Australian Fashion Rooms brings together 12 Australian designers in a gallery-like setting in the Marais, giving international buyers, media and industry a dedicated place to discover Australian fashion in Paris. It is the AFC’s largest international trade initiative to date.

This tour gives AFBA members a chance to see the collections up close and meet the designers behind them.

The showroom features a cohort of emerging, evolving and established brands spanning couture, refined and directional ready-to-wear, First Nations-led practice, artisanal craft and experimental design:

Amy Lawrance · Buai · Caroline Reznik · ESSE · Haluminous · Ilio Nema · Maara Collective · Madre Natura · Miimi & Jiinda · NGALI · Paolo Sebastian · Romance Was Born

This event is open to AFBA members and a plus one per member. It will suit anyone with an interest in fashion, design, retail or Australia–France trade and cultural exchange. Contact AFBA Manager Penelope Roth if you are not yet an AFBA member and wish to attend.
