The cocktail party launch will be held in sectioned area of the hotel’s glamorous lobby and library where a total of 43 images, on loan from the prestigious Polka Galerie in Paris, have been hung.

The iconic fashion photography exhibition - which reveals a rare and intimate sneak peak at the world of haute couture - is free of charge for both guests and the public, testament to Sofitel brand’s increasing alliance with ambassadorship of culture and the arts across its international hotel network. 

Visitors will be surrounded by frames of the famous including Karl Lagerfield, Carla Bruni and Kate Moss in addition to memorable fashions from Dior, Chanel, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Yves St Laurent, Christian Lacroix and Givenchy.

Previously with The Sun-Herald and more recently a contributor with magazines including Grazia and Instyle, Traill-Nash will formally open the exhibition and offer an insight into the fascinating world of fashion, behind the lens, for guests.

Fashion Stills was tailor made for Sofitel by the renowned Polka Galerie to share in the intimacy of the Houses which built France’s luxury tradition. A truly international exhibition, it was first displayed at the Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg in late 2009 later travelling across Europe, the United States and most recently Australia.

Star photographers, Derek Hudson, Francoise Huguier, Jean-Marie Périer and Gérard Uféras, have succeeded in capturing unique moments on the catwalk, via an eccentric pose or by immortalising a dress, a design or a celebrated fashion designer’s work desk. 

Following its four month Sydney residence, the display will move on to the Sofitel Brisbane Central where it will be on show from the 2^nd of September until the 29^th of December.

Guests interested in acquiring any of the photographs on display can contact the Wentworth Galley adjacent to the hotel www.wentworthgalleries.com.au.
