FAQ

Sydney, answered

When is Australian Fashion Week?

It typically runs in May as a Resort showcase. The Cast Index 2026 record is 11–15 May at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Circular Quay.

Who organises it now?

The Australian Fashion Council, following IMG’s 2024 exit. 2026 marked the week’s 30th anniversary and a new MCA home after thirteen years at Carriageworks.

Why is Resort important?

Resort/Cruise collections are a major share of luxury sales despite a lower profile than the two main seasons. AFW is the first international week on that calendar each year.
