Our next fabulous fashion event Creative Coast is being held in Geelong – the first time Revival Runway has organised a show outside of Melbourne. There are so many talented artists and designers based in Geelong and around the Surf Coast which made it an easy choice to pick the place for our 25 February event.
Since it is a big event for us, we will be heading up to the city for the weekend and are partnering with the brand new Quest Geelong Central for our stay. Why don’t you do that too? Make our event a weekend getaway – you deserve it.
