About this Event
About WIF
|| Women in Fashion ||Together, we are stronger.
One of Brisbane’s most anticipated fashion events returns — bigger than ever.
Founded in 2020, Women in Fashion (WIF) was created to build a supportive community where women across the fashion industry can connect, collaborate, and celebrate one another.
After five consecutive sold-out events, WIF continues to grow each year. What began as a small Brisbane gathering has evolved into a highly anticipated fashion industry event, bringing together designers, entrepreneurs, creatives, media personalities, influencers, and emerging talent.
As we enter our sixth year, Women in Fashion is expanding beyond Brisbane — growing into a national platform with events in Brisbane and Melbourne, with exciting global expansion ahead.
In 2026, we will welcome 400 distinguished guests to celebrate creativity, leadership, and the future of fashion.
Each year, the event proudly supports a charity partner dedicated to empowering women. In 2026, Women in Fashion will support the Lady Musgrave Trust, an organisation that assists women and children experiencing homelessness and domestic violence.
