A Sydney stylist has reacted after criticism over his “extravagant” entrance at Australian Fashion Week.
Jamie Azzopardi, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, strutted around Carriageworks in Sydney on Monday flanked by an entourage of caretakers tending to her extravagant dress.
However, not everyone was impressed by the spectacle.
Married At First Sight star Carolina Santos did not hold back in her criticism of Azzopardi’s big arrival.
The reality TV star took to social media to mock the stylist and joke: ‘What the fuck is that?’ Does Jamie think they’re at the Met Gala or something? Why do people hold (their) clothes?’

Jamie responded to Carolina’s scathing remark on Tuesday with brutal candor.
‘They are not my “caretakers”, they are assistants and they are AMAZING at their job, they help me make sure I look meticulous and put together even when I have to create over-the-top looks, like this one so everyone can enjoy the fashion statements they deserve! FASHION WEEK!’ Jamie wrote on Instagram stories.
Azzopardi added that the dress was worn to respect the designer and avoid being dragged across a semi-wet floor.
‘I know you want to stand out at the front of fashion week and pretend you’re going to shows, but we all understand that designers, after your stunt last year, don’t want you near them, so if your goal is to sit down’ “If you come forward and publicly make uneducated opinions about how others choose to live, then my advice is to get a better hobby,” they continued.
To add further spice to the saga, the stylist revealed a direct message they received from Carolina, seeking last-minute styling help ahead of last year’s Australian Fashion Week.
“Caroline didn’t seem to have a problem with my big outfits when she begged me to dress her the day before fashion week last year,” Azzopardi wrote.

Azzopardi’s ‘caretakers’ were seen constantly adjusting every detail of her outfit, making sure not a single fold was out of place as photographers took pictures.
Australian Fashion Week has gone from being one of the country’s most prestigious events to being flanked by reality stars, wannabes and micro-influencers.
Industry insiders have told Daily Mail Australia that this year’s designers are taking precautions and want nothing to do with “fame-hungry MAFS stars desperate to be seen at fashion week”.
