On the runway, more brands are championing the idea that past season doesn’t mean old. But some are doing it louder than others.
At Australian Fashion Week, opinions on the various shows can swing widely between “amazing”, “nice” and “terrible”. One person’s wishlist is another person’s worst nightmare, and so forth. But there’s been one uniting force at the event for more than 25 years: newness.
“Being sustainably focused, I had to be brave enough to do something different,” Galleghan says, adding she wanted to “challenge the fashion industry to do something positive, makes a difference”.While she flirted with the idea of dumping landfill on the runway, much to the olfactory relief of the attendees at Galleghan’s show at Sydney’s Carriageworks, she decided to let the clothes – gender agnostic, timeless, and built to last – speak for themselves.
And, of course, if anyone wants to see her new collection, they only need to ask: it has been designed and is in production, but Galleghan says since becoming a mother for the first time last year, she didn’t feel pressured to conform to fashion’s faster pace.In a minor plot twist, Galleghan has partnered with TikTok – the home of many an unboxing video from fast-fashion brands such as Shein – to spread her message.
“It’s such a thing that everyone needs a new trend, a new piece,” she says. “It’s a nice way to be sustainable without having to think about it.”
