All the Proof You Need That Australian Fashion Deserves International Attention

This May 9–17, Who What Wear Australia presents its third annual Street Style Awards#TheStreeties, honouring the tastemakers and industry insiders whose style sets the tone and influences the world of fashion today. Last year, Chloe Hill was crowned the winner of the 2017 Street Style Awards, for her ability to push boundaries with flair and colour. We can't wait to see what 2018 has in store. 

In case you missed it, our street style awards #TheStreeties are back this year for Fashion Week Australia, and we can’t wait to see what great looks are yet to come. To get your creative juices flowing, and to kick off the awards, we are starting by calling out some of the best international street style spotted on our favourite local fashion girls.

From New York to Paris, some of our country’s most fashionable women have trotted the globe—and served some serious looks along the way. Because we are so far from the cities with major fashion weeks, it gives us peace of mind knowing that Australian women are representing our fashion industry worldwide, proving that we deserve our spot on the fashion map. If #MBFWA doesn’t already confirm that Australia knows fashion, the way that Australian women represent themselves at international fashion weeks sure does. Though there were many amazing examples of our favourite local fashion girls showing the world how we do fashion, we’ve narrowed it down to a few of the best looks. Read on to see what we found to be the most memorable international fashion moments of Australian women this year, and let them inspire your fashion week outfit choices.
