RAFW launch Frockstars at Powerhouse Museum

As a lead up to our 15th Fashion Week in Sydney, Frockstars opened last night at The Powerhouse Museum. This fantastic exhibition will take you behind the scenes to Australian Fashion Week. You can experience the shows, the set and the scene. Relax in the VIP lounge, watch footage from past and present collections, see some of the best outfits from the past 15 years, plus exclusive interviews with designers, models and industry insiders!

From backstage to front row, you’ll get an insight into what (sometimes crazy) things happen behind the scenes at this major event and the roles and experiences of selected people working inside Australian Fashion Week; from buyers, media and models to designers, volunteers and producers. Explore the creative process of putting together a collection, in a recreation of the studio of fashion designer Nicola Finetti.

A centrepiece in the exhibition will be a catwalk showcasing fifteen key Australian Fashion Week outfits drawn from the first shows in 1996 to the present. Australian Fashion Week was established in 1996 by PR and marketing consultant Simon Lock and his business Australian Fashion Innovators, with the ambitious plan of placing Sydney on the global fashion map.

This years RAFW schedule was also released yesterday, so Sydney’s fashion pack will be planning what to see and what to wear, and of course which parties to go to!
