Day 1 of MBFWA saw a host of familiar faces descend on Carriageworks – as top style influencers and content creators arrived to check out the upcoming Resort collections for 2018/19 from local fashion houses.
Proving why Australian fashion brands continue to pull the international buyers in, each show had guests leaving impressed as the likes of Bianca Spender, Lee Mathews, Anna Quan, Michael Lo Sordo, and Alice McCall hit the runway.
