by Demos

Renowned Australian fashion house Carla Zampatti is set to open AFC Australian Fashion Week 2025 with a spectacular runway presentation on Monday, May 12. This highly anticipated showcase will celebrate 60 years of the iconic brand, paying tribute to its legacy since its establishment in 1965 while offering a glimpse into its future vision.

“For six decades, the brand that Mum built has been at the forefront of Australian fashion,” said Carla Zampatti CEO Alexander Schuman. “Her impact extended far beyond our brand – she mentored an entire generation of designers and helped shape the industry we know today. As a family business in its second generation, we are committed to preserving her legacy while continuing to evolve in the spirit of her pioneering vision.”

Carla Zampatti made a grand return to Australian Fashion Week last year after a four-year hiatus, reclaiming its position as the opening show. The absence followed the passing of Carla Zampatti herself in 2021, a moment that deeply impacted the Australian fashion community.

The creative direction for the upcoming showcase will be led by the Carla Zampatti design team, with Tanya Emon Beattie as the design director. Beattie, who rejoined the brand last year, previously worked closely with Carla Zampatti as her design understudy in the early 2000s, bringing a deep understanding of the brand’s heritage and vision.

The Carla Zampatti legacy was also honored in late 2022 with an exhibition at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum, cementing the brand’s influence on Australian fashion history.

AFC Australian Fashion Week 2025 will take place from May 12 to May 16 at Carriageworks in Redfern, Sydney. The full event lineup is expected to be announced soon, promising an exciting week of fashion, creativity, and innovation.
