Get ready for a fashion extravaganza! Queensland’s premier fashion event, the Brisbane Fashion Festival, is returning in 2024 with a promise to be bigger, bolder, and brighter than ever before. Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 25th to Friday, August 30th, because this six-day celebration of style is not to be missed.
The 17th edition of the Festival will take place in the heart of Brisbane City, at the iconic King George Square and City Hall. With an expanded program featuring new and exciting events, the Festival expects to welcome over 4,000 fashion enthusiasts throughout the week.
Brisbane Fashion Festival Director, Mr. Lindsay Bennett, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming event. “The Festival provides a world-class platform to celebrate Queensland’s thriving fashion scene,” he said. “Each year, we showcase the best local designers and retailers, alongside rising stars and established names in Australian fashion. It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect our creative talents with industry insiders, media, and most importantly, a passionate audience of fashion lovers.”
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner echoed Mr. Bennett’s sentiment, welcoming the Festival’s return for its 17th year. “This spectacular event shines a spotlight on local and national talent, while nurturing the next generation of Brisbane designers,” Cr. Schrinner remarked. “With over 4,000 attendees expected, the Festival has a positive impact on local businesses, shopping precincts, and hospitality venues, ultimately contributing to the city’s economy and job creation.”
Building on the success of the 2023 event, the 2024 edition promises a jam-packed program spread over six days. Expect to see a wider range of events, a greater number of participating designers and retailers, and a celebration of Brisbane’s iconic landmarks intertwined with the world of fashion.
One thing that remains constant at the Brisbane Fashion Festival is its dedication to promoting Queensland fashion. The Festival will once again showcase an exceptional lineup of designers, from established names to exciting new talents and cult favorites. This creates a fresh, creative, and inspiring atmosphere to celebrate the launch of the new Spring/Summer collections.
