The atmosphere was electric as guests arrived, dressed to impress in outfits that highlighted the latest spring/summer collections from Western Australia’s most talented designers. The Crown Ballroom was transformed into a glamorous space, adorned with captivating decorations and lighting that created an ideal backdrop for a night filled with fashion, food, and entertainment!

Making a Difference!


The impact of StyleAid Phoenix reaches beyond glamour! The funds raised during this event directly support vital programs, contributing to a greater understanding of HIV and enhancing LGBTQIA health awareness. In the past year alone, the WAAC has delivered educational resources to more than 3,000 individuals and held numerous workshops aimed at eradicating stigma!
