You know, last year we had Bear Park.

The year before that we had Victorian Woods.

It's expensive to show these runways and collections.

We all know that.

But these big brands say if they're not going to do it, imagine if we didn't have Age, Bianca Spender and Carlos and Patti in the headlines.

Yeah.

There'd be not much to see.

And they're doing it for the fashion community.

And they've said that.

So I think that's a really nice acknowledging these brands that do that for fashion within Australia.

Yeah.

And something different this year, instead of being at Carriageworks where it always is and we see influencers off on that brick wall, it's at the MCA, so Australian Museum of Contemporary Art.

Are you going to be there?

Yeah, I'll be there.

And just quickly mentioning as well, Australian Fashion Week have Next Gen and Frontier, which are categories which they show certain brands.

So Next Gen is all about who's next, particularly looking at students, grassroots, First Nation designers.

But what I love and what I'm excited about is Frontier, which is what's happening next within fashion, upcycling, new materials.

So sort of like what they do at Copenhagen.

So how they're going to start playing within that sustainability industry.

area and space of what's Australia doing there, which I'm really interested and can't wait to see that.
