A celebration of personal style and empowerment. In honour of International Women's Day 2019 we kicked off the night with Runway 5, Presented by Who What Wear at the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton. Strong, diverse, stylish women and their squads enjoyed an all female designer line-up with special performance by Washington. What a show, what a woman. Then it was time for the thrilling Menswear Runway, Presented by GQ, serving up old school Hip Hop which got everyone ready to hit the afterparty at Baroq House.
