Fibre Couture - fashion parade, bazaar and high tea


Fibre Couture is an exciting and innovative fashion parade followed by high tea and exclusive access to the Fibre Couture Bazaar. Combining the talents of members of ACT Textile Arts Association and the Canberra Region Feltmakers, the fashion parade will showcase wearable art created from diverse textile media including handmade felt, shibori and fabric embellishments.

High tea after the fashion parade will be a chance to compare notes and enjoy delicious homemade food and a glass of bubbly.

Most of the items in the parade will be for sale and ACTTAA and CRF members have also stocked a colourful bazaar – giving the perfect chance to pick up a spring racing accessory or a festive season outfit. There are also many smaller items such as hats, necklaces and brooches available for sale that could make very special gifts.

Fibre Couture will be held at the Belconnen Arts Centre, 118 Emu Bank Belconnen ACT.

Ticket price is $25.


Bookings for the fashion parade and high tea are essential. Take your seat from 1.45pm for a 2pm start.

The Fibre Couture Bazaar will also be open to the public (but closed during the parades):
12pm-5pm on Saturday 14 October
10.30am-5pm  on Sunday 15 October
