Last week (21 August), the Minns Government launched the NSW Fashion Sector Strategy, which it has been working on with industry and design-focussed institutions, to formalise a pathway for future designers and innovators in the fashion sector. The strategy is the first of its kind in Australia, and while popular belief often places Melbourne as the fashion spotlight, rather it is Sydney that has traditionally been the heart of the sector’s manufacturing, education and presentation with Australian Fashion Week.
