Sydney, a new city dedicated to fashion?
You heard right, there is a Fashion Week in Sydney ! Far from Paris, Milan, New York and London, the Australian event takes place in Australia, where many local designers and neighboring countries (in Asia or the Pacific) meet. The phenomenon is growing every year. Previously, the event was biannual, it was held twice a year on Australian soil, in Sydney for the spring-summer collections and in Melbourne for the autumn-winter collections. This event, which was called Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia, is now renamed Afterpay Australian Fashion Week (AAFW). This is only held once a year, in the city of Sydney. In 2020, following the health context linked to Covid-19, the event was cancelled. But the May 2021 session took place and went pleasantly!

Hoping that the health situation is stable, you can go to Australia at spring 2022 for Sydney Fashion Week, provided you are vaccinated or have carried out a still valid test and comply with the health measures in force. You will also need to apply for a Visa for Australia.
How much does a flight to Sydney cost? For a return plane ticket to Sydney from Paris, count between 900 € and 1500 € on average.
