Over 90 designers showcased their work and many of these were young Australians with an incredibly inspiring take on next Summer’s fashion trends. Sustainability in fashion played a major role.

3. Gillian Garde

4. Ingrid Husodo

Ingrid started her independent career as one of the Miss World Fashion Designers (2013).  The label is a favourite of famous Indonesian actresses. Her designs are made up of interesting prints creating a story to the whole look.

9. VALUSTA X 10/10

VALUSTA x 10/10 is founded by two Australian-Vietnamese designers, Tiana Van and Khang Nguyen. Their vision is to blur every line and redefine the term “modern luxury”.
