Gary Bigeni, #AFW2026.
From cutting up his mother’s dresses as a child to becoming one of Australia’s most distinct design voices, Bigeni continues to push fashion as personal expression. Each piece painted directly onto eco-cotton and produced in limited runs carries the imprint of the artist and the wearer.

Courtney Zheng #AFW2026
Courtney Zheng’s practice is defined by fluidity and control. Clean lines, languid silhouettes, and a focus on refined fabrication. Moving across ready to wear, made to order her work sits between classic and avant-garde, guided by an instinctive, distinctly personal approach.

Carla Zampatti #AFW2026
An institution in sharp lines and high gloss, Carla Zampatti built the blueprint for power dressing in Australia, the white suit, the evening column and the front row that always reflects it back. Worn across generations, these pieces are a part of a legacy that still set the tone.

Bianca Spender #AFW2026
Bianca Spender returns to the schedule, with signature tailoring that is precise but never restrictive, cut to move with the body and sit properly. Her collections are resolved down to the last detail, carried with a kind of taste you recognise immediately.

Alix Higgins #AFW2026
Alix Higgins returns to the schedule with his signature collision of print, image, and emotion. Collections unfold like a fever dream, part memory, part fantasy, carried by a cast of friends, muses, and collaborators spanning art, photography, and fashion.

Aje #AFW2026
Aje returns to Sydney via Paris with its signature interplay of sculptural volume, raw textures, and sun faded palettes. Collections that balance romance and structure carried by a well travelled Aje girl. There’s always that one dress, and it always makes sense wherever it lands in the world.
