Australian Fashion Week is right around the corner (mark your calendars — it kicks off Monday, May 13), and while we eagerly wait to see what street style we’ll be served this year, we thought we’d take a look back at some of our favourite from past years.
From timeless all-white ensembles to a simple jeans-and-a-puffer jacket look that still looks elegant, these off-the-runway looks show that nothing is off-limits for Australians and why we’ve made such a mark on the global fashion scene. So, ’til we see this year’s Australian Fashion Week street style…
At last year’s Fashion Week, influencer Sarah Ellen wore a red Haulier jumper under a black jacket. She paired the jumper and jacket with baggy jeans and Adidas trainers.
Also at AFW 2023, we spotted Mimi Elashiry wearing this black and white corporate look with a touch of the boho fashion she’s known for in the form of a black vest and mesh black bag.
Another street style look we love from AFW 2024 is Maria Thattil in a sheer white skirt over high-waisted briefs and with a bedazzled bra top. She completed the outfit with black, heeled boots and a black handbag.
This look by photographer and style editor Candice Lake from 2013 shows just how timeless an all-white ensemble can be. Lake wore Camilla and Marc and shoes by Willow.
Another all-white look (can you tell I’m a fan?), though this time, finished off with a pair of nude Christian Louboutin pumps, Eleanor Pendleton wore an Ellery dress and a Daily Edited clutch to Fashion Week in 2015.
Sara Donaldson showed us how to make a puffer jacket look chic in 2018 when she wore a waist-length black coat over cropped jeans and pointed heels outside the Camilla and Marc show.
Known for her minimalist and elevated style, Talisa Sutton paired a white button up shirt with wide sleeves with navy pants and a black bag at Australian Fashion Week in 2017.
Jade Tuncdoruk went for tonal at Fashion Week in 2021. She wore a Mossman trench coat over a Camilla and Marc shirt, Oroton blazer and Bec and Bridge skirt. A Dior bag completed the look.
Model Elodie Russell gave us a lesson in how to jazz up a basic black suit. She added pops of yellow in the form of a Bottega Veneta shoes and bag, as well as a Nue Studio top, to a Dion Lee blazer and pants.
Not afraid to experiment with trends, but still always looking chic and effortless, Eleanor Pendleton deserves two spots on this list for her Fashion Week looks. In 2015, she wore an outfit from Ixiah, paired with a Celine handbag.
Yan Yan Chan went for a twist on a head-to-toe suit at Fashion Week in 2021, wearing this beige number from new designer Jordan Dalah with lace details over the sleeves and waist.
Whoever thought you couldn’t wear head-to-toe yellow? Nadia Fairfax showed us how at Fashion Week in 2021 when she wore a Paris Georgia top and pants and Bottega Veneta bag, all in yellow, paired with sunglasses from Banbe.
Proving she really can pull off anything, Kiwi model Georgia Fowler went for matching trousers and a blazer in a plaid green and purple print at Fashion Week in 2017.
