“On a beautiful sunny winter’s afternoon, Mark and I left home to head to the Zweck Gala on the Swan event, which we had decided to attend along with a number of other couples from the Porsche Club of Western Australia. We were welcomed with champagne and wine, closely followed by an array of tasty canapes and live music. The highlight of the evening was a parade of 43 models all dressed in amazing Zweck creations, threading their way through the rooms of the house. We also spent the time perusing the silent auction items and looking through the event brochure at the items listed for the live auction which was about to be held. The live auction was the last event of the evening, and an entertaining and fun time was had by all as one by one the items were bid for and the excitement built as each bidder claimed their prize. It was a wonderful evening which raised a substantial amount of money for the Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation, and we are really looking forward to attending the 3rd Annual Zweck Gala Fundraising Dinner later this year.” Claire Gray

“I very much enjoyed participating in the inaugural Zweck Fashion Show to raise funds for the Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation. It was very satisfying knowing that, whilst stage fright and nerves were playing a part in walking down the catwalk, the experience resulted in over $21,000 being donated to the charity. I am very much looking forward to being a “Real Woman” model for the next and third Zweck Fashion Show, if you’re considering participating – do it. The evening was immense fun and there was a wonderful backstage camaraderie with the other models.”

“I had never thought of myself as a fashion model, but taking part in the inaugural Zweck Fashion Gala for Perth Children’s Hospital in 2019 was a wonderful, empowering experience. It felt fabulous to step out on the runway with confidence in a beautiful Zweck gown – all the time knowing that it was in support of such a great cause. I had a ball! If you are like me, and never thought of modelling I whole-heartedly encourage you to give it a whirl!”

“It has now been more than eight years since my first purchase of Zweck merchandise, and I have been wearing them ever since. My first item was a beautiful long coat, where even today, I receive many compliments every time I wear it. It is still very current and unique in its style. I have a Zweck wardrobe which consists of golf attire and office administrative clothing. I always receive generous remarks about how smart and classy I look.
Then I started to model for Zweck for social media advertising and a few charities fashion shows. The latest being the Zweck Gala Fashion Parade for Perth Children's Hospital Foundation (PCHF) in 2018 at the Hyatt Regency Perth. There were forty-three models of all ages and my daughter Ciara (20 years) also modelled for this great event. It was a sensational experience, from creating the outfit to wear and practicing down the runway for the big event night. We both enjoyed the process and friendships that were developed with the other participants. It was a great feel good factor, knowing what we did helped to raise over $21,000.00 for PCHF!!!
It is a shame that I cannot participate this time, as I will be in Ireland visiting my family, after a long time. I can strongly recommend any woman that would like to participate in this event to step forward and enjoy this unique experience, it will certainly increase your confidence and will having you wearing Zweck for a long time to come, with a lifetime of memories!!!

” A memorable night with our Porsche family where we come together in glamour for a good cause. I cannot wait for the next one. Everyone who attended had a blast and could not wait to put on their tux and gowns again. Having most of the Porsche Club members there also made it an intimate event as it was like our own private party. It was particularly touching to know that our members contributed the most to the charity that day, with some even outbidding themselves. It was an unforgettable event for most of us, with our Porsches on display, beautiful women and handsome men parading, endless canapes, bottomless champagne from Purple Reign, fantastic music, fashion parade of beautiful dresses made by hand by our own fellow member Klara and to tie it all together, it was all for a good cause. It was a memorable glitzy night, and I cannot wait for the next one!
By the way, we have just recently used one of the auction items we bid on, which was a two night stay in Mandurah. What a great trip, I hope it is on auction again.”
