Cairns Alt-Fashion - Candy Theme
That's right, IT'S BACK!!
Cairns Alt-Fashion is back this year, this time we have a theme for the month of December called Candy!
Candy Theme:
Colors, and all of them. Very similar to Harajuku fashion in Japan but with a more focus on a candy theme. So things like candy pins, hair ties/clips, necklaces ect. If you feel like you've gone over the top, then you are right on point!
We'll get some photos done too, I even thought about making a red carpet we could strut down for a cool photo or video clip haha!
