The premium bead boutique, which has recently launched its third bejeweled heaven in shopping Mecca Westfield, fused fashion, beauty and accessories into an evening that dazzled almost as much as the fantastic array of gems and ready-to-wear jewellery that lines its shelves.
The look of each of the models featured at the Shock and Awe themed charity show* was kept simple: Think flawless bases enhanced with a cheekbone-skimming sweep of illuminating cream, subtly defined eyes with lashings of lengthening mascara and nude lips. The fashions, however, presented a bold counterpoint.
Graduate Fashion Week one-to-watch Naomi New showcased her incredible collection, which took inspiration from 15th century armour, horses and apocalyptic flick Mad Max. Her show-stopping designs utilise leather, suede, horse hair and bone, creating one-off pieces with the theatricality to make even a seasoned costume queen like Lady GaGa giddy.
Other top picks of the evening included ex Philip Treacy milliner Olivia Roat's bespoke headpieces and the presentation of Beulah London's Spring/Summer 2011 collection - a vibrant rainbow of sweeping, premium silk gowns.
Artemis Boots and Yull's unique footwear and designer Flora McKillop's quirky hand candy gave further dimensions to the show.
And peppered amidst the designer showcase, were LeBeado's own designs worn by self-assured, not to mention strapping, male models who donned them in style.
The goodie bags nestled beneath the chairs of all who attended, offered a charming reminder that making your own masterpiece is only ever a craft afternoon away.
