Australian Fashion Week: The Reality Behind the Glamour

Australian Fashion Week: Beyond the Instagram Filter Australian Fashion Week, held recently in Sydney, Australia, revealed a surprising contrast between its glamorous online portrayal and the reality on the ground. ABC Australia's video report provides an insider's look, showing that the event is surprisingly accessible to the public. One attendee commented, "Most people are paying their own way to be here, paying for their own outfits." This challenges the often-seen image of exclusively sponsored influencers. The report also highlights the high cost of even basic items, with sandwiches selling for $18. The video shows a diverse range of attendees, some clearly sponsored and others simply enjoying the event. This suggests a more democratic and less exclusive reality than the social media image suggests. The event also highlights the disparity between the well-funded influencers and the everyday people who attend.
