Below is the media released by the IMG group regarding Sydney Fashion Week which happens from August 17.
In the weeks following the Sydney event there will be similar fashion 'weeks' in Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne, with all the city-centric activities _ runway shows, fashion forum and in-store events _ aimed at revving up the next fashion selling season - spring and summer.
Retailers and the local fashion industry, which is constantly being pummeled by cheaper Chinese, Indian and Indonesian-made imports will be hoping it will take some heat off our small 'r' recession. MH

The Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival, to be staged in August, aims to encourage the public to head direct from the catwalk into stores to purchase the latest product straight from the runway.

At the same time a full fringe festival of events, taking in the CBD, Paddington and surrounds, will also form part of the official schedule.

Sold out crowds were thrilled by all the catwalk action of last year when the public was invited to become the ultimate fashion critic, soak up the atmosphere and get the trends direct from the ‘Rosemount Runway’ marquee.

Designers, celebrities and more are expected to walk the red carpet and take up front row positions amongst the sell-out crowds who gather in the tent to be a part of it all.

Open for the public and brought to you by the same professional team that produces the world-renowned industry event, Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, tickets to the festival will go on sale on 14 July 2009 and be available through Ticketek outlets nationwide and online.

Daniel Hill, General Manager, IMG Fashion Australia said, “Rosemount Australian Fashion Week has been at the pinnacle of the Australian fashion industry for more than a decade now, and has enjoyed its reputation as the leading fashion trade event in the Asia Pacific, at the forefront in promoting a creative and sophisticated image of Australia and its fashion. We have now successfully taken that fashion industry experience and expertise direct to the domestic consumer, right here in the heart of Sydney. It was such a buzz to see the public react so strongly and positively to the event, especially in its inaugural year, and we’re thrilled to be back and looking forward to growing and developing the event in year two and into the future.”

The NSW Government, through Events New South Wales, and with IMG Fashion and Rosemount have partnered to create the Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival in order to promote the city’s fashion, retail and tourism sectors and reinforce Sydney as one of Asia Pacific’s major fashion capitals. The general public will be encouraged to buy items and make use of their newly acquired style and trend information through shopping the surrounding boutiques and retail precincts of Sydney’s CBD and surrounds.
