Australian and New York models, designers, creatives, and fashion notables joined co-hosts Laura Brown, Malcolm Carfrae & Julie Anne Quay to celebrate the Australian Fashion Foundation’s 16th Annual Summer Party at Nine Orchard. Each year, the non-profit 501(c)3 Australian Fashion Foundation (AUSFF) awards scholarships and internships with top fashion companies in New York City to the next generation of Australian fashion talent. AUSFF’s Summer Party was presented by its longstanding philanthropic partners, the American Australian Association and The Next Generation, with special thanks to Wölffer Estate & LALO Tequila.
“The AUSFF Summer Party is a much loved reunion of the Australian (and American) fashion industry in New York City, and we are so thankful to our partners the American Australian Association and The Next Generation, founded by Nick & Gabi Molnar, for making it possible. It’s a privilege to be able to support the future of Australia’s brightest fashion talent and build bridges for them to the mighty US fashion industry.” - Malcolm Carfrae (Co-Founder, AUSFF)
