Last Tuesday, more than 100,000 people flocked to The Melbourne Cup stadium in Australia to watch the annual two-mile horse race - an important social, cultural and sporting event down-under.
Marking the day in Saigon, International Ladies of Vietnam (ILV) had arranged a home-away-from-home party at a bar in Bitexco Tower where guests sipped champagne and cheered for their lucky horse.
ER Couture, the high-end tailoring service in District 2, had dressed some of the ILV members in derby style fashion - long cocktail dresses, statement jewellery and elaborate hats.
Elisabeth, the designer, who has always been a big fan of derbies a la My Fair Lady, said “the real-life models did really well today and they seemed to love the cocktail dresses. One of them has asked me to design her wedding dress!”
ER Couture and ILV will do another fashion show at the ILV Thursday morning in 29th Nov.
