Adelaide’s most anticipated fashion event is back and its bigger than ever. ADL Fashion Week returns from 8–12 October 2025, reimagined for a new era with a five-day program that places South Australian creativity and innovation firmly in the national spotlight.
Now in partnership with the South Australian Fashion Industry Association (SAFIA) and proudly presented by the Adelaide Economic Development Agency (AEDA), this year’s festival promises a dynamic lineup of runways, talks, workshops, and city-wide events that weave together Adelaide’s fashion, beauty, design, hospitality, and business sectors.
From bold runways to creative pop-ups and local showcases, the 2025 festival is designed to highlight the breadth and depth of South Australia’s fashion industry, while also opening up opportunities for businesses across the city and North Adelaide to get involved through the Associated Events Program.
Last year’s event was the most successful to date, drawing in more than 2,200 ticketed attendees, and a vibrant crowd of fashion-lovers through a series of free events and pop-up activations. A third of those events championed sustainability, a theme that continues to shape the ethos of ADL Fashion Week.
In 2025, the festival places even greater emphasis on cross-industry collaboration, encouraging local retailers, designers, venues, and entrepreneurs to activate their spaces and connect with new audiences.
The Associated Events Program is now open, inviting businesses to propose new events, launch products, or host collaborative activations. Tiered marketing support packages are also available, offering promotional benefits and guidance to help bring ideas to life.
As Adelaide continues to define itself as a festival city with a global outlook, ADL Fashion Week 2025 is set to reaffirm its place as a cornerstone of the cultural calendar, one that not only celebrates local design but empowers the industry to thrive.
