CHANGE, INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY CELEBRATED AT AUSTRALIAN FASHION LAUREATE

Sydney-based Dinosaur Designs this week received the prestigious Australian Fashion Laureate Lifetime Achievement title at the 2020 award ceremony, joining industry icons designer Carla Zampatti and Vogue Australia editor-in-chief Edwina McCann on the honour roll.

The Australian Fashion Laureate – an initiative created by IMG and Destination NSW - celebrates the country’s fashion innovators, leaders and changemakers.

This year, one of unprecedented disruption to the fashion industry, the 2020 Australian Fashion Laureate focused on the resilience, creativity and agility displayed by Australian designers and fashion industry creatives.

Award categories and recipients included 2020 Change and Innovation (Nobody Denim, Showroom-X, Gorman and Fella Hamilton); Sustainable Innovation, newly presented across both emerging designers (A.BCH) and established designers (Nobody Denim); Best Australian Emerging Designer (Esse Studios); and People’s Choice (Macgraw). The Lifetime Achievement Award recognised longstanding and meaningful impact on the Australian fashion industry overall.

Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the 2020 awards marked an important step forward for Sydney and the country’s creative industries.

“These awards recognise innovation, resilience and determination to succeed - which is how Sydney and NSW has responded to the health pandemic by keeping our economy moving and showing that the Harbour City is a safe and desirable place to visit and do business.”
