Sydney got cold. The style got cosy. Australian Fashion Week 2026 took over our feeds last month, and EMU Australia was right there with it.
Outside the shows, Australia's favourite fashion influencers and content creators were spotted stepping out in EMU Australia’s fan-fave Sharky collection. Cold weather, front-row fashion, and zero compromises on style.
Suede bomber jackets. Oversized blazers. Timeless denim staples. EMU was the footwear to ground these street style trends of AFW26.
We've rounded up our favourite spotted moments from the week, because sometimes the best looks aren't on the runway at all.
Pre-Show Coffee Run
Crisp mornings before a day of Australian Fashion Week shows call for an iced coffee when you're this cosy in your EMUs. Spotted on @dominiqueobrien, the Higgie sheepskin boots were styled with a chocolate bomber jacket and cream wide leg pants for the ultimate street style moment. This micro sheepskin boot brings bold Aztec inspired stitching, plush Australian sheepskin and a durable sole, delivering the warmth, comfort and versatility that make it a winter footwear favourite.
AFW26 Front Row Style
Between runway shows and street style snaps, comfort is key. Spotted on @ellesechloe outside the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, the EMU Australia Sharky Adventure Scuff brought a cosy edge to her Australian Fashion Week 2026 look. Styled with an oversized blazer and paired with the EMU Australia Angahook Earmuffs, the outfit struck the perfect balance between fashion and function.
Crafted with premium Australian sheepskin and detailed with bold Aztec-inspired stitching, the Sharky Adventure Scuff delivers a distinctive silhouette, cosy enough for a Sydney winter day, yet stylish enough for the AFW26 front row. A head-turning, cold-weather-ready style that proves comfort and fashion week are made for each other.
After Dark Wrapped in Comfort
When the runway lights dim and the afterparty begins, true style doesn't clock off. @hannah.llouisee proved exactly that, stepping out in the EMU Australia Blurred Micro sheepskin boot as Sydney winter temperatures dropped and the evening called for something with serious warmth and edge.
Styled with a relaxed tailored suit, the Blurred Micro brought a modern, rugged finish to her Australian Fashion Week 2026 look. Thoughtful yet effortless, the pairing balanced refined tailoring with the natural luxury of premium Australian sheepskin, creating a look that felt both contemporary and timeless.
Perfect for long days that stretch into late nights, this fashion forward pairing embodies everything we love about winter style: premium comfort, understated confidence and timeless versatility.
From early morning coffee runs to front row moments and after dark celebrations, Australian Fashion Week 2026 proved that comfort and style are no longer mutually exclusive. Across the week, creators embraced winter dressing with confidence, pairing tailored silhouettes, statement outerwear and street style inspired looks with EMU Australia's premium sheepskin footwear.
Consider this your inspiration for embracing the season ahead, one cosy step at a time.
