Shows ran from Monday through Friday, with 46 shows on the official Mercedes Benz-sponsored schedule. (Some of these featured the work of multiple designers, too.) An examination of runway photos posted at Australian Vogue's site vogue.com.au, style.com and the official MBFWA website reveals that, of those 46, only one runway show included a black model in their line-up. That "honor" goes to streetwear brand Vanishing Elephant.
This model closed Vanishing Elephant's show.
Of the 30 models walking, he's the only instance of non-white casting. I like his shirt.

One presentation also featured a black model.
Of the 17 looks showcased by Phoenix Keating for the coming spring season (remember, Australia's seasons are back-to-front like that), this model also stood as the solo mannequin of color.
