The weather is sunny and flowers are in bloom, so it’s a perfect time give yourself a bright wardrobe refresh! Check out the SS17 Runway Reveal at Chatswood Chase that takes its inspiration from the rich floral hues of spring. Personal Stylist Shannon Johnson from Living for Style went along to check out what’s in (and what’s out!) for the new season of style.
In true stylish form, Chatswood Chase exceeded all expectations for their SS17 Runway Reveal at Chatswood Chase with a decadent pre-show cocktail party on Level One outside Sass & Bide, which featured delicious canapés and tequila for all the VIP guests! Not only did the celebration get the event off to an elegant start, but the scene was set with an incredible centrepiece- a stunning, 2-metre tall high heel shoes draped with yellow roses. A fabulous representation on what was to come on the catwalk!
