This year, Fashion week spectators in New York caught a glimpse of Australia’s designer talent as well. Alice McCall (who normally shows in London), showed her threads in New York – which coincides with the launch of her collection for the up-and-coming U.S Topshop this September. A select few guest’s from the Big Apple had the pleasure of witnessing Willow’s latest collection at an exclusive invite-only event. A week later, Akira celebrated a decade of designing in Paris along side new comer Josh Goot, who delivered a kaleidoscopic collection that epitomised the ‘body-con dressing’ ideal. Meanwhile ex-pat Richard Nicoll re-energized monochromatic aesthetics with clean, sporty attire inspired by early Helmut Lang creations. And this is just a taste of what’s to come.
