MISS SL ♛ Australia 2020 1st Runway Challenge "Women Around the World" - The Issues facing women in Australia Today


Gender Equality in the Workplace has been a problem in Australia. 

One in every 10 young Australian women today are currently experiencing 
sexual harassment and gender equality issues in the workplace. As a result, 
women have been less assured than men in putting themselves forward to develop 
the confidence needed for more challenging job positions and promotions. 


Recent Australian focus group work studies have revealed many gaps and traps 
between young working women’s aspirations and that of their current work 
environment realities. Companies today are being made more aware 
of gender biases by enlisting positive methods to help right this wrong. 

With that awareness, greater strides are now made as a result of these focus groups 
to change the mindset - so that employers place greater value on employee’s 
attributes to ensure they don’t reward charisma over competence. 


As a result, gender-balanced management teams in the workplace are 
evolving in Australia producing higher performance overall while at 
once demonstrating the business benefits of gender equity. 

Although we still have a long road ahead of us, these positive business changes and 
evolving mindsets are slowly improving the workplace environments for women. 

For this 1st runway challenge, I was first inspired by the allure of 
minimalist, casual dressy and casual chic collections from Ann Taylor. 


I felt that this brand offered structured and easy to wear looking pieces 
which I would want to wear every day, while at once looking fiercely stylish. 

In keeping with the challenge requirement to utilize at least two colors 
derived from the Australian Flag, I am wearing a Zaara Isis Shirt in 
Midnight Blue and Blueberry Power Play Pants in Red. I topped off my outfit with 
a fabulous Gray White Virginia Mesh Wool Coat from Addams. 


To complete my look, I paired my outfit with Roxy Simplicity Handbag in Black, 
White/Gray Maitreya Low Sneakers, Shi Medusozoa Hair, Earthstone 
Love Always Earrings and a JFL Parisian Black/Blue Fedora Hat.
