2025 was the first step. In 2026, Revel the Runway returns Bigger, Bolder. Unapologetically visible.

Canberra’s most talked-about size-inclusive fashion experience is back, and this year, it’s more than a runway. It’s a full afternoon of fashion, community and connection.

Across two themed runways; Ready to Wear and Emerging & Sustainable, you’ll see collections from a standout lineup of local and Australian designers, including Philosophy Australia, Y Not Sissy, DeGail, Rose + Reggie, Less Common, Six Times Seven, Ebony Bolts, Orange Sherbet, Alkinaa, Cherry Bobbins and New Zealand label Friday Flamingo.

Featuring models aged 20 to 57 and wearing sizes 12 to 24, Revel the Runway is all about fashion designed for real bodies, real style and genuine representation on the runway

What to expect:

A high-energy, professionally produced runway show with a 2pm start
Two themed runway segments featuring standout looks from 11 designers
A size-inclusive cast that reflects the audience, not excludes it
The return of Shop The Runway, so you can meet designers, feel fabrics, and buy pieces straight after the show
A fashion experience that feels just as much about community as it does style
