G'day news! Last night in Sydney, The Australians in New York Fashion Foundation announced that thanks to their partnership with the Woolmark Company, they are taking their Aussie act on the road. The organization is expanding their operations to Europe and rebranding to the more global-friendly name, Australian Fashion Foundation (AUSFF). Soon they'll be everywhere! At a cocktail party at One Moncur that brought out Ruby Jean Wilson, Zac and Jordan Stenmark, and Gail Elliott, they also announced Natasha Fagg and Tim Watson as the winners of their AUSFF internship grants. "Natasha and Tim are the future of Australian fashion," said AUSFF co-founder Malcolm Carfrae. "Their submissions showed expert use of technology, design skill, and innovation." You heard it here first.
