Australian Fashion Industry, Stars Rally Behind Bushfire Relief Efforts

SYDNEY — The Australian entertainment and fashion industries are rallying behind relief efforts for the Australian bushfire crisis, which has garnered global attention in recent weeks.

Since August, bushfires have burned through more than six million hectares [14.8 million acres] across Australia, claiming the lives of at least 24 people. More than 1,500 houses have been lost and, according to ecologists at the University of Sydney, nearly half a billion animals have perished in the state of NSW alone.
