross and Harry Who, having won more than 13 Australian fashion design awards while establishing their brand as a best seller in Australia, the USA, Canada and Europe.
“The George Gross and Harry Who brand is truly at home within the Emporium precinct, a haven for lovers of fine fashion,” said State Manager Di Colls who will assist in putting together the key Autumn/Winter looks for the High Tea next month.
“In a city where fashion parades are the norm, it’s refreshing to see the return of the original Salon Show, an intimate showcase of designer fashion which encourages guest interaction. George and Harry are thrilled to be taking part in an event of this calibre again this year and at a venue they adore, in fact one that they chose to stay in whenever they visit Brisbane.”
The Emporium Hotel Presents series unveils looks from leading Emporium precinct retailers every three months, with all the grace and grandeur you would expect from a Parisian Salon Show, against a magnificent stained glass wall backdrop, originally a Parisian shop front crafted more than 100 years ago.
