The full schedule for Afterpay Australian Fashion Week 2021 has been released! This year’s event will be the delayed 25th anniversary showcase.
Afterpay Australian Fashion Week 2021 is set to run from May 31 until June 4.
While some shows will be held in off-site spaces, Sydney’s Carriageworks will remain as the main location for the event. This year, AAFW has decided to waive designer fees, which have previously acted as barriers for smaller designers. Additionally, selected parts of the event will now be open to the public. In past years, only industry professionals, media, organisers, buyers and models were permitted access.
