Anastasia Fai, the Founder of AFFA, was overwhelmed by the response from the Fashion and Film industries and the support from corporates:
“Six months ago, the concept to recognise the amazing talent in the Australian Fashion Film industry was just a dream. Today it was a reality. Celebrating the achievements of everyone involved in creating Australian Fashion Films was long overdue. The support tonight’s event received is a sure sign that AFFA will be celebrating Aussie talent for many years to come.” she said.
