In a night to celebrate Australian beauty and fashion, the 2013 Prix de Marie Claire awards naturally drew an a-list crowd of celebrities and designers. The elegant and sophisticated attendees brought both international and Aussie style power to the black carpet showcasing fabulous frocks in the unspoken colours of the night, black and white. One of the few Australian magazine award nights out there, this star-studded gala affair is looked foward to by the best in the industry. Editor Jackie Frank always has something spectacular up her sleeve and last night was no exception, a suspended runway show held high above the seated attendees. Who could ask for anything more?
