The Katie Rose Spring Fashion Parade + High Tea at Sunshine Beach was an afternoon of style wrapped in purpose. Hosted in the beautiful Sunshine Beach State School grounds, this inaugural event brought together fashion lovers, community supporters, and generous hearts to raise funds for Katie Rose Cottage Hospice. The style was as varied as the cause — from pre-loved finds and vintage gems to elegant evening wear, each piece told its own story.
Fashion segment highlights featured designers and sponsors including Wacker Clothing Company, Ella & Sunday, Maximum Vintage, JoJo Noosa, Matilda Cove, Noosa’s Classy Lady, and pre-loved and boutique fashion curated by “Sketch” for the elegant evening wear segment. Models carried themselves with charm and confidence, walking runway-ready looks that blended thrift, contemporary style, and sustainability. The atmosphere was warm and inviting — bubbles on arrival, grazing boards, sweet and savoury treats, and the thrill of auction and raffle items fueling excitement throughout.
But beyond the fashion, the heart of the event was the community. Thrift boutiques offering pre-loved gems, silent auctions, door prizes, and the chance to mingle in style made it feel more like a high tea among friends than a runway show. Every outfit purchased, every bid made, every smile in the crowd contributed to a meaningful afternoon in support of a vital local cause. With Noosa portrait photographer Tito Media behind the lens, every glittering detail, soft fabric, curated accessory, and joyful expression was captured — preserving not just the visuals, but the spirit of giving and style mingled together.
