Mercedes-Benz Sydney Fashion Festival
August 23-27

The Sydney Fashion Festival features ticketed fashion events for the public, showcasing Australia’s leading designer brands and retailers as their Spring/Summer collections arrive in stores throughout the city. The main fashion shows are held in the Sydney Town Hall and are accompanied by a satellite schedule of fashion and lifestyle events that span the city. The Rosemount Australian Fashion Week is Australia’s most globally-followed fashion event but, like the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival, the Mercedes-Benz Sydney Festival is popular with the locals as it is open to the public. – Yahoonews
