Overview
Rolling around for another year, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week hits Sydney in 2016 with a twist. Pushing the event back to a start date of May 15 (instead of its usual early April slot), this is the first fashion week worldwide to present the resort season exclusively. For designers, MBFW16 provides the opportunity to reach retailers and industry leaders at a global scale. For you, it means five days of killer fashion from 55 of the best local and international brands around.
Style-conscious crowds are set to hit Eveleigh's Carriageworks from Sunday for this week-long festival of runway shows, presentations and key industry events. Opening with an evening showcase of Maticevski's chic feminine frocks, this year's lineup includes the likes of Dion Lee, TOME, Emma Mulholland, Aje, DI$COUNT UNIVERSE and — the big one — Oscar de la Renta (just to name a few).
From Monday to Wednesday there will be a focus on ready-to-wear pieces, before moving on to Thursday's swim and activewear showcase. Wrapping up with some of the best emerging designers on Friday, MBFW16 brings Sydneysiders a banging schedule of unmissable fashion.
So Fashion Week can be a little hard to get into. Luckily there's a Weekend Edition for the public, jam-packed with exclusive runway shows, masterclasses, panels and Champagne brunching.
