Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Sydney 2012

Overview

So your invites to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia got lost in the mail this year? Don't fret too much, unless one of your favourite things to do is stand in a long line getting high on complimentary San Pellegrino Aranciata. More orderly is Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Sydney. The successive sister event is "your ticket to the trends", which means that the focus is on pretty clothes rather than finding whoever stole your second-row goodie bag and fighting them to the death.

MBFF's main ambition is to showcase the Spring/Summer collections of our big-name designers and hyped newcomers to the general public. The key 'Trends' show itself offers a Marie Claire-edited wrap-up of MBFWA's runway highlights, with Ksubi’s denim-on-denim spectacular and Akira’s contemporary-Oriental prints appearing alongside visual snippets from emerging talent like Christopher Esber and Bless'ed Are the Meek.

Big ticket holders will be invited behind the red rope for post-show drinks and canapes, and with satellite events ranging from a 'Fashion on Film' night by Portable to styling sessions at Warringah Mall, there will be plenty more to keep you on your well-shod toes.
