4 March, 2025

Port Moresby is set to host an exciting showcase of fashion this April, as the highly anticipated Port Moresby Fashion Week takes center stage at the Vision City Mega Mall from April 17th to 19th. As part of the PNG Fashion Week 2025 calendar, the event will feature six ready-to-wear fashion and product runways, bringing a stylish blend of local talent and cutting-edge trends to Papua New Guinea.

For the past eight years, Port Moresby Fashion Week has been a cornerstone of the local fashion scene, offering a unique platform for designers, models, and retailers to showcase their creativity and innovation. The event has become an essential part of the PNG Fashion Week calendar, drawing attention not only from the local community but also from international fashion enthusiasts and buyers. It has provided valuable exposure and opportunities for local talent, propelling the careers of many aspiring designers and models, while also giving retailers the chance to reach a wider audience.

With over 20,000 shoppers visiting the Vision City Mega Mall every day, the foot traffic is expected to double during Port Moresby Fashion Week, providing an exceptional opportunity for designers to present their collections to a diverse and engaged audience. This partnership with Vision City Mega Mall is instrumental in bringing the event to life each year. The mall’s mission to empower local SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) is truly realized through this event, as it allows local designers, retailers, and fashion enthusiasts to showcase their work in a premier shopping destination.

By hosting Port Moresby Fashion Week, Vision City Mega Mall continues to provide a dynamic platform for Papua New Guinea’s emerging talent to shine on a larger stage. This collaboration has created an ecosystem of growth, fostering business connections, boosting local entrepreneurship, and offering a stage for both new and established names in fashion to flourish.

"Port Moresby Fashion Week has always been about creating opportunities for local talent and providing a platform for emerging designers to showcase their creativity," said Philma Kelegai, Founder and Managing Director of PNG Fashion Week and the Pacific Fashion Summit. "Over the past eight years, it has grown into a vital event that empowers the local fashion industry and opens doors for businesses to connect with a broader audience. This year's event will be even bigger and better, and we are excited to continue building on this success in partnership with Vision City Mega Mall."

This year, we invite all local emerging designers to participate in Port Moresby Fashion Week, offering a chance to showcase their unique collections to a wider audience. In addition to the incredible exposure, one talented winner will receive the ultimate prize: the opportunity to participate in the PNG Fashion Week 2025 Genesis Show, further propelling their fashion career and providing them with an unparalleled platform to gain national and international attention.

Port Moresby Fashion Week is FREE to the public, making it accessible to all who wish to be part of this incredible celebration of fashion and style. We invite local businesses to take advantage of this powerful platform and join us in showcasing their brands and products. Whether you're a designer, retailer, or entrepreneur, Port Moresby Fashion Week offers an unparalleled opportunity to gain visibility, connect with a broader audience, and contribute to the growing fashion scene in Papua New Guinea.
