Australian fashion designer Alex Perry is passionate about a lot of things but when it comes to kids and charities he continues to put his money where he’s mouth is, supporting the AEIOU Foundation for children with autism.
The sixth annual Alex Perry Gala event in aid of AEIOU will be held on the Gold Coast on Friday evening, June 17. About 500 people are expected to attend the event at Sanctuary Cove and Perry will unveil his Cuban Princess Spring/Summer 2011 collection for the first time in Queensland. This collection was shown earlier this month at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week and features welcome hits of bold colours and stunning fabrics.

Fine food, wine and music will set the tone for the evening which will transform the Rotunda Lawn on the Sanctuary Cove Marina into the simmering melting pot that is Havana, Cuba. Tight Dresses, cutaway necklines, cheeky hems and a refreshing colour palette will make a sensational splash on the evening, with the runway show set to be the highlight. This exquisite event is not to be missed.
