Fox in Flats MBFWA14

When dressing for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia, one must keep in mind the leggy models, the It Girls, the editors and buyers, the well-heeled bloggers and insta-celebs, designers and the one zillion street-style photographers buzzing about. Most of us would immediately reach for our favourite pair of sky-high heels – but for those in the know, it’s all about flats.
We’ve searched high and low for the foxiest of flat-sporting foxes in attendance and last week’s MBFWA and we think you’re in for a treat.
