Leading designers, Vogue Australia, Ebay Australia, University of Technology Sydney showed solidarity here, have you shown your support? I attended the AFC member update (virtually) yesterday and congratulate the proactive actions, vision, accountability and transparency of the Australian Fashion Council (AFC).
