There were a few absentees this Sydney Fashion Week. Dion Lee, one of Australia’s most promising young designers declined, perhaps because he just had a successful presentation in London? (That...

I had googlemapped her house very carefully and ahead of time. I had sussed out the trains I was meant to take and the direction I was supposed to walk in, A to Z map clutched to my chest. I figured ...
