Sydney Influencer Suzan Mutesi Stirs Controversy at Australian Fashion Week with Unconventional Choices
Sydney-based influencer Suzan Mutesi, 36, drew significant attention at Australian Fashion Week on Wednesday at Sydney's Carriageworks. Mutesi arrived wearing an outfit composed of two towels, mirroring a similar look worn by singer Doja Cat at the 2024 Met Gala. Photos captured Mutesi, who has been accused of purchasing a substantial portion of her 1.2 million Instagram followers, appearing uncomfortable in black heels while managing her towel ensemble.
Upon noticing a photographer, Mutesi posed for an impromptu photo shoot in the middle of the gravel car park. The towel ensemble was completed with a bondage-style choker, futuristic sunglasses, black leather gloves, and a matching teddy bear-shaped handbag.
This appearance follows her attendance at Fashion Week a day prior, where she carried an unusual dried-out pumpkin instead of a handbag and wore a green printed gown with plastic yellow boots, neon pink sunglasses, and an African basket as a hat.
Mutesi's presence at the event has been questioned by insiders, suggesting she has been faking attendance at shows due to a lack of invitations. A source claimed she was primarily at Carriageworks to be photographed and had only attended a few shows.
Her grey Mazda, the same vehicle that broke down at Carriageworks during last year's Fashion Week, also made an appearance, adding to the spectacle.
