WA today said:Qantas clipped the wings of fashion designer Aurelio Costarella ahead of one of his most important nights.
The Perth-based designer who frequently dresses Danni Minogue, Rebecca Judd and a number of Hollywood A-listers, did not attend his showcase at Melbourne Spring Fashion Week last night after his scheduled Qantas flight was grounded then cancelled.
The flight was originally delayed due to technical issues with the plane. A backlog of oversubscribed flights due to Perth's recent wild weather then saw the frequent fashion traveller stranded.
"You're a JOKE Qantas.. After a 3 hour wait we're told that this plane is going nowhere! The pilots have reached their legal time limit!!!" he tweeted.
"Hope I make it to my show!! Stuck on the Tarmac in Perth. Problems with the plane!!" he said before being told he will touch down just as the after party would be winding up.
"We're sorry that there is nothing we can do for you at this moment," replied the Flying Kangaroo via its official Twitter account.
His spring/summer range was shown in the first Designer Series showcase of the seven-day festival alongside another WA sartorial success story Ellery, Toni Maticevski and looks from Scanlan & Theodore.
The MSFW is important event on the national fashion calendar as it gives designers the opportunity to show off looks that are already in available for purchase.
Costarella was unable to travel earlier due to pressing deadlines for his next collection.
