DESIGNERS OFFERED A LEG-UP FOR FASHION WEEK

Designers will have the opportunity to apply for funding worth up to $250,000 to participate in Australia’s pinnacle fashion event, Afterpay Australian Fashion Week (AAFW), which will take place in Sydney from 31 May through the support of Destination NSW.

The event will be covered under the Federal Government’s Business Events Grants program, which supports Australian businesses disproportionately affected by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic by providing grants between $10,000 and $250,000.

Eligible businesses can now apply for funding to cover their participation costs in AAFW, which may include:
  • Production costs for runway shows
  • Digital content and trade showrooms
  • Travel and accommodation expenses for media and buyers, and
  • Activation and promotional collateral for participating sponsors.

Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney, Stuart Ayres, said: “The Business Events Grants program is a fantastic initiative to help eligible businesses get back on their feet. I strongly encourage designers requiring assistance to apply, so that they can secure their place at Australia’s pinnacle fashion event, AAFW, in Sydney, and showcase their incredible work on a global stage.”

Applications close 5pm (AEDST) on 30 March 2021 or earlier if funding is exhausted. To see if your business is eligible and to apply, visit business.gov.au.
