Donald John Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States yesterday.
As the election count raced towards a Trump presidency, Australian shares plummeted with the the dollar falling 1.5%.
Industry analysts also expressed concerns over the future of trade agreements, including the proposed Trans Pacific Partnership involving Australia.
This is how Australian fashion industry figureheads reacted.
This is an international day of mourning. A minute's silence for a century of social regression, please.
