In the snaps obtained by Page Six, he was all smiles while on the runway. He made several appearances on the show. His first outfit included a teal corduroy suit by Godwin and a plain white turtleneck under a double-breasted blazer, which he completed with a pair of ivory sneakers.
He also rocked a preppy look by Tomba featuring a black blazer, waistcoat worn over a white dress shirt, white bowtie and cardigan wrapped around his shoulders. He paired the outfit with white slacks and black shoes and accessorized with think-frame glasses with a yellow hint.

His sighting at the fashion festival comes weeks after his split from Rorie Buckey. The former couple released a joint statement announcing their breakup after two years of dating.
"We wanted to share that we have decided to go our separate ways but profoundly appreciate all the time spent together and wish one another all the very best into the future," read the statement obtained by Page Six. "We wish to express the gratitude and respect we have for one another as we continue our journeys on different paths."

The exes didn't want to discuss the details of their separation, saying they won't be making further comments. They also encouraged fans to stop inquiring about the issue, noting that they would "really appreciate" if they would respect their privacy.
The son of the late "Crocodile Hunter" star and Buckey, who is the daughter of Heath Ledger's sister Kate Ledger, first sparked romantic rumors in November 2022 when they were photographed on a beach in Queensland, Australia. A month later, she joined his 19th birthday celebration with his mom, Terri Irwin, at their family's Australia Zoo, E! News reported.

In July 2023, the pair made their red carpet debut at the Australian premiere of "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One" in matching all-black outfits. A month later, they made their romance Instagram official when Irwin shared their first photo as a couple. He captioned it with flower and sun emojis.
