SYDNEY AW26 REBUILD + DATE CHANGE 🥲
A warm welcome to everyone dipping their toes in for the first time. A hello and 🫶 to current ticket holders who were emailed yesterday!
Turns out the start of our EMERGENCE campaign for Sydney AW26 and beyond was a bigger jolt than we thought. Throughout last week we’ve met new friends, started new conversations, and looked over new proposals.
2 are right in line with why Moda is. Just is.
Both of them required more time.
So we looked around and asked - do we actually need to be in May? Not really.
Next up was June 20. After a big week of recalibration we are well and truly locked and loaded. We’ve thrown the key into White Bay and that’s that.
2 designers added rounding us to a subtle 15.
Our first blossoming presentation on the wharf is looking GLORIOUS and a silly idea we had for the DJ booth is now in the works. Tip - bring your best coat. Cloak room is going to POP OFF.
Alongside that alterations to the wharf area and exposed new opportunity for harbourside runway dining (yes you read that right).
We opted for 2 more weeks than we needed because we are damn sure that the networking has only just begun.
So it’s over to you. Ideas, concepts, dreams - anything you want to throw our way for AW26 and beyond.
We’ll soon announce limited number of management roles for the night and various volunteer roles ranging from H&MU, runway production, dressing assistants and more. We’re also looking to hire multiple part time and full time roles looking at July starts - more on this soon.
Overall things are looking good Sydney. Things are looking good ❤️
Back to work.
We hope you’re hungry Sydney because it is time to EAT.
On Friday @dailytelegraph Sydney Confidential exclusively reported on MODA AW26 — revealing White Bay Cruise Terminal as the home of this year’s dance floor and runway.
Our city. Our stage.
They also broke the news on our plans to take MODA Designer to 13 cities globally this year — work that started back in October.
Best to show them who we are before we get there.
Words by Willow Berry + Summer Liu — thank you both. And thank you to @businesssydney Executive Director Paul Nicolaou for his time and comments.
Sydney AW26.
JUNE 20 [UPDATED]. White Bay Cruise Terminal.
Inner Circle pre-sale this week. Public sale Wednesday.
Long live The Emergence.
Sydney… you have waited long enough.
Tomorrow at 4pm we reveal the AW26 instalment of Moda Designer.
New venue. New runway format. More designers than we thought possible - same DNA.
6 hours of uninterrupted dance music, runway through the dance floor and a collaboration which remains both unique and energising.
Our brief? Turn Sydney into Monaco for the night. We’ll let you be the judge of that.
Presale is extending until next Tuesday, at which point everyone will be able to reserve their spot at the most electrifying runway on the planet.
Tomorrow we finally begin the *********.
Whether you’re spending time with family, friends, trotting to a dance floor or sewing the start of something new, enjoy whatever this long weekend means to you 💫
