Through live interviews, cultural performances, collaborations, and a signature “Adobo” food experience, attendees are invited to taste, feel, and live the culture being celebrated. Picture this: inspiring conversations with artists, entrepreneurs, and everyday heroes, surrounded by the aroma of authentic Filipino cuisine, live music, and captivating dance performances. It’s not just a show — it’s a cultural connection that engages all the senses.

The inaugural WSB Hustle ’N Show will take place on Saturday, 18 October, at the Granville Centre in NSW.

Each brings a unique perspective — representing the hustle, creativity, and spirit that define the show.

Following its debut, WSB Hustle ’N Show will evolve into a monthly live talk-show event, blending thought-provoking discussion with live entertainment and culinary experiences. Complementing the live events, weekly podcast episodes will continue the conversation, amplifying the voices of inspiring Australians across industries and backgrounds.

With its seamless fusion of storytelling, culture, and community spirit, WSB Hustle ’N Show is poised to redefine how Australians experience live entertainment and meaningful dialogue.

side the Grand Multicultural Entertainment Festival: How Australia’s Fashion and Culture Powerhouse Is Redefining Representation

Posted on by Deborah

As the global fashion and entertainment industries continue to embrace diversity and inclusivity, one Australian event is setting a new benchmark for what a modern, multicultural showcase can look like. The Grand Multicultural Entertainment Festival, returning for its highly anticipated second season on August 2, 2025, is not just a celebration — it’s a strategic platform for visibility, entrepreneurship, and cultural diplomacy.

Set in the prestigious Swissôtel Sydney, the event is poised to once again unite fashion icons, creative leaders, emerging talent, and cultural representatives from across the country. Its mission is clear: spotlight diversity, elevate underrepresented voices, and create commercial opportunities across industries.

From Glamour to Growth: The Business of Representation

Headlining the event is the Cover Stars Parade, curated by StarCentral Media Group, a company renowned for discovering and developing talent across media and modelling. Featuring past and present cover stars of StarCentral Magazine, this segment does more than dazzle — it acts as a branding masterclass in personal visibility.

With Cover ModelQuest 2025 returning by popular demand, male and female contenders will compete for one of the most coveted honours in the indie modelling industry: the cover of StarCentral Magazine. But this is not just a beauty contest. Judging criteria includes presence, narrative, audience engagement, and authenticity — qualities that resonate deeply with modern consumers and brands alike.

“Being on a cover today isn’t about looking good,” said a spokesperson from StarCentral. “It’s about owning your story and influencing culture. We’re looking for brand builders — not just models.”

A Talent Pipeline for the Next Generation

A key differentiator of the Grand Multicultural Entertainment Festival is its emphasis on nurturing young talent. The StarCentral Kids Fashion Exhibition allows aspiring models — some as young as five — to take the spotlight in a supportive, high-energy environment.

This isn’t just charming entertainment; it’s a potential entry point into the creative economy. With children’s modelling and family-oriented influencer marketing on the rise, early exposure to platforms like this can shape commercial careers. For parents and sponsors alike, the event presents opportunities for brand alignment, community engagement, and long-term investment.

The Queens Parade: Influence With Impact

Adding depth and dignity to the glamour is the Queens Parade, a showcase of reigning beauty queens from across Australia, each proudly representing their heritage and values.

These women are more than pageant winners — they are entrepreneurs, advocates, and cultural ambassadors. Many use their titles to launch philanthropic initiatives, mentorship programs, and businesses. Their participation in the festival highlights the intersection of influence, leadership, and empowerment — the exact space where modern branding thrives.

More Than a Runway: A Multicultural Movement

As consumer expectations evolve, brands are being held to higher standards around inclusivity and representation. The Grand Multicultural Entertainment Festival answers that call by creating an experience that is inclusive by design and commercially viable by execution.

From showcasing traditional garments and high fashion on the same runway to bridging generational and cultural divides, the event reflects Australia’s changing demographic — and positions itself as a model for how inclusivity can drive innovation.

“We’re not just producing a show — we’re building a blueprint,” said one of the festival’s organisers. “This is what the future of events looks like: diverse, meaningful, and connected.”

