Inside the 2019 annual white party

As hosted every year on the eve of Derby Day, Fiona and Sidney Myer once again opened the gates of Cranlana, their heritage family home in Melbourne’s affluent Toorak, to celebrate their annual white party, gathering their guests in its stunning sunken garden to toast the key event on the spring racing season calendar.

With an array of refreshments—including chilled flutes of Pol Roger champagne and gin martinis—and delectable canapés in hand, attendees sauntered through the expansive estate in their crisp white wares as they awaited Fiona’s majestic entrance, walking towards all who awaited her with two polo stick-holding equestrians on horseback in tow.

Of course, the monochrome dress code wasn’t worn on a whim, with guests having donned the hue since the celebration’s inception. However, this year’s party was made all the more special by its signature dress rules, as it also coincided with the fourth anniversary of Myer’s Melbourne-based fashion label, White Story, of which Fiona is the founder and creative director.

Founded in the garage of that very home on a small collection of eight white shirts, Myer toasted a brand milestone with the opening of its first bricks and mortar store on Armadale’s High Street.

Along with its partners, Bank of Melbourne and Archie Rose Distilling Co., this year’s white party saw the likes of the honourable Julie Bishop, joined by her partner David Panton and his daughter Laura, Deborah Hutton, Deeta Colvin, Michelle Battersby, Rozalia Russian, and model Montana Cox among many others in attendance, gathering under the towering marquee pitched within the grounds and gearing up for one of the spring racing carnival’s biggest days.
