Triumph International were present at the event, handing out triaction® goody bags to the hundreds of women who had not only transformed their bodies, but also their attitudes towards committing to a healthy lifestyle.
The Hilton Hotel was the location of the cocktail after party. Everyone ditched their runners for heels and a well deserved champagne. Michelle hosted the event and made time to meet the ladies and hear some of their inspirational stories.
Round three of the 12 Week Body Transformation kicks off in September. Good luck to everyone participating!
The much anticipated cruise 2011/12 la révélation collection was seen for the first time by the audience of 1000 fashion consumers and media. Rigor with sensuality was the focus introduced with elements of plaiting, pleating, frilling and suede binding combined to create a powerful statement. Detailing and strong colour combinations gave the collection an energetic charge.
Triumph International assisted with the styling of the show, contributing inner wear to compliment the showcased fashion.
The Award was hosted by the famous British TV and radio presenter George Lamb and judged by a top-class panel: model Lily Cole, the star photographer Ellen von Unwerth, the model and photographer as well as face and ambassador of Triumph Essence Helena Christensen, the international singer Coco Lee, the owner and CEO of the Premium Exhibition GmbH Anita Tillmann and Jos Berry who is Brand Executive Director for Triumph.

Michelle Bridges is one of the country's most experienced and highly qualified personal trainers and is devoted to motivating women to be the healthiest and fittest they can be through a combination of exercise and healthy eating.
Michelle has joined forces with triaction®, one of Australia’s most popular sports bra brands, with bras in the range offering varying levels of support from medium to extreme. ‘triaction® sports bras offer support at various levels, are very comfortable and look great. I am thrilled to be supporting the brand’, Michelle states.
Both Michelle Bridges and the triaction brand have a shared view of supporting women of all shapes, sizes and skill levels making Michelle the perfect match for the triaction® brand.
Michelle Bridges feels there is a great need for women to be properly supported during exercise through wearing a properly fitting sports bra. ‘If you are wearing the right sports bra for your size, shape and the exercise you are doing, you will be far more comfortable. And with comfort and support taken care of, you will be able to get on with the job of enjoying your exercise’, she says.
