Episode Notes

Can a premiership player become a runway model overnight?

In this episode of No Utes in the Valet, the worlds of footy and fashion collide as Elliot Garnaut and Isaac Smith debate camera angles, Coachella culture and whether one retired AFL star has what it takes to walk at Australian Fashion Week.

From there, the boys move through the week in culture and sport:

• Justin Bieber spotted at Coachella wearing star-shaped pimple patches

• Australia’s sprint stars making headlines at the national championships

• Why athletes are becoming cultural figures beyond the field

Then comes the main event: Australian Fashion Week.

Elliot explains why this year’s setting at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia with Sydney Harbour as the backdrop is a major moment for the industry, before challenging Isaac to do the unthinkable: walk in a show.

What starts as a joke turns serious fast.

After an impromptu hallway catwalk and some surprisingly confident turns, Isaac receives a real-time invitation to attend a fitting for Christian Kimber.

Yes, seriously.

The episode also features a fiery round of Red Flag, Green Flag:

• Taking shoes off on planes

• Double dipping

• Wearing UGG boots in public

• Ordering coffee with milk and sugar

• Photobombing strangers

Plus:

• Isaac’s review of Nuremberg starring Russell Crowe and Rami Malek

• Whether Taylor Swift would ever headline an NFL game

• What modern umpire microphones have changed in the AFL

• Why some people are built for the runway… and some definitely aren’t

It’s fashion, footy and cultural carnage.

And by the end of the episode, one question remains:

Is Isaac Smith about to become the hottest ticket at Fashion Week?
