Fashion Weekend is the highlight of the Sydney shopping year. It is a time when all the best known Australian designers lay out their wears and sell to the public at heavily discounted prices. For shoppers, it’s not only a time to get great discounts, but also to find out what’s hot and trendy for the season.

The catwalk at Fashion Weekend always steals the spotlight above all the other exhibitions. The Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Weekend showed designs from This Is Genevieve, Life With Bird, Fleur Wood, Hussy, Little Joe Woman, Muccia, Lucette and Shakuhachi.

Fashion Weekend is a public event which happens just one week after Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. After models have been dressed, faces have been made-up and hair has been styled for the last seven or eight days straight, a little tiredness is to be expected. But it was not so. Every model on the catwalk showed a bright new outfit, with every thread on the model for sale at the nearby stalls.

At Sydney Fashion Weekend, the catwalk does not only dictate new trends, it inspires the audience to shop, see and interact with the designers in the retail space. Seeing a hot frock paraded down the catwalk and being able to buy it five minutes later is a dream come true for shop-a-holics. Inspiring fashions and a chance to lay hands on a great bargain is what Sydney Fashion Weekend is all about.

From the organisers of Fashion Weekend Sydney, where over 13,000 Sydneysiders
shopped up a storm and splurged on the hottest looks for winter, came Fashion
Weekend Summer.

Featuring more designers than ever before, Fashion Weekend
Summer took place at the Royal Hall of Industries from 12-15 November, and was a
definite fashion go-to for those in the know when it comes to summer fashion.
This ultimate summer fashion event gave fashion diehards the chance to get
their hands on stylish pieces from over 120 designers at fabulously reduced prices.

Saving up to 70% from designers such as Alice McCall, Bec & Bridge, Fleur Wood,
Hussy, Ginger & Smart, Manning Cartell and Shakuhachi there were
sizzling summer bargains.

Spring/Summer Fashion weekend was also a great spot to be updated on the latest fashion trends that came straight from the catwalks.

As well as the fabulous shopping, fashionistas could be primped and preened with
beauty makeovers, hair styling by ghd, and manicures by essie.

The Fashion Weekend Summer featured three different shows on rotation including beachwear, daywear and gorgeous evening frocks to inspire the looks for the long hot summer ahead.
