Australia's only dedicated fashion trade show will launch an unprecedented first this year.
Fashion Exposed will take place at a new purpose-built exhibition hall at the Sydney Showground from August 16 to 18.
As part of the event this year, Fashion Exposed will host an Open Day for emerging fashion businesses and students.
The day will provide free support and advice for emerging traders, as well as allowing them to access the main fair ground.
It will also feature a discussion panel with speakers from Small Biz NSW, Launch Initiative and Australian Business Network.
Fashion Exposed exhibition director Elissa Duke said the show will also launch visual merchandising demonstrations for boutique owners.
“We always aim to be at the forefront of innovation when it comes to feature areas at the show and the August event in Sydney will not disappoint.
"Open Day is a new initiative to give start up retailers and designers, along with aspiring students, not only first-hand experience at a trade show but to also gain inside knowledge from industry experts."
Fashion Exposed is a three-day event which hosts 1000s of buyers, retailers and wholesalers.
