Discover fashion at its best
Sydney-siders are invited to discover new designers amongst the fashion elite at Canberra’s premier FASHFEST event. Running over three massive nights from 29 September to 1 October, this is the ultimate opportunity to get ahead of the trends.
In 2016, FASHFEST will showcase more than 40 designers from Sydney to Mumbai, ensuring you get the full spectrum of trends and styles from all over the globe.
Sydney label Eder by Anna will be gracing the runway on the closing night on Saturday 1 October. Eder by Anna’s signature style is a mix of sophisticated, sport lux, tailored pieces in bold and sophisticated colours with a decidedly French aesthetic. It’s latest collection flirts with the line between femininity and masculinity. It also twists the use of conventional and traditional fabrics to the delight of fans.
