Brisbane Fashion Festival, Queensland’s premier fashion event, has announced its highly anticipated program for 2023. With an impressive lineup of local and national design talent, along with a range of exciting new events, this year’s festival promises to be a celebration of style and creativity.

In collaboration with the Brisbane Economic Development Agency, the festival will return to the vibrant King George Square in the heart of The City, running from Monday, August 21, to Friday, August 25. Over 50 designers, including the hottest labels in Australian fashion, Queensland favourites, and emerging design talent, will present a total of 460 unique and inspiring looks for the upcoming Spring/Summer season.

Festival Director Lindsay Bennett expressed his pride in presenting the program for the Brisbane Fashion Festival 2023, highlighting the importance of the event for the local fashion and retail scene. “Behind the beauty of the runway shows and events, the Fashion Festival is serious business,” said Bennett. “It promotes our local fashion industry, raises their profile, and boosts retail sales. As the first fashion event in Australia to launch new Spring/Summer collections, it cements Brisbane’s place on the fashion map and establishes Queensland as the ultimate destination for celebrating fashion.”

Brisbane’s Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner praised the festival as an opportunity to showcase the city’s burgeoning fashion credentials. He emphasized the positive impact the event has on residents, visitors, and the local economy. “Events like Brisbane Fashion Festival are an important part of our jam-packed annual calendar, which keeps making Brisbane better,” said Mayor Schrinner. “We can’t wait to see Brisbane come alive to celebrate fashion and design, with a flow-on effect to local retailers, bars, and restaurants, boosting our economy and supporting local jobs.”
