GEELONG’S fashionistas and those in need of wardrobe inspiration congregated at Westfield Geelong to get a glimpse of British fashion icons Trinny and Susannah last week.
A mass of excited fans clutched favourite garments they wanted the duo to match an outfit with.
A roar erupted from the huge crowd as Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine graced the stage, donned in killer stillettos and dazzling dresses, which they agreed were their wardrobe staples.
“Times are tough for us all at the moment but all you need to remember is how to have fun with clothes,” Trinny said.
“You have to treat your wardrobe as a dress-up box and I bet everyone has a little orphan piece they can pull out and reinvent.
“Everyone can be transformed with clothes, you don’t need liposuction.
“When you shop, forget about the name on top of the store, you need to shop for what suits you. This might be a shop that your daughter or mother shops in.”
The fashion gurus were in town to restyle tired and drab wardrobes and were impressed with the crowd.
“I think we have a real mixture in the crowd today and there’s some juicy potential for makeovers,” Susannah said.
“The front few rows look good, but it goes a bit downhill as you look back and even further back people are wondering ‘who are those girls on stage’, well come forward darling and we can show you.”
Trinny and Susannah styled several lucky audience members, in all shapes and sizes, from new mums to mature women. The pair poked, prodded and groped the chosen make-over women.
The focus was on “hoicking the tits up” and transforming women to “sex-bombs”.
Nineteen-year-olds Christine Murphy and Maeve Kennedy trekked all the way from Ascot Vale and even “wagged” university classes to see the style queens in action.
“We’re huge fans, they’re awesome. We used to tape all their television shows and have read all the books,” Christine said.
“We even missed a couple of uni classes to come here today.”
There were also a few men scattered through the crowd, including Highton’s Ian Stewart, who joined his wife and daughter for the show.
“I came fairly willingly,” Ian claimed.
“I guess us men are a bit like sponges, who knows, I may even learn something today.”
