Westfield Sydney’s luxurious Sky Lobby hosted the first-ever Australian Fashion Film Awards last night, May 20, appreciating work by the likes of Baz Luhrmann, Gracie Otto and Catherine Martin, plus brands such as Chanel, Country Road and Fendi.
A mix of models, directors, actresses, presenters and stylists hit the red carpet for the big night, stepping it up in suits, embellishments, neck scarves and more. It really was a mixed offering, with so many different people from different professions stepping out to celebrate the fashion film genre.
