Iconic restaurateur Maurice Terzini, high profile wine judge and critic Mike Bennie, and experimental concept store Sorry Thanks I Love You have joined forces to create FFWD Festival a fashion, food, wine and music mash-up headlined by Julian Hamilton (The Presets) at a converted substation in the heart of Sydney.

Centred around a fashion market in Machine Hall’s, FFWD presents a collection of new season and archival pieces curated from STILY’s stable of renegade designers – like Comme des Garcons, Acne Studios, Diesel, Issey Miyake, Marni and MM6 Maison Margiela.

Produced by Buddy Creative, FFWD launches on Thursday 1 August with an opening night cocktail party headlined by Julian Hamilton (The Presets) plus a live set from psychedelic rock band Velvet Trip, Archie Rose cocktails, canapes by Icebergs Dining Room And Bar and fashion-forward drinks curated by Bennie.

Between sets: a charity auction of archive Comme Des Garçons pieces live from the runway to raise money for integrated cancer hospital Chris O’Brien Lifehouse.

Add screenings of the newly released fashion documentary John Galliano High & Low, a large-scale art installation from Dover Street Market artist Brett Westfall, BTS interviews from Paris Fashion Week and a program of tastings and panel discussions with art, food and fashion industry leaders and a soundscape of live DJs, and you have a weekend like no other in 2024.
