Frequently Asked Questions

Dates of the Festival?

Sunday March 14 to Sunday March 21, 2010


When do tickets go on sale?

When we officially launch our program on February 10, 2010

How long does a show go for?

All Runway shows held at the Festival are timed at half an hour. Events may go for longer but all catwalks finish within this half an hour time frame.

 What do I wear to a fashion show?

It depends on what show you are attending and we of all people know that everyone has their own style! There is no dress code but why not slap on those heels and make yourself stylish for the night. A hip pair of jeans with a comfy tee or a summer dress always goes down well (depending on the weather!). Runway Deluxe is a cocktail event so we do recommend to dress up for this event.

All the shows are entertaining and offer a point of difference for the audience.
