Eyes Wide Open Fashion Show

Judith Penak Couture participated in the Eyes Wide Open Fashion Show at RAH BAR, where some of the most stunning outfits walked the runway. Lynette Pater, one of the most respected Melbourne Master Stylist, coordinated the looks of Judith Penak Couture along with Millinery by Vintage Designs and Jewellery Designer, Stella Nemiro. Bodyography did an amazing job with makeup on the beautiful models.

This charity event was to raise money for BeyondBlue which is an Australian independent non-profitable organisation working to address issues associated with depression. Hope this event contributed towards this good cause.

Australian Glamour in HOLLYWOOD

A few weeks ago, an Australian Production Team went on an exciting trip to Hollywood to photograph the works of 4 selected Australian designers, Lucy Laurita, Vicky E Pellicca-Zamoyzaris Popovski, Maria Mezzatesta and us--Judith Penak Couture! Our best Australian master stylist, Lynette Pater, took charge of styling and coordinating dress and jewellery; supplied by Le Dain Designs. Mishel Vounatsos Bratsos, Schyler Shulkin and Kirsty Barrie did an amazing job on the hair and makeup of the gorgeous model Celeste Billinge. 

Photographer, Maurice Rinaldi and make up artist, Mishel Vounatsos Bratsos, share their thoughts on the shoot.

"It was so exciting to work with an all Australian production team in LA and help support the Australian designers like Lucy Laurita, Judith Penak, Vicky E Pelliccia-Zamoyzaris Popovski and Maria Mezzatesta. Mishel Vounatsos Bratsos, Kirsty Barrie and Schvler Shulkin on make-up and hair who got little sleep and lots of driving and put up with me for 3 weeks THANK YOU for a job well done. I must say, working with Celeste Billinge from The Old School of Modeling with no complaints, no matter what location or temperature, was lovely to work with. Let's do it again soon, you are all welcomed back! "
--Maurice Rinaldi

"I truly loved going to America. It's such a different place to Australia. Still love my hometown but in America it has a different buzz about it. It's very much on the go-go-go! Doing makeup there was fantastic. Using our Australian designer gowns was absolutely phenomenal. Doing the photoshoot out in public was fantastic. Everyone was just looking at us saying, 'what's going on? What are you shooting? Wow look at the model and outfit!'.
It was a great experience doing makeup and hair in America. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and vibes from it. Hopefully we will be doing this again next year. Definitely something to look forward to! Plus the Australian designers can have their gowns shot overseas which is such great exposure for them!" -- Mishel Vounatsos Bratsos

THE LIVE GALLERY @ THE ORCHID ROOM QV ART de JOUR by Leiela

THE LIVE GALLERY @ THE ORCHID ROOM QV

ART de JOUR by Leiela 

On the 18th of March 2014, The Live Gallery presented ART de JOUR by Leiela at the Orchid Room in QV shopping district.


The venue was stunning and we instantly were in awe walking through the striking up arch way and into the beautiful warm lit room. Everyone was dolled up in their evening best. With cocktail in hand, we made the rounds, socialising with all the designers, stylists, milliners, photographers and other specialists in the creative industry. It was a great time to make some new contacts and ultimately; new friends.

                                                     

They started off the night with an amazing ballet performance accompanied by opera singer Valantina Dobric, whose voice carried through the room and really set the mood for the night.

                                     

Following this amazing performance, started the Leiela fashion runway show. There was a mixture of themes, from formal wear to sleep wear. All the designs were beautiful and the models really worked their stuff down the runway! The accessories, hair and makeup were sensational.

                           

Overall, the night was a great time to let out our inner social butterflies and just to have some fun while enjoying what we love—fashion!

A new name, a new era, a new fantasy...

A new era has begun for Black Rose. We have grown and improved into a more extensive and finer brand and are now known as Judith Penak Couture!

Gowns are like a unique, individual one off piece of art or statue. They wake up our fantasies of being surrounded by beauty, happiness and motivate us to open up the depths of our souls and express our inner beauty, allowing our physical beauty to shine. This is the true vision of the Haute Couture of Judith Penak Couture.

Couture—what is couture? If you ask this question, you bet your bottom dollar that someone is bound to say ‘expensive fashion’. Many think this way because the word 'couture' is mostly heard being used in high end fashion runways or on shows such as The Next Top Model. People automatically attach a label of ‘unaffordable’ to the thought of a couture outfit.

But what actually is the definition of couture? It is the design and manufacture of fashionable clothes to a client's specific requirements and measurements. ‘Specific requirements’ can also include your specific budget.

Here at Judith Penak Couture, we can create your dream couture outfit for any type of socioeconomic status. Whatever your budget—we can do it.
