What's in it for the Designers?

This is an event that allows the talented and innovative fashion designers in our region to gain exposure in the marketplace and also gain valuable experience in a competitive arena.

Our aim is to produce the best Fashion Design Event outside capital cities, so that not only will designers be provided with a vehicle to prepare for larger events, but our event will also draw a wide and competitive field that will ultimately improve skills, ideas and provide invaluable networking opportunities.
