The Designer Runway Looks We Can’t Wait To Wear

Highlights from Afterpay Australian Fashion Week 2022.

ICYMI, Australian Fashion Week was in full swing at Carriageworks in Sydney, and while the weather here was sad and grey, the outfits – both on the runway and the streets – were anything but. Hosted by Afterpay, the five-day event boasted a schedule of runway shows presented by some of the most notable fashion labels in Australia so we thought we’d share some future outfit inspiration from the brands available on THE ICONIC.

Bianca Spender

A celebration of the female form and made from 90% deadstock fabrics – we can’t help but love every detail from Bianca Spender’s SS22 collection.

What better way to show off statement jewellery that’s made for wild nights out than a party at the designer’s home?

Speaking of party girls, sass & bide’s collection was bold, energetic and fun with a colour palette of oranges and neon greens underpinned by the darkest blacks for a strong statement.

Florals were a focus for the TORANNCE collection with models walking down the runway wearing tiered skirts and dresses smattered with pretty petal prints head-to-toe.

Hansen & Gretel

Hansen & Gretel delivered holiday vibes with a collection of relaxed silhouettes in silky satins and oozy knits, even the tailoring was relaxed with models sporting half-buttoned shirts to emphasise their OOO mood.