What Entrepreneurs and Investors Should Watch

The Festival is more than a feel-good celebration; it’s fertile ground for networking, brand discovery, and trend forecasting. With its ability to draw influencers, media outlets, beauty queens, and creative entrepreneurs under one roof, the event offers fertile ground for:

  • Brand collaborations and ambassador scouting

  • Emerging designer exposure

  • Micro-influencer marketing opportunities

  • Youth talent development pipelines

  • Cultural partnerships and sponsorships

In short, it’s a smart bet for companies seeking authentic engagement in the Australian multicultural market — a segment that continues to grow in size, spending power, and cultural relevance.

📍 Swissôtel Sydney
📅 Saturday, 2 August 2025

As global industries look to diversify, the Grand Multicultural Entertainment Festival is emerging as a case study in cultural entrepreneurship, demonstrating how thoughtful representation can generate real economic value — and turn visibility into impact.cccc

A Dazzling Night of Talent and Style: Miss Runway Supermodel Australia 2025 Crowns Its Queen

Posted on by Tiffany

Sydney, Australia — Against the sweeping backdrop of the Hawkesbury River, Runway Supermodel Australia 2025 unfolded in spectacular fashion at the scenic Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury. The evening delivered not just a glamorous modelling competition but a celebration of rising talent, cultural artistry, and the bold future of Australian fashion.

Fourteen standout models competed in a dazzling display of style, poise, and personality across four runway segments: swimwear, formal wear, autumn fashion, and a showstopping creative category featuring Ven Eyes couture. The contestants — Angelica M, Taisha, Tizma, Chloe, Jamie, Kohdi, Julie, Lay Mean, Natasha, Shannon, Adele, Kyarna, Tianna, Angelica E, and others — each brought their unique flair to the stage, captivating both the audience and judges alike.

But the evening was more than a competition. It was an experience — from the indulgent array of canapés (featuring classic Aussie bites like meat pies, cheese balls, and gyoza) to the vibrant cultural performances that lit up the stage. Ruchi Sanghi Dance Company delivered a powerful tribute to classical Indian movement, while singer Effie brought soulful energy to the room. The charismatic duo of Crystel and Geoffrey hosted with warmth and wit, guiding the audience through an evening of high fashion and heartfelt moments.

One of the event’s most talked-about highlights was a special showcase by Dreams to Reality (DTR) Runway Models, a youth-focused fashion initiative led by industry mentor Bonni Sullivan. The showcase featured emerging talents including Paisley, Genevieve, Aita, Arabella, Savannah, Yazmane, Zara G, Taisha, Kirsty, Tennysee, and Grace — each of whom walked with the polish and confidence of seasoned professionals.

Among them, several rising stars stood out:

  • Paisley, the current DTR cover model, opened the showcase with commanding elegance.

  • Tennysee Docherty, the cover star of StarCentral Kids, lit up the runway with her natural charisma and joyful presence.

  • Grace Stewart, gracing the cover of Model & Mode magazine, stunned in every step with her effortless poise.

These young models didn’t just walk — they owned the runway, demonstrating the very essence of what Dreams to Reality stands for: empowerment, growth, and the courage to shine on the world’s stage.

Monisha Sami, recently featured on the cover of StarCentral Magazine, also made an appearance with style and sophistication that held the audience spellbound.

As the competition came to a close, four contestants rose above the rest:

  • Natasha Haddad took home Best in Swimwear and was later crowned the Runway Supermodel Australia 2025 champion.

  • Chloe Zerebiec won Best in Formal Wear, dazzling in an evening gown that shimmered with elegance.

  • Angelica Epifani was selected as Ven Eyes’ Choice, recognised for her striking interpretation of the avant-garde fashion brief.

  • And Taisha, a crowd favourite, claimed the People’s Choice Award with her infectious energy and consistent stage presence.

Behind the scenes, the event’s success was made possible by a collaboration of visionaries:

Regal Star Productions, helmed by CEO Lovely Bandal, led the event with creative precision. Flagcom expertly handled production logistics, while Friends, led by Albert Prias, infused the evening with a sense of unity and purpose.

Runway Supermodel Australia 2025 wasn’t just about crowns and cameras — it was about the power of representation, the rise of young voices in fashion, and the joy of coming together in celebration of creativity. In a world craving authenticity and inspiration, this night delivered both — in spades.

What a night.
