The sometimes shocking and always entertaining Sukhoo Sukhoo Fashion Show brought its usual glamour, glitter and guys — in stilettos — to the annual garden party for Cornerstone Housing for Women, held Sunday afternoon in Rockcliffe Park at the official residence of Irish Ambassador Ray Bassett and his wife, Patricia.
For the past 10 years, popular Ottawa couturier Frank Sukhoo has been showcasing his creative custom-made designs at the benefit.
Larger-than-life MC Joseph Cull, dressed as the red-wigged Colleen Mary Margaret Margaret Mary Colleen, made a grand entrance as the tune Do Ya Think I’m Sexy? was playing on bagpipes.
The fashion show opened with dancer Maxime Nadeau prancing out to classic ragtime music wearing high high heals, tight short shorts and a bright pink flowing skirt cape. Later, dancer Christine Couture brought her sleek and contemporary moves to the runway. The pair returned at the end to close the show on a festive note.
The fashions featured a mix of professional models, Sukhoo clients and well-known Ottawa faces sashaying down the runway to upbeat disco songs.
