Following last year’s hugely successful 30th anniversary edition, the 2025 Melbourne Fashion Week program enters a new era: expanding Melbourne’s creative, cultural, and commercial horizons with a focus on local designers, artists, and boutique businesses.
From 20–26 October, the festival will be celebrating bold self-expression with the theme Come As You Are — recognising the individuals, communities, and creative voices that shape Melbourne’s vibrant fashion scene.
