ARTSTHREAD is proud to be a media partner for the second year to Melbourne Fashion Hub (MFH) - an independent body offering an innovative and free open access program to Melbourne fashion students and recent graduates. This is the first initiative of its kind in Australia.

The recently created Melbourne Fashion Hub is the brainchild of Julia Browne – Founder of Style Shifter Media. Julia identified a gap between education and business for current and recently graduated students. Julia created Melbourne Fashion Hub to address this gap and assist with providing future work opportunities for students.

Melbourne Fashion Hub seeks to nurture entrepreneurship in emerging designers, committed to the process of self-development to ultimately gain a better understanding of their practice and future career pathways.

Now in its third year, Melbourne Fashion Hub will once again showcase and sell works by Australia’s amazing multidisciplinary artists, fashion design students, and recent graduates.

 Featuring local talent from Holmesglen, RMIT University, and Whitehouse Institute of Design, design inspiration has been pulled from cultural references, conceptual ideas, and textile technology. The individual and unique works represent editorial to accessible fashion - and all points in between with responsible practice, the one thing they all have in common.

The opening night on Friday, 24th March, and weekend pop from the 25th to the 26th of March provides a platform for designers to sell their work, engage with consumers, media, and the broader fashion community to generate new connections and foster future pathways into work.
