The Australian fashion community will be the first to experience a new, interactive fashion event, Fashion Palette.

With a well-earned reputation as elitist and insular, the Australianfashion industry welcomes new ideas with the wild indifference of acatwalk model at a chocolate factory. Egalitarian it is not, which isperhaps why there has been an inordinate amount of buzz over theFashion Palette event which promises to bring fashion back to thepublic.

The idea is to allow budding fashion designers and members of thepublic the chance to learn from some of the world's leading fashionfigures. Twelve leading designers will each share the ins and outs oftheir career journeys.

The premier Fashion Palette will be held over two days and featuresmany of the biggest names in the fashion arena including PeterMorrissey, Mimco, Insight, Alpha60, InStyle, Arturo Elena, StyleHunter, Check, Stand, White Sands and Daniel Herman.

Notoriously difficult to access,these designers will each present a 45-minute interactive lecture andQ and A session, followed by runway shows and floor discussions.There is a timely, counter-couture atmosphere surrounding the upstartevent, as it presents itself in the shadows of Sydney's larger andinternationally regarded Rosemount fashion week. The current financialclimate lends a legitimacy to any attempt to break open the jealouslyguarded fashion industry coffers and Fashion Palette has received warmand enthusiastic support from the media and the general public.

The first Fashion Palette Excellence Awards, a national fashion awardsprogram which aims to recognise the best emerging Australian fashiondesigners has been open to public entries and, according to FashionPalette director, Sonya Mefaddi, already far exceeded expectations.Winners of the Award's four categories (Fashion Design; AccessoryDesign; Capturing Fashion; People's Choice) will be named at theFashion Palette event on 2nd May 2009 in Sydney, where the overallwinner will also be announced.

Fashion Palette will take place on 1st-2nd May 2009 at the SydneyConvention and Exhibition Centre, Sydney, NSW.

Fashionistas should not miss this event!
