Alice race season success

What a busy race season it has been for Empire Style!

The Alice Springs race season has come to an end and I was so impressed with the fashions seen at each race event.

The season was kicked off with Girls Day Out at the Alice Springs Turf Club. The day was an opportunity for ladies to plan their outfits for the coming race season, with fashion parades galore.  Empire Style was there, with pieces on show in the parades, and offering expert milliner advice for those planning for the upcoming carinval.

The following weekend was Ladies Day – Ladies Day has to be my favourite day on Alice Springs’ racing calendar. I never fail to have a great day with friends, and this year was especially exciting with all of the Empire Style pieces on ladies heads everywhere! The highlight of the day (did someone say there were horses racing?) was undoubtedly the amazing fashion show coordinated by stylist Peter Tiller of Headlines fame. I like to think that Empire Style’s pieces stole the show – but I may be a little biased! Thank you to Peter and the models for the opportunity to dress the heads…

Saturday 5 May was Young Guns, a race day that has fast become a popular tradition for the 18 to 30-somethings. I enjoyed the day as a guest of Colemans Printing.  There were lots of girls sporting their Empire Style headpieces - Young Guns girls are catered for too at ES!

The May day public holiday was enjoyed at the headline event of the season, Alice Springs Cup. This was a fabulous day in the stunning marquee at the Turf Club.  Empire Style clients were winners both on and off the field with some success in Fashions on the Field:
