Dazed Digital partners with Mercedes-Benz to showcase the work of exciting fashion designers globally, from Australian, German, South African, Mexican, Russian and Chinese fashion weeks.

Edited by Dazed Group's Fashion Director, Cathy Edwards, we begin the series by focusing on the talent of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia – designers Romance Was Born, Jenny Kee and six graduates from the respected course at TAFE Sydney: Carlie Waterman, Stephanie Goerlach, Cynthia Thai, Yuliy Gershinsky, Christopher Baldwin, and Kaylene Milner, showing as 'The Innovators'.

From the Marvel Comics print-heavy pop of Romance Was Born to Jenny Kee's signature vibrant exotics and The Innovators' group show of progressive knitwear, disciplined sportswear and embellishment, things are heating up in Sydney.
