Big Fashion Sale 2020

Overview

If seasonal change has left you in a dizzy headspin of new colours and fabrics and prints and jackets — or if, y'know, you just like some fancy new clothes now and then — you'll be pretty pleased to know that the Big Fashion Sale is coming back to Paddington Town Hall for four days between Thursday, March 12–Sunday, March 15.

The name pretty much says it all. This thing is big. You'll find thousands of lush items from past collections, samples and one-offs from over 50 cult Australian and international designers, both well-known and emerging, including Romance Was Born, Isabel Marant, Alexander McQueen, The Row, Kenzo, Anna Quan, Stella McCartney, Dries Van Noten and more.

With discounts of up to 80 percent off, this is one way to up your count of designer while leaving your bank balance sitting pretty, too — whether you're keen on clothes, shoes, swimwear or accessories. The March event will also feature an expanded focus on pre-loved items, if you're eager to both take home some new threads and be sustainable.

Prices this low tend to inspire a certain level of ruthlessness in all of us, though, so practise that grabbing reflex in advance. This is every shopper for themselves.

The Big Fashion Sale will be open Thursday 9am–7pm, Friday–Saturday 9am–6pm and Sunday 10am–5pm.
