Australian Fashion Week (AFW) is not only the largest and most influential fashion event in the Asia-Pacific but also a source of inspiration that can significantly impact your personal style. This annual event showcases the latest trends and designs from some of the most talented designers in Australia and worldwide. Style-And-You is here to digest the Australian Fashion Week highlights and what they mean for you.
Here’s how Australian Fashion Week can influence your style:
1. Inspiration from Runway Shows: The runway shows at AFW are a spectacle of cutting-edge fashion. They feature avant-garde designs, unique silhouettes, and innovative styling ideas that can inspire you to experiment with your wardrobe. Whether it’s bold colours, unconventional patterns, or unexpected combinations, these runway looks can ignite your creativity and encourage you to step out of your style comfort zone.
2. Access to Emerging Designers: AFW provides a platform for emerging designers to showcase their talent. By exploring up-and-coming designer collections, you can discover new brands and styles that resonate with your personal taste. Supporting emerging designers not only adds a unique flair to your wardrobe but also helps you stay ahead of the fashion curve.
3. Street Style Trends: The streets outside the fashion week venues are as much a runway as the catwalk itself. Fashion influencers, editors, and celebrities showcase their personal style, creating a melting pot of trends and ideas. Observing street style during AFW can give you insights into the latest fashion trends and how to incorporate them into your everyday looks.
4. Networking & Collaboration Opportunities: AFW brings together fashion professionals, bloggers, influencers, and enthusiasts from around the world. Attending the event or following it online can connect you with like-minded individuals who share your passion for fashion and style or simply connect you to a community of fashion enthusiasts to engage with and learn from.
5. Access to Exclusive Collections: AFW often features exclusive collections and limited-edition pieces not available elsewhere. By watching the event, you can get early access to these collections and add unique pieces to your wardrobe that set you apart from the mainstream fashion scene.
Here are some highlights from Day 2 of AFW, specifically from the ACLER runway show that I attended on May 14, 2024.
The Acler Resort’25 collection was truly timeless, modern, tailored, and feminine! It showcased quality textiles and masterful draping techniques in all pieces, crafted to transcend trends. I particularly loved their classic silhouettes with a burst of colour and modern updates that harness couture techniques, as well as luxurious finishings.

In conclusion, Australian Fashion Week is not just a showcase of the latest trends; it’s a source of inspiration and a catalyst for personal style evolution. Whether you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe, experiment with new styles, or simply soak in the creativity of the fashion world, Australian Fashion Week offers a wealth of opportunities to elevate your style game.
