Art Meets Fashion: Summer 2025/26 Fashion
The air was electric at Noosa’s Gateway to Art – a creative precinct where galleries, studios and makers’ spaces transform Gateway Drive into a living corridor of culture.
It’s here, amongst finished artworks, canvases in progress, sculptural forms and paint drop sheets that our fashion story unfolded.
The locations became more than backdrops but fashion art collaborations. In this fusion of style and artistry, the season’s trends including luxe linens, woven accents and bold, expressive prints took on a whole new energy, grounding fashion firmly in the world of local creativity.
