CRESCERE RUNWAY

THURSDAY 19 FEBRUARY
5:00PM + 7:00PM

INDEPENDENT RUNWAYS

We are a collective of young creatives dedicated to shaping the future of design by spotlighting fresh, emerging talent. As recent graduates, we are at the threshold of our journeys, driven by curiosity, cultural pride, and a desire to contribute something meaningful to the creative landscape. Our work is informed by our diverse Asian heritage and our upbringing in Australia, and this unique intersection forms the foundation of our creative identity. It shapes how we see the world, how we design, and how we tell stories through our work.

Our runway concept, Crescere—meaning ‘to grow’—captures the essence of who we are and what we aim to present. Crescere represents an emergence, a transition from students into designers, and a celebration of growth in its many forms: personal, cultural, and collective. This theme reflects not only our evolution but also the wider journey of young creatives who are continually shaping and reshaping their identities through their craft. Through Crescere, we aim to communicate how culture can be both inherited and self-defined, and how growth is an ongoing process rather than a destination. Our showcase seeks to create a platform where new voices can be seen and heard. The runway presentation will unveil our latest design work—pieces that explore narrative, experimentation, and cultural storytelling.

Prior to the runway, we will host a curated pop-up and exhibition, offering guests an intimate preview of garments, artworks, and accessories created in collaboration with fellow emerging artists. This pre-show experience highlights the richness of multidisciplinary creativity and the value of community within artistic practice.
