The M.A.D. Fashion Showcase 2021
IMPORTANT UPDATE
After months of careful consideration, daily risk assessment and deliberation, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our traditional MAD Fashion Showcase. Your health and safety has always, and continues to be, our absolute priority.
This was not a decision made lightly, and we deeply apologise and share any disappointment you have for this adjustment.
Since our inception in 2016, our driving mission has been to provide Melbourne’s alternative artistic community with the very best quality event to showcase the thriving talent and community here. And unfortunately, we feel we just can’t do that while covid-19 continues to affect gathering restriction laws and make the viability of large events so uncertain.
We are committed to the safety and enjoyment of all our guests. With this forefront of mind, and although it’s a decision we hoped we wouldn’t have to make, we have decided our traditional MAD Showcase can’t proceed this year - at least not in the form that you know it.
Regarding any ticketing concerns -
- If you have purchased a ticket, your reservation will be transferred to our 2022 Showcase date - to be confirmed shortly.
- If you are unable to attend the 2022 Showcase date, we will refund you in full.
If you are a current ticketholder, we will be in touch with you soon. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to madfashionshowcase@gmail.com
While February will not see the traditional MAD Fashion Showcase and marketplace, there is one further change this year:
We would like to announce that we are working overtime behind the scenes to bring you something special this February!
This will be a unique, more intimate way for guests to experience the MAD Fashion Showcase - this special iteration of MAD will take place on the original date, at the same venue. More details are coming soon! So please watch this space while we bring this special event together.
2020 and these first few weeks of 2021 have brought unprecedented challenges. We continue to monitor and adapt to ensure we are doing our utmost in the interests of everyone’s health at our events.
While we continue to navigate a very uncertain time, full of very tough decisions, rest assured we are working to bring you the very best in alternative fashion, art and design.
We want to extend our deepest thanks and appreciation to our community.
Designers, volunteers and guests - whether you’ve been with us since Day One or if 2021 is your first year with us - thank you for your patience and support, and all that you bring to make MAD the creative and spirited event we all know and love.
- Carly and the MAD team
