Fashion Week is back, with surprise faces from the past
In fashion, everything old is new again. While Australian Fashion Week waits for a permanent sponsor, an old hand has returned to steer it back to glory.
After a tumultuous month, Australian Fashion Week is back – for 2025, at least – with fresh funding from Destination NSW and a steering committee that includes the event’s original founder, Simon Lock.
On Sunday, NSW Jobs and Tourism Minister John Graham said the state government would fund the May 2025 event. He said Fashion Week was “an essential showcase of one of our largest creative industries, highlighting the depth of talent not only in NSW but throughout Australia.” The value of the funding was not disclosed.
