Picture: Julie Kiriacoudis Source: The Daily Telegraph IT'S a fashion crescendo for Sydney's hard-core celebrities. This week, they face some of the biggest events on the social calendar including pre-fashion week shows, Friday's Crown ladies lunch hosted by Gretel and Erica Packer, the Golden Slipper at Rosehill on Saturday and then the Logies on Sunday. Next Monday, the fashion fest really kicks in. It's enough to turn even the most laid-back fashionista's life into label hell. What to wear? Right across the city wardrobes are being up-ended in the search for something cool enough to pass muster at the various key events including Fashion Star, Rachel Gilbert's lunch at Otto on Wednesday. Most A-listers will own at least one of the designer's red carpet gowns and cocktail frocks but you can't really trot them out at lunchtime - or can you? Meanwhile those lucky enough to score an invite to the inaugural Crown/Women's Weekly autumn ladies lunch at Bennelong on Friday hosted by Erica and Gretel Packer are already quivering in their Christian Louboutin heels. With Erica Packer's well-known devotion to Christian Dior and Crown's Ann Peacock having her pick of the best local and imported labels, there might just be time enough for an emergency delivery from Net-a-Porter (now with an Asian base for a faster service to Australia). But the countdown is definitely on. According to Celebrity Apprentice star and fashion publicist Roxy Jacenko, the best labels to choose for the next few weeks include Givenchy ("they don't put a foot wrong - from their tailoring to their accessories"), Myer/David Jones tug-a-war designer Ellery ("love her architectural shapes and fabrics"), Celine knits and Ksubi T-shirts. For Jacenko, the "it" bags include the Chanel Boy bag or the Hermes Birkin. As if that wasn't enough to put you in the red, the Sweaty Betty boss also recommends investing in a Balmain statement black blazer and a Ryan Storer ear cuff, the new jewellery item taking the fashion world by storm. "Vogue's Christine Centenera started this look trending and now we can't get enough of them," she says.But if even the most compliant stylist is not taking your calls, the best advice of all is to simply wear black.
