Jamie Azzopardi: Influencer’s cringeworthy Australian Fashion Week arrival as they get three ‘minders’ to carry the train of their OTT dress into the event: ‘It is not the MET gala’

A Sydney-based stylist known for their extravagant outfit choices turned heads at Australian Fashion Week on Monday.

Jamie Azzopardi, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, was spotted strutting through Carriageworks in Sydney flanked by an entourage of minders meticulously carrying their extravagant outfit.

However, not everyone was impressed by the spectacle.

Watching from a distance, former Married At First Sight star Carolina Santos couldn’t resist throwing a shade  at Azzopardi’s elaborate arrival.

The reality TV star took to social media to mock the stylist quipping, ‘What the f**K is that? Does Jamie think [they] are at the MET Gala or something? Why are people holding [their] clothes?’

Australian Fashion Week has gone from one of the country’s most prestigious events to one flanked by reality stars, wannabes and micro-influencers.

Industry insiders have told Daily Mail Australia that this year’s designers are taking caution and want nothing to do with ‘fame hungry MAFS stars desperate to be seen at fashion week.’

Australian Fashion Week runs until Friday May 17.
