State-Wide Racing Fashion Stakes Heads to the Gascoyne
26 May, 2017
WA Country Cups
Fashionistas will be flocking to the Gascoyne next month, as a state-wide racing fashion competition makes its way to the Carnarvon Race Club’s Ladies Day on Saturday 10th June 2017.
The WA Country Cups Fashions on the Field will be heading back to the region for a second year in a row for the running of the Gascoyne Regional Heat.
Local girl, Ave Paasuke, was last year’s winner and represented the region in the 2016 WA Country Cups Fashions on the Field Final.
This year Ms Paasuke will be on the other side of the table as one of the guest judges for the heat and gave a little tip for those looking to enter this year’s competition.
“Winning the regional heat and representing Gascoyne in WA Country Cups Final was the most amazing experience for me, and I’m very excited for the opportunity to judge this year’s Fashions on the Field at the Carnarvon Race Club’s Ladies Day.
“For me a winning outfit will need to reflect current trends, be raceday appropriate as well as being unique and a crowd stand out. I’m looking forward to see all the wonderful looks displayed on the catwalk.”
In a major coup Digital Influencer, TV Presenter, Blogger and Owners Only Ambassador, Rayne Embley, will be flying to the region especially for the event to join Ms Paasuke on the judging panel.
“This will be my first time in Carnarvon, so I am really looking forward to being able to see what the region and the ladies have to offer!” said Ms Embley.
“Fashion is a major passion of mine and I believe this competition is a fantastic way to shine a light not only on racing fashion, but racing fashion in regional areas, as the effort that a lot of these ladies go to is incredible, and I am honoured to be able to be a part of it.”
Earlier this year Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA), incorporating WA Country Cups and Community TAB, launched the 2017 WA Country Cups Fashions on the Field with even bigger stakes up for grabs for the Final.
The WA Country Cups Fashions on the Field, open to fashionistas from all over WA, consists of nine regional heats held at major country race meetings across the State, culminating to the Final at Perth Racing to be held on Saturday 2nd December 2017.
The winner of the 2017 WA Country Cups Fashions on the Field Final will take home a trip for two to London with Motive Travel, to attend arguably the most famous racing carnival in the world, Royal Ascot.
Attended by Her Majesty, the Queen of England, not only does Royal Ascot attract some of the world’s finest racehorses such as the likes of Black Caviar, but it is also well known for being a spectacle of fashion and style.
To add to the prize pool the winner will also receive $10,000 spending money thanks to TABtouch, as well as a diamond piece from Leon Baker Jewellers, and a voucher for popular Western Australian handbag and accessory label, Jessica Bratich.
