ABOUT TFF
Fashion with Heart. Innovation with Impact.
Founded by CEO Julz McBain, Toowoomba Fashion Festival (TFF) is Australia’s award-winning regional fashion movement—where world-class talent, radical inclusivity, and mindful sustainability set a new standard for the runway.
TFF is more than an event; it’s a platform for emerging and established designers, models, and creatives from across Queensland and beyond to shine, connect, and launch their careers.
Mission
We exist to prove that extraordinary fashion doesn’t require a capital city postcode. TFF unites designers, models, buyers, and industry professionals in a celebration of regional creativity, individuality, and environmental responsibility.
Our commitment: to elevate regional voices, set new benchmarks for sustainability, and champion fashion as both art and industry.
What Sets Us Apart
Sustainability Pioneers
TFF is the first Australian fashion festival to implement realistic sustainability standards for fashion events and reduce our footprint—meaning, no single-use plastics throughout the event.
Radical Inclusivity
Our runways celebrate diversity in every form—models of all sizes, ages, backgrounds, and identities.
Mentorship & Opportunity
We offer pathways, mentoring, and exposure for designers and models, ensuring talent from anywhere can reach national stages.
National Impact, Regional Pride
With 75% of participants coming from outside Toowoomba, we’ve transformed our city into a fashion destination and launched careers that reach far beyond Queensland.
The TFF Experience
Every March, TFF hosts a multi-day festival blending three signature runway shows—Emerging Designers, Ready-to-Wear, and Evening Wear—with VIP experiences, industry networking, and community celebration. We partner with leading creatives, media, and local businesses to deliver an unforgettable, high-glamour experience for guests, designers, and partners alike.
