Alongside the Festival, Cappellazzo celebrates its 30th anniversary—marking Founder and Creative Director Sonia Cappellazzo’s enduring couture legacy in Melbourne. Her bridal, ready-to-wear, and red-carpet gowns are known for their craftsmanship, Italian influence, and innovative fabrics.

With a focus on empowering women, Cappellazzo blends traditional techniques with modern design—creating timeless pieces that feel both confident and refined. From the Cannes Film Festival and Venice Film Festival to the Brownlow Medal, her designs have appeared on some of the world’s most recognised stages.

This Grand Showcase was a standout moment—celebrating elegance, craftsmanship, and 30 years of design.
