In addition to exposure to potential stockists and international visitors, a panel of fashion industry experts will judge the finalists with winners securing a space in the Fair the following season.
 Since its inception in March 2004, the co-located designer Fair preview has become a destination for high-end boutique and department store buyers. With up to the minute styling and chic white surrounds, preview is a one-stop shop for some of the finest fashion labels available in Australasia today. In addition to cutting edge labels for men and women, organisers have identified a need for high-end Childrenswear labels to sit within this category and as a result, this season, preview junior will be launched. An exclusive buying event, preview junior will be an equally essential part of the buying calendar for those seeking high-end and emerging Australian and international children’s labels.
Also at preview, in a first for Australia, a stunning display of Belgian fashion will mark the launch of preview’s International Designer Showcase. Each season, a designated country will be showcased at Australia’s largest fashion Fair through a display in the exhibition area and an exciting runway show.
Ten leading fashion houses from the country renowned for cutting-edge design will present their collections on Australian soil for the first time, with an exclusive runway show scheduled to take place on Monday 12 March. Leading the Belgians in the show will be Brussels-based icon Kaat Tilley and 29-year-old Antwerp wunderkind Tim Van Steenbergen. Both regularly show in Paris and are renowned for their innovative fashion as well as work in areas ranging from jewellery and fine art, to stage, film and television.
