Fashion Week Takeaways: Update Your Look Without Spending A Fortune

Jessica Leahy (model, journalist and all-round fashion powerhouse) joins Host Leigh Campbell to spill the tea on Australian Fashion Week 2025! From polka dots and leather gloves to Nagnata's bury-in-your-garden denim (yes, really!), they break down the runway highlights and what's actually worth adding to your wardrobe. Spoiler alert: cherry red is having a major moment.

Drowning in outfit indecision? Jessica's genius hack: choose accessories as the base of all your weekly fits to avoid fashion decision fatigue. Think metallic bags or statement earrings that work with everything. They also get real about runway diversity - yes, it's better than the bad old days, but still not quite there. 

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Jess's Budget: Route 66 Vintage Tees

Leigh's Budget: Staple The Label Fluffy Knit Jumper $99

Jess's Boujee: Nagnata Denim Jeans $450
