Live the dream – and the drama – of Sydney’s most exclusive fashion event, the Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, at this behind-the-scenes exhibition. Showcasing what takes place at these industry-only parades, Frock Stars is a collaborative project with IMG Fashion, celebrating the 15-year anniversary of this dazzling event.

Upon entering, visitors are transported into the exclusive world of Australian Fashion Week, where the catwalk comes alive. On the runway, models showcase an array of outfits by über-designers Akira Isogawa, Collette Dinnigan, Michelle Jank, Easton Pearson, Zimmermann and Ksubi. From the vantage point of the front row, visitors also experience the inside machinations – where buyers and media commentators can make or break fashion collections.

Visitors then go backstage to see how models, hair and make-up artists, stylists and show producers collaborate to keep this fast-paced event running smoothly. In the VIP lounge, watch footage from various shows and exclusive interviews with designers, models and industry insiders, and see celebrity snaps from legendary social photographer Robert Rosen.

Full of lavish gowns and avant-garde creations, Frock Stars reveals the backstage buzz and runway thrills at the Powerhouse Museum’s fashion spectacular.
