There are a number of events the public can go to at the Adelaide Fashion Festival, including runways, lunches, masterclasses and retail activations. Showcasing our wonderful innovative South Australian design and style, the festival will run from October 17 – 21.
SA should also be very proud of the fact that a number of our designers are now highly regarded nationally and internationally. Like adored and internationally revered couture brand Paolo Sebastian who will open AFF for the first time in a spectacular collaboration with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Showcasing the autumn/winter 2018-19 couture collection, The Nutcracker, that was recently launched in Paris, the ASO will perform the well-loved Tchaicovsky score live on the runway.
This year’s event also features ready-to-wear designers, a bridal-focused couture runway, an ethical and sustainable fashion presentation bringing new life to vintage and ‘dead’stock and TAFE SA designs joining the night program.
There will be several brands making their AFF debut – and bring new genres of apparel into the mix – including Ryderwear athleisure, menswear brands Romp Squad and Vacay Swimwear, Rogers Underwear, Atelier Milano, Georgy Collection, Harvey the Label and Mimi-Jane Millinery.
The festival really showcases craftsmanship, vision and innovation and creates local jobs and whenever Adelaide designs are seen on celebrities, runways or in showrooms overseas and interstate it pushes the SA brand as a creative hub even further.
Following an incredibly successful debut in 2017 Vogue Festival will return to Adelaide during AFF, bringing two days of high-energy retail activity to Rundle Mall, Rundle Street and the city’s East End on October 19 and 20.
