Big Fashion Sale: Bushfire & Climate Fundraiser

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 this December. And this time round, it's not just selling discounted fashion — it's also donating 100 percent of profits to help those affected by bushfires and raise awareness about the current climate crisis.

Which means you can shop big name Australian and international brands — including Kenzo, Alexander McQueen, Isabel Marant, Alexander Wang, Marni, Dries Van Noten, Nike, Romance Was Born, Studio Elke and Acler — and do it all for a good cause, with all your well-spent money going to Red Cross Australia and The Climate Council.

You won't be short on things to buy, either. You'll find thousands of lush items from past collections, samples and one-offs from over 50 designers, including the aforementioned and more.

With discounts of up to 80 percent off, this is one way to up your count of designer threads while leaving your bank balance sitting pretty, too. 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 9am–8pm Thursday, 9am–6pm Friday–Saturday and 10am–5pm Sunday.
