The face of summer racing

Meet Courtney Eaton, 14, of Vittoria Heights, the young Bunbury Cathedral Grammar school student who was this week named the inaugural Face of the Fashion Festival.

The South West Fashion Festival will run in Bunbury from February 23-27 to promote local designers, artists, photographers and retailers to a broader market.

Courtney — who is signed to a major Perth modelling agency — will now have a busy time in the lead up to the festival as she promotes the event which also aims to find local talent, new or established, and help them to branch out to metropolitan, interstate and international areas.

Courtney was selected from 10 finalists who paraded at the Bunbury Turf Club on Melbourne Cup Day.
