A bold celebration of colour, self-expression, maximalism, and the mood-lifting power of fashion opened the festival.
Giant floral sculptures set the scene for the Joywear Runway, evolving through shifting colour tones that complemented each designer’s story—an immersive expression of creativity and maximalism.
The show closed with a canopy of vibrant floral umbrellas, capturing the fun and joy of the runway, set to a curated soundscape of iconic ‘80s hits in celebration of the festival’s 30-year milestone.
