What I’m Looking Forward to Learning at Australian Fashion Week 2025

Hey, it’s Josh from Patch Agency here! As part of the team that lives and breathes digital marketing for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands, I’m super pumped to be heading to Australian Fashion Week (AFW) this May. It’s one of those events where creativity, style, and tech collide, and honestly, it’s the perfect place to soak up fresh ideas that we can bring back to our clients.

Here’s a quick rundown of what I’m keen to learn and why it matters for Patch and the brands we work with.

1. What’s Hot in Fashion and Digital Storytelling


AFW is where the newest trends hit the runway, but it’s also a playground for how brands tell their stories online. I’m excited to see how designers are using social media, video, and other digital tools to connect with their audience beyond just the clothes. It’s about that perfect mix of style and storytelling that really grabs attention.

2. How Aussie Brands Are Going Global


Australian fashion is killing it internationally right now, and I want to understand how these brands are positioning themselves to stand out on the world stage. What digital marketing moves are helping them expand overseas? Learning this stuff means we can help our clients think bigger and smarter about growth.

3. Sustainability That Actually Works


Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword anymore-it’s a must. I’m curious to see how brands are being real about their eco-friendly efforts and how they’re sharing that story without sounding like they’re just ticking boxes. Authenticity here is key, and it’s something we want to nail in our campaigns.

4. Tech and Digital Innovations


From live streams to AR try-ons, tech is changing how people experience fashion. I’m keen to check out the latest digital innovations at AFW and figure out how we can use them to create more engaging, interactive campaigns. The future of fashion marketing is definitely digital-first.

5. Meeting Cool People and Making Connections


One of the best things about AFW is the chance to meet designers, marketers, and creatives who are just as passionate about fashion and digital as we are. Building these relationships helps us stay ahead of the curve and opens doors for future collabs.

6. Fresh Inspiration for Our Campaigns


At the end of the day, being at AFW is about soaking up all the creative vibes. I’m looking forward to coming back with new ideas, fresh visuals, and a bunch of inspiration that will help Patch keep delivering standout campaigns for our clients.

Wrapping Up


Australian Fashion Week is going to be a huge source of inspiration and learning for us at Patch. We’re all about helping brands tell their story in a way that’s authentic, creative, and effective-and AFW is the perfect place to sharpen those skills.
