Australia’s Fashion & Design sourcing event, The Design Gallery, is back this August at Carriageworks, Sydney, for two vibrant days of curated innovation, future-forward thinking, and industry connection. At the heart of this year’s event are the pillars shaping tomorrow’s fashion landscape — Sustainability, Design, and Innovation.
The Design Gallery provides a space for the industry to regroup, rethink, and realign. With increased demand for ethical production, circular design, and technology-led solutions, this event is a timely intersection of vision, practicality, and community.
Launching for the first time in 2025 is The Forum, TDG’s official live talk series — where attendees can hear directly from the changemakers driving new models of creation, consumption, and circularity. Expect bold ideas, real conversations, and tangible solutions from an exciting lineup of speakers including:
Courtney Holm – Founder, Circular Sourcing
Anthony Chesler – CEO, Thread Together
Anupama Fernando - Director Customer Success, Browzwear
Sharna Raine - Digital Sampling Specialist, CLO Virtual Fashion
Kirby Hanrahan – Head of Design, Witchery
Patricia Lynch – Founder, Greenkive
Danielle Atkins – Founder, Kulani Kinis
Detlev Pross - Chief Strategy Officer, Coloro
Also featured in The Forum is a special user x client conversation between global 3D pioneers CLO Virtual Fashion and iconic Australian label Camilla, offering an inside look at how the platform is transforming digital print sampling and collaboration at scale.
Meet our Forum moderator, Kate Honey — strategic advisor and creative powerhouse, guiding the conversation with insight, clarity, and vision. This is your chance to connect with the minds shaping tomorrow’s fashion landscape.
Join us from 12pm–2pm daily for The Forum’s live talks.
