NAPOLEON PERDIS ANNOUNCES KEY DESIGNER PARTNERSHIPS FOR AUTUMN WINTER 2005 COLLECTIONS

Napoleon Perdis today announced he will once again partner with Australia's leading fashion designers to produce some of the most spectacular makeup creations during the Mercedes Australian Fashion Week (MAFW) Autumn Winter 2005 collection shows in Melbourne October 26-28.

Napoleon's inspired and innovative creations are set to sparkle at some of the most anticipated individual collection shows on the schedule. This includes Australia's most colourful and flamboyant designer, Charlie Brown, Nicola Finetti, the Italian born design genius, the cool and hip men's streetwear label Mjolk, the stylish and street smart White Suede and the middle-eastern inspired woman's label, Caravana.

Autumn Winter 2005 catwalk beauties will take their cue from silver screen glamour with mesmerising metallic creations, with an emphasis on sultry, smouldering eyes.

After wowing crowds with his four month 'Runway To Reality' US tour of Saks Fifth Avenue Department stores around Amercia, Napoleon returns to Australian shores in mid November to share his industry secrets and expertise in a 'Masterclass' of makeup artistry for industry that will be held in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.

With his famous charismatic style, Napoleon will generate unprecedented excitement with step-by-step looks and sharing pro-tips and his industry secrets to 'Bring Out the celebrity in You' to those who attend.

In addition to this, Napoleon's commitment to nurturing and mentoring Australian's up-and-coming makeup talent continues through his nation-wide Academy competition, whereby four lucky students have been awarded the fabulous opportunity to assist the core creative team backstage at all Napoleon Perdis sponsored shows. The winners, from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, will each join the official Napoleon Perdis MAFW A/W 2005 makeup team to work at the often hectic and exciting pace of a professional makeup artist.

Napoleon says, "The Napoleon Perdis Makeup Academy is the breeding ground for the next generation of makeup talent in this country. Working behind the scenes at Mercedes Australian Fashion Week is a chance of a lifetime for any makeup student."

Continuing their strong onsite presence at MAFW AW, Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics will once again pamper and spoil all VIPs with exclusive access to a beauty makeup and nail bar in the Skyy Vodka Bar. The Napoleon Perdis makeup teams will be on hand to create any makeup look desired - be it a soft and sultry day time look or a dramatic 'smoky eye', night time look.

Satisfying the tastebuds of the waiting fashion packs, all MAFW participates will have the opportunity to nibble on servings of popcorn handed out daily in cute candy pink Napoleon Perdis branded containers.
