From Runway To Red Carpet…
Last Thursday night saw the stars sparkle on the red carpet at the 10th Annual ASTRA Awards… And one BOWIE-dressed celeb showed that she can eloquently make a mark on both the catwalk as well as the red carpet.
Last year, Kate Peck glided down the runway at the BOWIE show at Australian Fashion Week…

And at the ASTRAs, Peck appeared endearingly mischievous in her BOWIE kimono gown with silver-bell shoulders. Proving she has what it takes to be the new face of MTV… Style, smarts and sexiness.

Couturing.com Interviews Bowie Wong…
The lovely Lisa Teh from Couturing.com recently chatted to designer Bowie Wong about his latest collection, his past inspirations, his design philosophy and what’s in store for the future.
For the full interview and some stunning runway photos, head over to: http://www.couturing.com/blog/read-entry?blog_entries_id=242
To whet your appetite, here’s a sample of what was up for discussion…
“LISA: You collaborated with industry heavyweights Kevin Murphy, Napoleon Perdis and stylist Sophia Banks-Coloma for your recent runway show to ensure every element was perfect. How important are runway shows to showing the industry and the public your stunning designs?
BOWIE: On the whole, when people see my designs, they ask me “It’s lovely, but who is going to wear it?” But for me, a runway show is a collaborative event with other artists and it gives us a chance to express ourselves… In this way, we hope that the public can come to understand what it is we do and also learn to respect out titles as designers and artists. It is not meant as straightforward a commercial activity and I hope people can look deeper than that to see the story and the effort that goes into a show.“

Bowie’s Fashion Patriot…
Samira of The Fashion Patriot fame was present at the BOWIE show on Tuesday night, making this comment…
“Bowie’s collection ‘Aura’ was positively sublime. It isn’t very often when people are moved by fashion, but last night at Bowie’s show was a totally different story. As soon as the thunder struck and the strapless marble-died gown appeared in the middle of the catwalk, I literally got goosebumps… And that feeling didn’t disappear for the entire show.”

BOWIE Served Up To The BIG APPLE On A Fashion Palette!
Bowie Wong, alongside nine other top Australian designers showcased their latest collections on the runway for Fashion Palette NY – a week ahead of New York Fashion Week.
The Fashion Palette projects aims to bring attention to Australian designers, offering them a launch pad into one of the fashion capitals of the world, New York.
Interviewed by Renata Gorton, Bowie made the comment that it was the opportunity of a dream come true saying “I don’t think I would have been able to stage a solo show in New York, because there are so many things that need to be organised.”
And what about spending time with fellow designers in the cut-throat world of fashion? “We all became really good friends. Normally I would say fashion is cold and designers don’t talk to each other but after this group show I think I’ve changed my opinion,” Bowie said.
Bowie’s comments supporting Fashion Palette NY have since featured in The Daily Telegraph, The Courier Mail, The Australian, The Herald Sun, Perth Now, Adelaide Now and news.com.au.
