PULSE 2026 ⚡️
It takes months of planning and a whole village to bring a show like this to life.
From the designers, lecturers, models, hair and makeup teams, dressers, stylists, volunteers, backstage crew, front of house, set design, music, lighting, cameras and production — every single person brought their energy, talent and creativity to make PULSE what it was ✨
The talent within WA fashion is undeniable and it was incredible to see so many creative communities come together under one roof to celebrate emerging fashion and collaboration.
Styled by Robert Marshall and moi 🖤
Thank you to everyone involved, supported and showed up for PULSE 2026.
Still buzzing from the magic of it all.

PULSE 25 – what a year!
Huge congratulations to everyone involved 👏 Working alongside Robert Marshall on mentoring, styling, and collaborating for AGWA + the AGWA Design Store has been an absolute dream.
A big shout-out to the fashion institutions – SMT TAFE, NMT TAFE, Curtin, and ECU – and to the incredible lecturers and students who brought so much energy and passion to everything fashion.
Endless thanks to the creatives whose magic and mentoring made it all possible: Steph King, Vivens, Pauline McCabe, Rock Paper Scissors, and Manuao 💄✨
Here’s to collaboration, creativity, and the future of WA’s fashion industry — it’s so important to pass on our wisdom to the youth, but equally, the youth are vital for our future. 🙏

I love this pic because I’m in my happy place — the world of fashion.
There’s nothing like creating magic with my mates Rob Marshal and Chris Fox, and mentoring the next gen alongside the amazing TAFE and uni lecturers I grew up with — my fashion family.
This show was huge:
✨ 30+ designers from South Metro TAFE, North Metro TAFE, Curtin & ECU
✨ 25 models from @viviensmodelmgmt
✨ 25 volunteer dressers
✨ 10 apprentice hairdressers mentored by @rock_paper_scissors_hair
✨ 10 makeup students mentored by @manuaomakeup
Plus my styling assistants helping for the weeks before @noahpaget , Bianca and Winston
What I love most is seeing students have a go — creating, collaborating, and making fashion magic. ❤️
Big thanks to the photographers, videographers, TikTokers, music crew — and to @artgallerywa, the AGWA Design Store, and our amazing team for bringing fashion into the gallery. 🖤
As Vivienne Westwood said, “When in doubt, dress up.”
Fashion is fun. Always. 🎭✨

My beautiful friend, @aureliocostarella — you were Perth’s fashion gift to the world.
You paved the way for all of us in Western Australia.
We learned so much from your brilliant, creative mind.
Always supportive. Always inspiring. Our fashion warrior.
Thirty years of friendship — through Varga Girl, Costerella, buying trips, runway shows, window installations.
A lot of twist skirts sold at Varga Girl.
We watched the industry evolve together — from my pop-up shops featuring your amazing art, to our most recent collaboration: your exquisite scarves at the AGWA Design Store.
Ruby now wears my old Costerella pieces from 25 years ago — you loved hearing those stories.
And through it all, the thing I treasure most is your and Paul’s beautiful friendship, which I’ve always been lucky enough to be a part of.
You were by my side for everything I ever did in this industry.
My fashion brother. I love you.
May you rest in peace.
Vale, Aurelio Costerella. ❤️🙏
