Aidan Ouma-Machio & Rebecca Hong Take Us BTS at Alix Higgins

Gadigal Land

— May 14, 2026 —

If you weren't at China Heights on Tuesday night, we're sorry, it was a really good time. Packed out, full of good people, and buzzing before a single look even hit the runway.

Alix Higgin's latest collection, 'An Opening Voluntary', brought digitally printed designs, cool polos and details your Nana would be excited for (fabric rosettes and delicate hats to list a few) to one of the most anticipated nights of Australian Fashion Week. We were excited. So excited infact, we couldn't send just one person, so we sent two. Aidan Ouma-Machio and Rebecca Hong headed backstage armed with cameras and a VHS, and tbh, They nailed the brief. See it all for yourself above.

We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation as the traditional owners of the land on which Australian Fashion Week takes place.
