Spring fashion is taking over Burnside Village this September, with four days of runway moments, luxury labels, high tea and personal styling set to mark the arrival of the new season.
Running from Thursday, September 24 to Sunday, September 27, The Art of Fashion will launch Burnside Village’s Spring/Summer 2026 season with a series of events showcasing national and international fashion alongside food and luxury experiences.
Among the highlights is a new runway high tea hosted by Burnside Village Ambassador Poh Ling Yeow, along with a first-of-its-kind luxury showcase bringing fashion houses, fine jewellery and exceptional timepieces together in Adelaide.
The celebrations begin on Thursday morning with The Art of High Tea, where guests will get a first look at some of the season’s most coveted collections while enjoying a menu of sweet and savoury creations designed by Poh.
The menu will be paired with sparkling wine and T2 teas, while the runway will feature national and international brands, including labels exclusive to Burnside Village.
“Bringing food and fashion together is such a treat,” Poh said.
“The best days combine a great outfit with something delicious to eat, and The Art of High Tea is exactly that.”
The celebrations will continue after hours on Thursday evening with The Art of Fashion After Dark.
Guests will be welcomed with a Hugo Spritz before sitting down to a seasonal dining experience by Out in the Paddock, accompanied by sparkling and white wine. Throughout the evening, a curated selection of fashion will showcase some of the key looks, colours and silhouettes of Spring/Summer 2026.
On Sunday, the focus turns firmly to luxury with the inaugural Art of Fashion Galerie.
Designed as an intimate luxury salon, the new event will bring together luxury maisons, fine jewellery, exceptional timepieces and distinguished fashion houses, including names that Burnside Village says have never previously been presented together in Adelaide.
For those looking to translate the new season into their own wardrobe, Burnside Village stylists Stefan Francesca and Lauren Dilena will also host a series of personalised 90-minute styling sessions.
Beginning with a private consultation, the sessions will see guests guided through the season’s textures, colours and silhouettes before putting together looks tailored to their individual lifestyle. Sessions will be available on Friday, September 25, Saturday, September 26, Friday, October 2 and Saturday, October 3.
Burnside Village Centre General Manager Jodie Kannane said the four-day campaign was designed to give shoppers a closer look at the collections and people shaping the season.
“From intimate runway moments to luxury showcases and personalised styling, the campaign gives our community front-row access to the collections, experts and experiences defining the season,” Jodie said.
