In a stunning celebration of style and elegance, Forever New hosted a magical Mediterranean-inspired luncheon at the enchanting Di Stasio in Carlton, nestled in its beautifully designed Italian courtyard. The event was a vibrant showcase of the brand’s latest Ciao Bella collection, capturing the essence of sun-soaked days and balmy nights along the Mediterranean coast.
Guests were treated to a delightful Spring Summer soirée, with special attendees including notable influencers and fashion icons such as Brooke Warne, Hannah Dal Sasso, Annalise Dalins, Moraya Wilson, and Demi Brereton. Each guest radiated the season’s colours, donning outfits in buttery yellows and white linens, perfectly reflecting the warm, inviting hues of the Mediterranean.
Brooke Warne, the daughter of the legendary Shane Warne, looked absolutely stunning in the Heidi Bubble Hem Mini Dress. She accessorised her look with a chic 23 pendant necklace, a heartfelt tribute to her late father, symbolising the father/daughter bond that continues to inspire her.
Former Miss Universe Australia, Moraya Wilson, was another standout at the event, dazzling in a strapless ruched mini dress. Moraya says, “every collection Forever New comes out with is transferable from year to year. I particularly love the summer linen this year. The Ciao Bella collection would have to be a favourite; I love the white paired with gold accessories, add a great fake tan, you can’t go wrong.”
Moraya is looking forward to the Melbourne Cup Carnival, and says, “keep an eye out I may just be wearing Forever New.”
Newly engaged Annalise Dalins, glowing with joy, embraced the Mediterranean theme in a stunning lemon one-shoulder ruched dress, complete with a charming bow feature. Fresh from her romantic engagement in Greece, Annalise shared her heartfelt story of how her fiancé, Josh Daicos, honoured tradition by asking her father for permission to marry her.
Demi Brereton also joined the conversation, expressing her enthusiasm for the upcoming Spring racing season. Demi spoke about choosing the right outfit for race day, reminding everyone that evening wear and race wear are not interchangeable.
Forever New’s Ciao Bella collection is not just about clothing; it’s an invitation to embrace life’s moments with style and confidence. With this stunning luncheon, Forever New has once again proven that fashion is about bringing people together, celebrating individuality, and revelling in the magic of the season.
