The cream of the crop in Canberra designers and labels gathered at Hotel Realm on Saturday 14th May for the Canberra Charity Fashion Show.

Following a steady stream of talented Canberra designers leaving the city, organiser Japna Singh decided to take action.

“The night was really to raise awareness of local Canberra designers,” she says.

“So many designers move to Sydney and Melbourne. So the plan was to get everything together in the one room and really promote local designers.”

The night featured a fashion parade showcasing designers and labels from local stores including Sarasi Perera, Ellory Lane and E4 Clothing.

The event also raised over $1,000 for the Canberra Blind Society.
