More Diversity
More Style
Western Sydney Fashion Festival (WSFF) is an annual community event showcasing a fashion runaway for emerging and culturally diverse fashion designers.
Pioneered by a group of young creatives from Western Sydney, our aim is to emphasise on the rich diversity of fashion talents through social inclusion and cohesion.
CULTURAL DIVERSITY FOR DIALOGUE AND DEVELOPMENT
Cultural diversity is a driving force of development; WSFF aspires to bridge the gap between cultures through fashion. The acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity in fashion is significant in initiating dialogue amongst diverse communities leading to the development of respect and mutual understanding.
WSFF aims to
- Achieve a balanced flow of (fashion) cultural goods and services
- Increase mobility of creative fashion talent through cultural development programs
- Integrate culture in sustainable development frameworks in the fashion industry
