STYLEAID returned to Crown Perth on 15 August 2025 as STYLEAID: PHOENIX, ending a seven-year hiatus. The fashion fundraiser paired a runway of Western Australian designers with dining and entertainment, marking the 40th anniversary of WAAC, formerly the West Australian AIDS Council. The event has passed; no later edition has been confirmed in the sources available.
What was STYLEAID?
STYLEAID was a Perth fashion fundraiser associated with WAAC, an organisation whose stated work includes HIV and LGBTIQA+ health services in Western Australia. Its 2025 edition, STYLEAID: PHOENIX, brought fashion and fundraising together in a formal event at Crown Ballroom. WAAC’s anniversary gave the return an additional milestone: the organisation was marking 40 years.
The event was organised as a fundraiser for WAAC, but the available event coverage does not itemise how proceeds were distributed or identify a specific service that received a particular share.
When and where did it return?
STYLEAID: PHOENIX took place at Crown Ballroom, Crown Perth, on 15 August 2025. It was described in advance as the event’s return after a seven-year hiatus. WAAC’s Humanitix listing confirms the date and venue and marks the event as passed.

What were the 2025 ticket prices and capacity?
PerthNow reported before the event that capacity was 500 guests, with general admission priced at A$350 and VIP table seats at A$500. Those figures describe the 2025 event only; they are not current ticket offers.
How much had STYLEAID raised?
PerthNow and OUTinPerth reported that STYLEAID had raised more than $2 million over two decades. That is a reported fundraising-history figure, not an independently audited total established by the available coverage.
What was HIV Unwrapped?
Crown Resorts said its HIV Unwrapped exhibition ran at Crown Towers Perth from 15 to 31 August 2025, coinciding with STYLEAID. It displayed nine garments inspired by contemporary HIV research. The exhibition was a related initiative at the venue, distinct from the STYLEAID runway programme.
