‘Tasmanian royalty’ rules the Jordan Gogos runway
Australian designers are calling in favours and friends to support their ambitions at Australian Fashion Week.
Australian Fashion Week 2025: Jordan Gogos' Show a Surprisingly Satisfying Blend of Art and Fashion Sydney, Australia – May 15, 2025 – Australian Fashion Week witnessed a unique presentation by designer Jordan Gogos. His collection, described by fashion commentators as more art exhibition than traditional runway show, incorporated unconventional materials and bold design choices. Gogos' tapestry coats, reminiscent of 1950s dissected carpets, and dresses featuring tablecloth capes, captured the attention of attendees. One particularly striking piece was a tribute to the iconic American Express Oscar dress designed by Lizzy Gardiner for the film Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Gogos' version utilized Polaroid photographs of himself, creating a self-referential and memorable design. "It was surprisingly satisfying," commented one fashion critic in a video interview following the show. "It was a new form of art from Jordan Gogos." The show's unexpected designs and Gogos' innovative approach to fashion suggest a promising future for the designer, blending artistic expression with wearable fashion.
