KIMMI Varcoe is set to steal the spotlight when she represents South Australia at the prestigious Myer Fashions on the Field national competition.
The 25-year-old Millicent resident was named the overall winner of the state final after competing at the Murray Bridge Gold Cup event and hopes to impress judges at Kennedy’s Oak Day on November 8.
She found inspiration for her Murray Bridge outfit on Vogue and was inspired by the pleated styles.
“It is all about frills and flowers,” she said.
“Mum (Helen Varcoe) handmade the flowers on my hat and we enjoyed working with the pleats to create the dress by Di McLaughlin.”
As overall winner of the state final, Ms Varcoe received a Myer gift card to the value of $1000, Antler luggage to the value of $500 and a ’10-day trip of a lifetime’ to the 2018 Melbourne Cup Carnival to compete on stage in the Myer Fashions on the Field national final on Kennedy Oaks Day, valued at $10,000.
She will battle it out with other hopefuls for the national title and over $118,000 worth of prizes in a bumper year for the competition.
First place will take home the all-new Lexus UX valued at $53,000, a Girard Perregaux Cat’s Eye Watch valued at $49,500 from Kennedy, a $6000 Myer Voucher, a TCL TV package valued at $3105 and $2000 in Antler luggage.
Meanwhile, the second placegetter will receive a $2000 Myer voucher and $1000 in Antler luggage and the third placegetter will walk away with a $1000 Myer voucher and $500 in Antler luggage.
