2010 PFF Front Row Line-Up
Just some of the famous faces you'll be spotting front row at Fashion
Paramount... Rider Strong, Russell James, Jerry Hall, Ashley Roberts, Rosie Tupper, Kym Ellery.
This year, PFF's got more celebrity guests than ever before! So who will be sitting front row at the Fashion Paramount events in 2010, you ask?
PFF's International Ambassador for 2010 and photographer to the stars,
Russell James, will host the invitation-only VIP Festival Launch on Thursday 9 September. The
event coincides with the international release of Russell's photographic book "V2", which features some of the world's most beautiful (and famous) faces. Russell will also be sitting front row at Fashion Paramount on Friday 10 September and Saturday 11 September.
Legendary Texan supermodel turned lady of the stage, Jerry Hall, and her onstage toy-boy, actor Rider Strong, will be popping in to a few PFF events while in town for The Graduate. Jerry and Rider will both be seated front and centre at Fashion Paramount for some of PFF's hottest events, including Student Runway and Wheels & Dollbaby.
We're sure you've heard about this one - but in case you've somehow missed the media frenzy - we'd like to announce a certain Miss Ashley Roberts from The Pussycat Dolls, who will be appearing on the catwalk exclusively for Ruth Tarvydas. Not only will Ashley be opening the Tarvydas show with a bang, but she'll also be DJing at the after party!
PFF will also be graced with the presence of the perennially cool designer Kym Ellery special guest of King Street's Billie & Rose at the 15 Minutes event on Tuesday 14 September, as well as Vivien's model and Vogue cover girl Rosie Tupper, who will sit front row for Times Square and Ruth Tarvydas on Friday 10 September.
Tickets to some of PFF's Fashion Paramount shows are still available, so if
you want to check out some of Perth's hottest models wearing the latest
collections (and have a good hard look at some celebrities in the flesh),
