Australian Fashion Week is back for another year, this time making its return at a new location: Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art. If there’s one thing our friends across the ditch know how to do well (aside from putting on a good show) it’s making a stylish entrance. While this week is all about showcasing the very best talent the Antipodean fashion industry has to offer, we’ll no doubt be seeking sartorial inspiration from the attendees as well. 

Below, our editors round up the best dressed guests from each day of Australian Fashion Week. Here’s who made the list…

Day one – Maticevski

Day one – Beare Park

Day one – Carla Zampatti
