Over the years, though, it’s the moments on the runway that have rightfully planted themselves in our minds.

In 2022, the first adaptive runway took place. In earlier years, the chaos of snakes and rats accompanying models down the runway has been the cause of headlines, and AFW has seen iconic international supermodels open shows, and awe-inducing offsite show locations at iconic Sydney landmarks have taken our breaths away.
