Melbourne independent fashion.
We’re all in this together.








Connecting Creatives
FashLab is a room full of people, a mix of veteran and new creative businesspeople, who work in independent fashion – designers, makers, stylists, producers, consultants – connecting and sharing what’s hard, what’s working, and what they wish someone had told them earlier.
We started in Melbourne 6 years ago when a group of fashion practitioners found they needed each other. We’re still here. Now formally incorporated, and still free.
Every first Wednesday. A guided conversation on one topic that matters right now. Warm, practical, off the record.
Twice a year, a ticketed event that consistently sells out. Panelists, ideas, and the kind of conversations you don’t get anywhere else.
Get involved.
FashLab is based in and around Melbourne, on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge their Elders past and present, and extend that respect to the Traditional Custodians of all the lands across Victoria where our community gathers.
