The Best Street Style From Melbourne Fashion Festival 2026

Melbourne’s famously unpredictable weather hasn’t deterred the crème de la crème of fashion from turning out in full force, packing the streets with a heavy dose of colour and flair for the 2026 Melbourne Fashion Festival.

Back for its 30th anniversary, the two-week programme is stacked with premium runway shows, talks, hands-on workshops and live performances, drawing industry insiders, creatives and fashion fans from all over. Running until Saturday, February 28, it’s a chance for everyone to celebrate the city’s creative pulse and the local designers who keep Melbourne’s fashion scene alive and buzzing.

Melbourne-based photographer Liz Sunshine has been on the ground, capturing some of the most creative and swoon-worthy street-style moments. From clever takes on shirting and floaty sheer numbers to layers of lace and upcycled plaid, scroll on for the best of Melbourne Fashion Festival street style.
