The floral instalments have been dismantled from last night’s Romance Was Born show, the last of the bobby pins have been pulled from models walking for Akira and the Etihad luggage tag embossing machine has been safely stored for its next fashion destination.

A global partnership with IMG – which includes involvement in 17 flagship fashion events around the world – Etihad Airways’s #RunwayToRunway loyalty program supports frequent fashion travellers (read: models, designers, influencers and brands) reach the likes of New York, London, Milan and Mumbai. Members are eligible for special rate airfares, airport lounge access, complimentary upgrades, priority boarding and check-in, additional checked baggage and preferred cargo and group travel for those travelling with photography equipment or showing collections internationally. Find out more here.

And so while Carriageworks – the mecca of eclectic characters both on and off the runway – may now be ghost town, it’s onto the next city. Donny Galella spoke to show-goers one last time and reflected on the week’s highlights. Cc Dion Lee, Zhivago, Hansen and Gretel.
