THIS IS A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE YOUR TALENT AND YOUR DESIGNS TO A NATIONAL AUDIENCE!

The NRA Australian Fashion Design Awards presented by AMP Capital Shopping Centres are Australia’s premier fashion design awards for Australian fashion designers, fashion students and manufacturers.

The Australian Fashion Design Awards were established in 1981 as a high profile and glamorous vehicle for designers to showcase their talents to the shopping public, wider community and potential buyers and investors.
 
The Awards represent the pinnacle of achievement in the fashion industry and have also become a key social event on the calendar, not only for the fashion industry but also for the general public.
 
The Australian Fashion Design Awards are the longest-running, continuously-televised fashion show in Australian television history.
