Top 5 Sydney designers to watch at RAFW

1. Therese Rawsthorne

It’s payback time. Rawsthorne will bring it to justify why she’s good enough to have ditched Issey Miyake and Oswald Boateng.

2. Dion Lee

After last year’s Fashion Week, Fashion blogger Godfrey Deeny as the “best designer on the planet.”

3. Alistair Trung

We're curious to see what the boundary and texture pushing Trung will do next.

4. Michael Lo Sordo

Design founded on effortless style is the principle here. Expect to see a lot of colourful prints, texture and exquisite drapery.

5. Mok Theorem

Sisters Grace and Gloria are trying something completely new. How well will their backgrounds in accounting and marketing translate into fashion?
