750 guests will come together in the Crown Perth Grand Ballroom to regale with Champagne Canard Duchene, a specially designed three course dinner from the chefs from NOBU, Bistro Guillaume andModo Mio that will include Swings & Roundabouts wines, Ketel One vodka, Peroni Beer, live entertainment, the memorable STYLEAID gift bag and the evening will commence with the STYLEAID fashion parade featuring the first group show of the upcoming Spring/Summer 2013/14 collections of some of the top designers.
This year there will be special performances by the West Australian Ballet and the West Australian Opera to lift CONNECT STYLEAID 2013 to new heights.
In the fifteen years since Perth first celebrated STYLEAID, much needed funds have been raised to help the vital support programs dedicated to people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS through the work of the WA AIDS Council.

In his employment of light, shape and texture, Kolbusz breathes vitality and fullness into each colorful creation, its thread of coherency evolving from viewer to viewer.
