Melbourne, Australia Undress Runways was born out of a pop-up runway at a Brisbane car park in 2011. Undress grew into Australiaโs leading sustainable fashion runway event worked on by hundreds of people each year. We have showcased over 100 Australian and international sustainable designers, welcomed more than 5,000 guests to our shows and reached 50,000 people each year.

Undress strives for sustainability in fashion, diversity on the runway and setting a higher bar for the industry. We make space for important discussions on sustainability, ethics, diversity and inclusion, the climate crisis and tech innovation. Together with the Undress team, I have grown Undress from an underground runway show into a global platform that paves the way for a healthier fashion industry. From runway events to digital media, educational events to a print magazine, Undress grew from strength to strength over the last 10 years but we have officially closed our doors. Show less
