Barrel Jeans & Boots: The Exact Winter Pieces To Buy Now

Australian Fashion Week 2026 has wrapped up, and while the runway looks were spectacular, the real magic is how they’re about to transform your everyday wardrobe. This week, Leigh is joined by runway model, journalist and content creator Jessica Vander Leahy, who is delivering all the unfiltered, behind-the-scenes insights from Australian Fashion Week 2026 straight to the pod.

They're discussing the biggest trends on the runway, the best streetwear moments and the exact moment an everyday morning swimmer accidentally walked right into a live fashion show.

Plus, they're also getting real about dressing for a tough economy and how fashion shows like Australian Fashion Week can give us an insight into how we're dealing with the cost-of-living crisis as a Country. Finally, it’s time for Boujie to Budget, where they're debating the wild resurgence of horseshoe jeans and Leigh's $50 buy you need in your cart immediately.
