Fashion Show
Style + Fashion + Ethics
This year we showcase sustainable and ethical fashion
designs on the main stage of Federation Square in a
series of six shows over the festival weekend.
The Fair Fashion Show gathers all fashion lovers to
show some colourful sustainable fashion, naturally
beautiful fabrics, stylish ethical designs and the
beauty and value of recycled and vintage
clothing. Featuring Australia’s ethical and sustainable fashion designers alongside with the
talent of young emerging fashion students
and the beauty and value of recycled and
vintage garments, it gives a strong insight to
the fabulous world of eco-ethical fashion.
A Melbourne-based fashion, retail and
property journalist and the author/editor
of Fashionista’s Guide to Shopping in
Melbourne, Emily Power will guide you
through the fabulous series of fashion
shows and will be our official host and
ambassador for Fair Fashion Show
2014. Special thanks to hair directors
