Mollies World of Dreams

I'm finally getting around to posting photos from the exclusive event which took place on the 1st May (I know I'm really slack!) at Auckland’s Relais & Chateaux hotel located in St. Mary's Bay New Zealand. The event was held to raise money for Auckland City Mission and I was given the wonderful opportunity, along with 5 other New Zealand designers, of transforming one of six different suites based on the concept "A World We Dream to Live in". I teamed up with my friend Nicole who is studying interior design, and together we chose the theme "The Boudoir Lounge" for our room. The evening turned out to be a huge success, with a turnout of over 400 guests and a night filled with opera, fashion, drinks, and fun...Here are a few photos from the night.
Some of the beautiful models from Mollies fashion show...

I love this picture, tho a bit out of focus it looks like it's from a dream or something...

At one point during the evening I did some live painting in our lounge... the combination of the 1920's decor, and jazz/french music made for the perfect ambiance! (Yes, I know this photo is very blurry, but I think my girlfriend had had quite a few drinks by then!)

And the finished piece I've titled "Sister Shelter"

Well, those are all the photos I have to share for now... I hope you've enjoyed them! I will plan on posting more when I can. And if you do ever happen to visit Auckland New Zealand, I HIGHLY recommend visiting Mollies Hotel for an unforgettable experience!
