Last Thursday, Melbourne`s The Emporium shone a little bit brighter as hundreds of guests queued outside to attend The Diamond Drop presented by #1800Tequila as part of Melbourne Fashion Week. Hosted by style guru Elliot Garnaut, guests sipped Palomas served in mini 1800 bottles while anticipation built for the $15,000 diamond prize.
When contestant 39 from Darwin struck gold - or clear, as the case may be - the moment was the perfect metaphor for the week where clarity, quality and taste were front and centre.
