Closing the show will be all-time favourite Romance Was Born, with what is likely going to be a show to remember. QT Sydney is thrilled to be hosting the official exclusive Romance Was Born after party in the Gilt Lounge after the closing show.

Also on the show list is darling of the Aussie fashion world Alice McCall, veteran favourite Akira, couture king Steven Khalil, Ginger & Smart and many more.

Other shows of note include Garrett Neff’s brand Katama, who will show their first runway show outside of the US, and Sass & Bide who are returning to MBFWA after a 14-year hiatus.
