Golden touch… Get it? Stephanie Rice, Olympic Gold Medallist? .. omg worst headline ever.

So it was one of the hottest August days in QLD history and it was the perfect day for the start of this year’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival supported by Brisbane City Hall.

Stephanie Rice got to enjoy not only the radiating Qld sun but also hot swimwear design.

Sponsors and VIP’s got to mingle with the designers and models onboard the FantaSea at the end of the opening show.
