Alexandra Park announces top judges for Best Dressed
Alexandra Park has announced four of New Zealand’s most respected sartorial minds in fashion to judge its Best Dressed At The Races competition on Derby Night, Friday 10 March.
The country’s most famous fashionable man, Colin Mathura-Jeffree, will be bringing his flair trackside. He will be flanked by racing darlings, Best Dressed Lady from the country’s racing tracks, Carena West and in-demand milliner and stylish woman, Claire Hahn. The group will be finished off nicely with the Herald on Sunday Fashion Editor, Michiko Hylands.
“We’re incredibly excited to have secured these judges. All four come with a vast amount of experience in fashion and in judging some of New Zealand’s best dressed competitions,” says Joel Reichardt, Alexandra Park Sales & Marketing Manager.
He says the judges are looking look forward to seeing what the trotting set is wearing in 2017, spotting emerging trends as well as classic race wear. Tips for those 18 years or over who may like to enter include: putting flair into what you wear; making sure your outfit is well thought out head to toe; and making your fashion mark for the twilight hours.
There are three categories - Best Dressed Lady, Best Dressed Man and Best Headwear - with some amazing prizes on offer and one grand prize for the best dressed overall. The 10 March competition promises plenty of catwalk action in the Tasman Room, with further information on Alexandra Park’s Facebook page and website.
