PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival is Australia's largest fashion event. We exist to profile and amplify Australian and International creative talent, both locally and globally, by embracing fashion in all its forms to inspire consumers, support retailers and maximise benefits to our stakeholders. Established in 1997, the event stimulates and celebrates the Australian fashion industry whilst providing employment, networking and professional development opportunities for fashion, beauty, design, creative, marketing and retail industry professionals. A true feast for the senses, every March the Festival presents the most stylish Fashion, Arts and Ideas program on offer including world-class runway shows featuring Australia’s established and emerging designers, state-of-the-art production, Shop The Runway® experiences, beauty workshops, entertainment and much more. The Festival also offers premium tailored corporate entertainment packages and exclusive sponsorship opportunities that include unique experiential marketing and brand touch platforms.
