Fashionably Early

 • 

Fashionably early, fashionably late – when it comes to punctuality, the future of sustainable fashion is one thing we don’t want to see get left behind! Fashionably Early: Designing Australian Fashion Futures is lending a hand by creating a non-commercial space for emerging and established designers to reflect on our future. Encouraging diverse solutions to some of fashion’s biggest problems, the event premieres on August 8th at the Gallery of Australian Design, with events in Canberra through August and September. The Fashionably Early Forum on August 9 includes speakers from a wide variety of universities and institutions in Australia and New Zealand tackling everything from collaboration to zero waste, while A Fashion System for Tomorrow showcases some of our best up and coming designers (including previous Peppermint Loves talents Amy Taylor and Alice Sutton!). Tickets to Fashionably Early are on sale now.
