CULTURAL FUSION FUELS PASSION FOR FASHION

Afusion of Australian, Italian and Indigenous Australian culture delivered by a diverse array of designers and models will fuel your passion for fashion at the Australian Italian Festival Fashion Show on Friday, 2 June 2023, at TYTO Precinct.

The exciting showcase of existing and emerging fashion designers, bespoke microbusinesses and local fashion houses will take North Queensland by storm as organisers prepare to unveil a fresh, new format at this year’s extravaganza.

Living mannequins, a focus on accessories, brand new categories, and a more engaging and immersive experience are just some of the innovative features the Event Coordinator Sharyn Parker says will make the 2023 Fashion show “a night to remember”.

“We have assembled a team of organisers this year who are passionate about creating a contemporary event that celebrates diversity and inclusion,” said Mrs Parker.

“From the designers and fashion houses through to the models, layout and even the food, we have worked really hard on cultivating an experience that leaves a lasting impression on the audience”, she said.

“The high-end fashion and formal wear will definitely appeal to the ladies. But adding “Tradie Wear” and striking fishing shirts in our casual wear category will provide something for the men. So, this year’s program will definitely have something for everyone”.

The impressive line-up will include labels such as Pipsilk, R Mahony Design, 1 Step ART and Balgarra Designs, and members of the audience will also be captivated by this season’s latest fashion from the local boutiques such as I Love, Lisa Maree, Bossi Boots and Friends of the Wild.

The living mannequin component will feature jewellery and accessories in an accessible format that allows the audience to interact with the designers and models. At the same time, the ‘One Outfit, Two Different Ways” will demonstrate the versatility of fashion staples like the little black dress and the classic pantsuit.
