Although not considered one of the Big Four fashion weeks that dominate proceedings in February and September (New York, London, Milan, Paris), Australian Fashion Week (launched in 1996) sits alongside other fashion destinations like Copenhagen and Tokyo - and should not be overlooked when it comes to seriously inspiring style.
Never forget, Australia has produced some incredible designers from the likes of Zimmermann Aje, Dion Lee and Christopher Esber. Floaty silhouettes, breezy cuts and beachside motifs reign supreme in the Aussie fashion sphere - resonating with UK-based shoppers in desperate need of a dopamine hit when it comes to summer dressing.
The Australian fashion industry has long suffered due to its lagging sartorial calendar. The country typically functions six months behind its European counterparts - meaning hopping on break-out trends isn't particularly easy. However, with the emergence of new, innovative brands and Australian Fashion Week, this is starting to change.
So as proceedings kick off for Australian Fashion Week 2025, lets take a look at the best dressed attendees and inhale some much needed sartorial inspiration from the sun-soaked shores of Aus.
