The final day of Perth Fashion Festival (PFF) 2011 has arrived and will celebrate its closing with one of its biggest shows, the 25th anniversary of Western Australian fashion powerhouse Wheels & Dollbaby.

It was a night of ‘firsts’ for Perth Fashion Festival with local designers, Zhivago and Zsadar, making their catwalk debut at Fashion Paramount and PFF 2011 International Model Search winner Shanae Millar walking for Ange Lang in Designer Capsule #3.

S2 wowed crowds with its strong aesthetic and theatrics.

Spotted front row was PFF 2011 Face and supermodel Nicole Trunfio, cricketer Mitchell Johnson and wife Jessica Johnson, fashion illustrator Pip McManus, designer Alvin Fernandez, radio presenter Em Rusciano, Troy and Sophia Barbagallo and footballer Ryan Crowley.

Festival highlights include:
- Wheels & Dollbaby, 7.00pm, His Majesty’s Theatre
Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the rock’n’roll glamour label Wheels & Dollbaby is certain to up PFF’s ‘cool factor’ as designer Melanie Greensmith launches her Spring Summer 2011/12 collection.

With special guest Katy Steele performing with Melanie’s husband Divinyls guitarist Mark McEntee this show is sure to leave audiences wanting more of the iconic WA designer and PFF.

PFF is supported by the State Government through Eventscorp, the Department of Culture and the Arts and the City of Perth.
