So here we go again – let the games begin. With 7 days to go ‘til the mad stint at RAFW, we’re thrilled to see that invites are still pouring in. But what’s even more exciting is the grand opening at the Sydney Theatre company this year. The prestigious kick-off show, which has been awarded to Camilla and Marc, will be followed by Lisa Ho at an off-site event. Though the number of “usual suspects” has been reduced, it’s likely to be a fashion festival with its own flavour. There will be lots of interesting young labels like Life With Bird, and last year’s fashion darlings Anna and Boy. Nicola Finetti will be introducing his new offspring Fissoni Finetti – a cool urban menswear line. The whole event has been reconfigured, so stay tuned to see what it looks like. Hopefully there’ll be a better deal for all the exhibitors who’ve been hitherto stuck upstairs at “The Source” trade show.
