Kristy Hinze dressed to frill

August 24th, 2009

FOR a winter’s day, it was hard to beat for Kristy Hinze. The Queensland supermodel flew in to Brisbane as a guest of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival.
“It’s 32C outside – where else do you get that in winter? It’s genius,” Hinze laughed.
After spending the past few months in Melbourne filming Foxtel’s Project Runway, Hinze revelled in the balmy conditions as Queensland’s best designers showed off their spring/summer collections. Chelsea de Luca, Sacha Drake and Grbac were among the local labels on the catwalk last night, followed by George Wu, Paul Hunt, Toscano and Darb Bridal Couture.”As far as the fashions go, we’ve got some very talented people here which make it a wonderful festival,” Hinze said.
Hinze sat in the front row during the group shows at City Hall last night and plans to take in as many shows as she can before catching up with family tomorrow .
The festival continues today with a forum and breakfast, the launch of the Queen Street Mall’s ‘Fairest of the Mall’ styling competition at 12pm, and more group shows tonight.
