More than 80 designer brands across Australia and internationally will feature at Splash Sydney during AFC Australian Fashion Week next week.
Splash Sydney is an inaugural fashion trade show, which originated in Paris. Headline brands for the Splash event include Carla Zampatti, ESSE, Joseph & James, Ngali and Kivari.
The Splash programming takes place over four days and in two locations. On May 12 and 13, the event will open an industry-only trade showroom at Walsh Bay Arts Precinct presenting over 70 swim, resort and lifestyle brands. Then, on May 14 and 15, the ‘Advanced Designer’ edition will feature at Carriageworks with a focus on contemporary and high end apparel and accessories brands.
Other notable participants in the event include Bond-Eye Swim, Ilio Nema, Madre Natura alongside State of Escape accessories and Sol Sana footwear.
Emerging designers on the list include Diana Klisaris, Mastani, Friend of Audrey and Golden Hour.
There has also been a strong interest from international brands looking to establish themselves in the Australian Market, including Co.B, Modalita, OneOne Swim, Perfect White Tee and Bahia Maria among others.
After announcing plans last year to host an event around May 2025, Splash has since partnered with AFC Australian Fashion Week.
Registration for buyers and industry to attend is currently open on the Splash Sydney website.
