It is the undisputed home of Australian style, and on August 15 Sydney’s The Strand Arcade will open its doors for an evening with its celebrated homegrown designers, including Akira Isogawa, Edwina Forest of Aje and Genevieve and Alexandra Smart of Ginger & Smart.

In a nod to the historical shopping destination’s numerous cafes, the annual soiree is this year themed Espresso Martini with our Designers. Now in its 19th year, it will feature a discussion with Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences curators Glynis Jones and Roger Leong.
