The Sydney Fair is back at The Royal Randwick Racecourse. From 28 July 2022 collectors, art and history enthusiasts, fashionistas and stylists come together to offer up vintage goods, collectables and specialist advice.
The world-renowned Sydney Fair returns from Thursday 28 July to Sunday 31 July in 2022. All pieces are available to purchase if something shiny catches your eye. However, for people who would rather take in the atmosphere, all pieces will be on display before any purchases are made.
Bringing The Kensington Room at Royal Randwick alive, the fair will transform it into a treasure trove of the most desirable and collectable pieces of Antique, Art Deco, Vintage and Contemporary pieces in Australia. The Sydney Fair will be full of experts and dealers, specialists in jewellery, furniture, fine art, fashion and collectables, sharing advice, knowledge and passion for their field of speciality.
Australian Heritage Design
Also, for fashion lovers, Fashion Anthropologist Tom McEvoy is attending. As well as Vintage Stylist and Researcher Lili Chen. Both are sharing their knowledge of Australian fashion Designers popular in the 20th Century. The special appearances come as a free presentation to attendees. In addition, visitors will also experience a catwalk show highlighting Fashion Revolutions through the 20th Century.
The Fashion Revolutions show includes rare and unique Australian pieces from the swinging 60s and iconic 20th-century designs. The pieces will be on display for the entire three-day fair.
