Our next world famous Spring Racing Carnival is off in the distance. Yet that doesn’t mean that there is a lack of fashions on the field. Yesterday at Caulfield racecourse during the Arrowfield Stud Blue Diamond Day, ladies and a few gents hit the stage to compete in a summer round of Fashion Stakes. After four heats [...]
Portsea Polo 2010
Another year of polo at Portsea again saw a sell out event. The Point Nepean Quarantine Station sees a flood of stylish types at this time of year as they enjoy one of the – in my opinion – best events during Melbourne’s summer. I think the crowd looked as fabulous as it ever has, [...]
Melbourne Cup Fashions on the Field
The daily final of the Melbourne Cup Day round of Fashions on the Field was won by Sarah Kelly. In a refined, grey Cue number with black feathered hat, Sarah looked as if she could have just stepped out of an illustrated page of a vintage issue of Vogue.
First runner up was Teresa Love in [...]
Derby Day Fashions on the Field
Fashions on the Field at Derby Day this year showed that black and white are never boring. Although the long parade of entrants was punctuated by the occasional splash of coloured ensembles, or highlighting colour accents, the classic black and white dominated the day. The judges shunned colour and chose a top three [...]
Cox Plate Fashions on the Field
Moonee Valley Racing Club certainly turned it on for the 2009 Fashions on the Field. The centre enclosure was awash with colour, bright blooms and lush grass, shady umbrellas and plenty of glamourous racegoers of all ages made for a fantastic day at the races.
The fashion stakes are a little bit different on Cox [...]
High Fashion Stakes at the Caulfield Cup
The Age’s fashion editor Janice Breen Burns noted that trackside there were “as many goosebumps as hats” at this year’s Caulfield Cup Day. Yet Lauren Andrews must have been feeling as warm and fuzzy as the day’s big equine winner, Viewed, as she took out the Chadstone Fashion Stakes for 2009. Dressed in a [...]
Caulfield Guineas Day Fashion Stakes
The sun was shining over Caulfield racecourse on Saturday for the beginning of what is sure to be an amazing Spring Racing Carnival.
I of course did not see a single four legged creature the entire day, as I was glued to the fashion and entertainment precinct eagerly anticipating the winners of the daily fashion [...]
Flemington Fashions on the Field for Couples
Melbourne’s most glamorous and best dressed came out in full force for the Myer Fashion on the Field Couples Competition at Flemington on Saturday. Whilst the punters were watching the Super Saturday horse races, twenty-five couples bravely strutted their stuff on the Myer catwalk displaying a range of well-thought out and stylish outfits.
The hosts for [...]
First Ever Fashions on the Field Comp for Couples
You know that old saying there’s strength in numbers? Well, maybe that also applies to it taking a friend’s presence to get you up on stage to be judged in your racing finest. For the first time ever the Myer Fashions on the Field is open to couples! And it doesn’t have to be a [...]
Melbourne Cup day Fashions on the Field
Whatever Myer is paying Carson Kressley they should raise it – the man is a delight to watch and makes the fashions on the field tent fun. He parades around the stage like a gameshow model showcasing luggage and generally adds a level of joviality to proceedings.
Onto more serious business. The surprise winner for the [...]
