Connect with FashLabers

Fashlab is a community/network established in Melbourne to share knowledge, advice, news, and mentorship across Victoria’s small-scale fashion and related creative industries. 

Fashlab members are a mix of veteran and new creative business people. They share their priceless anecdotal knowledge and contacts face-to-face under an agreed code of trust, discretion, and non-disclosure. 

Fashlab’s range of themed conversations is infinite, from starting out to closing down and every trick of running and growing a creative industry business in between.
