With Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week just a little over a week away, the anticipated schedule has finally been released.
MBFWA will be featuring Resort 2020 collections from our most prominent Australian designers. The coveted event will see the return of many familiar faces and will welcome international labels and a cast of emerging talent.
A handful of designers will be showing at MBFW for the very first time while many others will be celebrating some milestones. TAFE NSW Design School will be celebrating 21 years of showing at MBFWA, Tigerlily returns after 17 years away from the show and Lee Mathews will be celebrating 20 years in the business and Alice McCall with 15.
