Backstage coverage from Fashion Design Studio (FDS) during Australian Fashion Week 2025 in Sydney. Captured at the Overseas Passenger Terminal, the series extends beyond the traditional backstage setting — following models as they move out of the show environment and into a more open, image-driven space.
A continuation of the runway beyond the show. As the presentation concluded, models moved into the surrounding walkways — no longer in formation, but engaging directly with photographers. Positioned between Sydney Harbour and the historic fabric of The Rocks, the setting framed a shift from structured presentation to a more fluid, image-driven exchange.
