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 Emily Power is a long-time Emily Power Melbourne journalist, currently working for The Age. She has co-written/edited two fashion books - The Fashionista’s Guide to Shopping in Melbourne and Fashion & Flemington, which celebrated local design - and regularly commentates on fashion from a consumer perspective, including for ABC radio in Adelaide.
