LOCAL businesses will rub shoulders with fashion designers from places like Czech Republic and Uruguay when Eco Fashion Week Australia arrives in Port Douglas next month.

Tickets are available for the nightly runway shows at the Port Douglas Community Hall that will feature 35 international designers. 

EFWA Chief Executive Zuhal Kuvan-Mills said the runway shows will feature the world’s best in organic and sustainable fashion.

“The incredible response we have received clearly shows the strong growing demand for sustainable, locally made, and ethical fashion,” she said.

“It's time to stop the sweatshops and fast fashion forever.” 

Runway shows will present Australian indigenous, local and interstate designers, along with designers from Canada, England, India, Uruguay, Argentina, Japan, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Vietnam, and the Czech Republic. 

EFWA will take place in Port Douglas from November 4 to 10. For more information on this event visit the website.
