The 2019 Australian Fashion Summit

In March 2019, the inaugural Australian Fashion Summit brought together global leaders, local trailblazers, and emerging fashion game changers to explore bold ideas and share insights into the future of the fashion industry. From discovering cutting-edge technology that will change the way consumers shop online, to new ways of engaging consumer audiences, to saving the planet through sustainable practices and redefining the ‘new normal’ in the fashion and beauty industry, the Summit delivered a lot to think about and provided attendees with the knowledge and new connections to walk away as champions of better. The Summit wouldn’t have been possible without the support of it’s partners: Virgin Australia, Visit Victoria, AMP Capital, PwC Australia, RMIT University, Australian Fashion Council and Federation Square.
