We are a group of independent fashion industry professionals committed to raising the profile of emerging fashion and increasing international appreciation for Australian design.

The Spirit of the Black Dress is a dynamic, not-for-profit project at the leading edge of Australian design. Our event aims to promote emerging designers and bring attention to the exceptional talent born of the Australian consciousness. With a focus on sustainability, we seek to highlight how our innovators in art and fashion are grappling creatively with the issues of our times in parallel with designing timeless fashion - the black dress.

We annually present a red carpet gala evening, runway show, fashion film screening and public photographic exhibition. Ten winning dress designs are selected by a panel of five industry professionals.

We proudly launched in 2009 as part of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week and since 2010, we have been a key component of the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival Cultural Program.

Your support will go to the production of the opening gala, our event magazine that helps us spread the word about local sustainable designers throughout Australia, our media launch and industry night. We love all our supporters and appreciate any support you can provide us.
