New footy WAG Mattie Gouman has known nothing but fun since February when she started dating Carlton’s Harry McKay.
A self-confessed accidental fashion influencer, Gouman has loved her introduction into the AFL world.
“I didn’t even watch footy much, I’d been to one or two games,’’ Gouman said.
“Now I’m understanding it and it’s so nice to be by Harry’s side supporting him. It’s been really fun, I’ve learnt so much and I honestly had no idea about it.
“I’ve got my own thing and it’s nice to have Harry supporting me too.”
Gouman and McKay made their public debut at the Brownlow Medal and just returned from an Italy holiday.
She’s attending Saturday night’s Melbourne Fashion Week show, Refined Edit Runway, at Melbourne Town Hall, featuring Australian brands such as Clea (which Gouman wears), Bianca Spender, Mariam Seddiq and Ngali all paying homage to structured tailoring, opulent details and classic silhouettes.
“I genuinely call my world a happy accident in the best way possible because I had no intention of becoming an influencer,’’ Gouman said.
“I worked in social media/marketing and had no idea this was even a job. So it’s nice to do something I love and experiment in fashion. My mum is my biggest inspiration and I wanted to be like her.”
Elsewhere at Melbourne Fashion Week the 10th birthday of Emporium Melbourne was celebrated with a house party featuring high fashion, oysters and cocktails on Thursday night.
The iconic Little Bourke Street Laneway was beaming with two runway shows reflecting the past, present and future of fashion.
The runway showcased a range of international and homegrown designers including Et Al Australia, Aje, Rebecca Vallance, Oroton, Maje, MJ Bale, and more.
