Australian Fashion Week hit Sydney last week and the industry, TikTok and punters have thoughts... 

We take a deep dive into the ~discourse~ around fashion week shenanigans, and Maggie shares her personal experience of being on ground. We reference TikToks by creators Joely Malcolm and Carmen Azzopardi, Refinery29 Australia and recommend watching this video by Abby Butler.

We also reference this piece by Crystal Andrews titled The Unsexy But Necessary Way To Ensure A Truly Diverse Fashion Week. 

Next, we chat about book clubs. Are they inspired by the rise in celebrity book-inspo we've seen? We reference this piece by The Cut titled Why Does Every Famous Woman Have a Book Club Now? 

In recommendations, Maggie recommends The Honeyeater by Jessie Tu while Jas recommends Why Members-Only Clubs Are Everywhere Right Now by Emily Sundberg for GQ. 

At the top of the episode, we share some events we're attending in the coming weeks. They include the Bridgerton Queen's Ball and an evening with Dr. Jane Goodall, live in Melbourne. Hopefully see you there!
