The twin sisters were wearing items from the collection, which features hand drawings by a local tattoo artist and be on sale next month.
Westcott and Jackson had first met The Veronicas backstage at a festival in Cairns, before inviting them to help design a collection.
“We are such big fans, we’ve worn (Jagger and Stone) on all our festival runs, so when the girls approached us about doing a collaboration, we were so excited, we couldn’t wait,” Jessica said.
The Veronicas are due to release their first album in six years in the coming months while they will also appear on the new season of Celebrity Apprentice.
“We were an absolute nightmare. I cried three times, Lisa was melting down at everyone, so there’s that to look forward to because we probably won’t have a career after it airs,” Jessica laughed on stage.
“I think being problematic is part of the Veronicas brand at this point, so it’s fine,” Lisa added.
The Happy Hour Live show was Jackson and Westcott’s first live recording of their popular Happy Hour podcast and featured onstage guests including reality star Abbie Chatfield, music duo Boo Seeka and The Veronicas as surprise performers.
“We’ve been fans of the Veronicas for over a decade and coming together on this collaboration is a dream come true. They’re true rock stars and just beautiful people,” the pair said.
“We wanted to keep it a secret as we wanted an epic special moment.”
The audience included local high flyers such as Emily Skye and Tammy Hembrow.
