It's almost a week since returning to the Gold Coast from this year's Australian Fashion Week in Sydney. The wonders of a trip away and changing your work environment can do wonders. As a result, I’m filled with a profound sense of rejuvenation from my trip. The vibrant energy and creativity at the Australian Fashion Week is always infectious, and this year's trip has been a reminder why I fell in love with fashion in the first place. Being surrounded by passionate, like-minded individuals has reignited my own creative spark, something I have been missing while working behind the scenes on consultancy projects with fashion brands and businesses this past year

The Joy of Creative Community
Australian Fashion Week is more than just runway shows; it’s a melting pot of innovation and artistry every which way you look. From the show production to street style at the Carrriageworks it's a feast for the eyes. Each conversation and each new creative connection sparks inspiration and deeper thought and query about our industry. As I have always said: "Us creatives speak our own language, we get one another, we finish each other's sentences and thoughts." As a result, the collaborative atmosphere that is Australian Fashion Week is refreshing, allowing ideas to flow freely and creatively. It's these interactions that fuel my passion and drive for the industry.
A Fresh Perspective on Personal Style
This experience profoundly impacted my personal style. Yes, sometimes us stylist get into style funks. However, immersed in the dynamic fashion environment, I found myself experimenting more again and changing things up last minute unexpectedly and being thrilled with the results. It was a reminder that fashion is ever evolving and that stepping out of one’s comfort zone can lead to exciting new discoveries.
A Burst of Creative Energy
Coming back from Sydney, I feel a renewed sense of optimism and energy. The event wasn’t just a professional highlight; it was a rejuvenation for my soul. The sheer creativity and resilience displayed by everyone at Fashion Week have reinvigorated my outlook and filled me with new ideas. New ideas, plans, projects and especially events I wish to bring to the Gold Coast Fashion creative community.
Australian Fashion Week is a testament to the power of creativity and community. It reminded me of the importance of being part of such an inspiring industry and the joy that comes from shared passion. Here’s to embracing more opportunities for creative growth and to the endless journey of discovering new fashion horizons.
