Fashion 360 Showcase

Throw on your best threads and join us for a day celebrating some of Australia's breakout designers.

QUT Creative Enterprise Australia (CEA) invites you to our annual showcase and business pitch, Fashion360. Watch emerging Australian entrepreneurs debut on the runway and present to a panel of industry experts in front of leaders in the fashion industry, entrepreneurs, retailers, media, and peers.

Following the showcase, you’ll have the chance to mingle and make connections with fellow guests before being seated for a ‘fireside chat.’ Leading this will be panellists overseen by Kellie Hush from Harper's BAZAAR, who will be discussing the future of the Australian fashion industry with specific reference to:

• Technology and its impact on fashion authenticity and culture
• Circular fashion versus fast fashion
• The new face of retail
• Identity and influence in fashion

This will include engagement with the audience in the form of questions and answers.

The day will conclude with a celebration where drinks and canapes will be served, allowing the fashion and industry influencers to discuss opportunities for the sector, socialise with up-and-coming entrepreneurs, and drive industry engagement.

The panel of experts include:

• Kellie Hush (Editor-in-Chief of Harper's BAZAAR)
• Elizabeth Renkert (Co-founder and Director of We Are Kindred)
• Jonathan Ward (Designer of Jonathan Ward)
• Akira Isogawa (Designer of Akira)
