ADL Fashion Week has come racing round the corner as we veer into October and start completely reassessing and overhauling our style for spring and summer.
With the week returning from 8 to 12 October 2025 (second week of October), there are already a plethora of events that have hit the program - further filling us with decision paralysis with the variety of local brands and experiences to delve into.
The five-day citywide celebration of style, culture, and creativity is championing the local fashion industry while providing a platform for the beauty, culinary, and design industries to connect, collaborate, and flourish.
So, which events are the actual standouts for the 2025 ADL Fashion week? With some already sold out, check out my top picks here:
