Join Us at VOICES in December at Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire, UK

SYDNEY, Australia — This week, the power players of Australian fashion gathered at the Sydney Opera House for the second in a series of local events leading up to VOICES, BoF's new annual global event taking place this December and springing directly from the discussions and debates bubbling on the popular Voices section of our website.

Coming in from all corners of this vast and dynamic country — from Perth and Brisbane to Melbourne and Adelaide — they represented every facet of a local fashion industry that is grappling with fundamental change. Much like their counterparts elsewhere, Australians are engaged in a vigorous discussion on topics like fashion immediacy and the role of physical retail in a digital world.

At the event, we brought together the local industry with experts from all over the world — including Paris, London, Hong Kong, Auckland and Berlin — to explore these issues in depth and have an open and honest conversation about the state of the industry and where it is going.

This is precisely why we created VOICES, a completely different kind of fashion industry gathering, bringing together the movers, shakers and trailblazers of the fashion industry with big thinkers, entrepreneurs and other inspiring people who are shaping the wider world.

Through a programme of provocative talks, interactive discussions and unforgettable activities, VOICES will help spark ideas and solve real-world challenges by connecting fashion leaders and entrepreneurs with visionaries from fields as diverse as science, technology, health and wellness, food, film, politics, the arts, philosophy and philanthropy.
