Inside the Australian Fashion Foundation’s 10th annual summer party

The Australian Fashion Foundation (AUSFF) held its 10th annual summer party in New York City on June 4, at the Gitano Garden of Love. The event gathered the likes of Australia’s top modeling talent, influencers and industry leaders together for a soiree that was not to be missed.

Among the attendees were models Alexina Graham, Aleyna Fitzgerald, Bambi Northwood-Blyth, and Charlee Fraser, together with Vogue fashion director Christine Centenera, and fashion designer Fernando Garcia. Last year’s winners, Lucy Dickinson and Mikala Tavener Hanks, were also among the invitees.

Each year AUSFF hosts the summer party in order to present two US$20,000 (AU$28,685) scholarships and an invaluable internship with some of the top fashion companies in New York and Europe to up-and-coming Australian talent. Since 2008, the foundation has worked to provide homegrown creatives with hands-on international experience and training.

By encouraging and propelling the careers of young Australian students, AUSFF hopes to enrich the future of the country’s fashion industry, both here and abroad. To see inside the year’s event, presented by the American Australian Association and Bird in Hand winery, scroll on.
