Art Gallery of WA celebrates next generation of fashion designers in The West Australian Pulse
The next generation of WA fashion designers were greeted by a sellout crowd as they showed their creations in a high-energy runway show on Saturday night.
The West Australian Pulse, the Art Gallery of WA's annual celebration of talent, passion and creativity, showcased the work of fashion and design students from North Metro TAFE, South Metro TAFE, Curtin and Edith Cowan universities.
This year's catwalk parade was dedicated to the memory of fashion designer and AGWA collaborator Aurelio Costarella, who died in April.
The fashion show, which featured WA's top fashion graduates and emerging names, is part of AGWA's annual celebration of art created by young people.
It coincides with The West Australian Pulse visual arts exhibition, chosen from the best works submitted by Year 12 graduates.
With the demise of Perth Fashion Festival in 2018, Pulse has become an essential annual runway experience for student designers.
Around 115 student volunteers — including designers, dressers, apprentice hairdressers, makeup artists and ushers — rolled up their sleeves and donated their time backstage to help the show run smoothly.

Young talent gives ballet culture a ‘bad wrap'
The intense demands and 'toxic culture' surrounding ballet forced Charley-Marie Travia to quit the sport she loved from age 3 to 17. The Iona Presentation College graduate turned her experience into Stored Away, a series of photorealistic oil paintings of her ballet possessions covered in plastic. One of canvases, a representation of her favourite ballet dress, features as part of this year's The West Australian Pulse exhibition at the Art Gallery of WA. The 18-year-old also created eye-catching images of her trophies and pointe shoes, all wrapped in plastic to be stored away. While she dreamt of joining one of the great European or New York ballet schools, Ms Travia left the demanding sport to focus on her high school studies.

Now studying architecture at Curtin University, Ms Travia said the 'ballet industry is very toxic' with potentially detrimental impacts on the mental and physical health of young dancers. 'Whatever you do, it's never good enough,' she added. 'When you're in a ballet studio, you're surrounded by mirrors, so it's very hard on your body image. 'Mentally, it's a very tough sport, as well as physically.' Charley-Marie Travia and fellow Pulse artist Ben Ioannou at the Pulse exhibition opening night.

Ms Travia said the Pulse artwork closed a chapter in her life. 'I can now move on to bigger and better things,' she said. Can she see herself ever dancing again? 'No, I don't,' Ms Travia laughed. 'It's a very traumatising career — I don't think I'd ever go back.' Mentored by Iona teacher Lisa Corbett, Ms Travia enjoyed the process of painting Stored Away but said she never thought her work would end up on a wall in WA's most prestigious art gallery. 'The standard in Perth, especially for Year 12 students, is crazy,' she said. The West Australian Pulse exhibition is free and runs until August 31.
