Avoca Beach on the Central Coast will transform into a festive fashion runway to celebrate local style and talent powerhouses. The inaugural Central Coast Fashion week is kicking off Wednesday 22nd March, at Bombini restaurant on Avoca Drive. There will be a series of workshops and free events with leading fashion designers and influencers including, Elle Ferguson of They All Hate Us, By Weave, and Bohemian Traders taking part.
The five-day fashion event is a celebration of style and creativity, and fashion enthusiasts will have the opportunity to get up close with local fashion designers and influencers. The brains behind the fashion festival are renowned designer, Weave Dibden Neck of the By Weave Label, and Emily Berlarch of Bohemian traders.
