Hello and Welcome to Fashion Exposed Online...

Happy New Year and welcome to 2012! I hope you all had a wonderful and well-rested holiday season that recharged your batteries to gear up for what's set to be an eventful year ahead. The Fashion Exposed team are full steam ahead preparing for the first fashion trade show of the year next month from 12-14 February at the Sydney Exhibition Centre, along with the Australian Shoe Fair and the Bags & Accessories Fair.

There are plenty of exciting attractions in store for the 2012 show including the return of the French Designer Showcase which will feature handpicked labels direct from the fashion capital. Don't miss our chat with new media supporter, The Sydney Girl; the ARA post-Christmas sales report; and Phoebe Garland gives us her New Year fashion resolutions - if we all lived in a perfect world of course. We also reveal some of the must-see brands at the show.

If you haven't already, please join us on our social media channels. Fashion Exposed is now on Facebook and Twitter, tune in for regular updates and fashion news. And don't forget to check out our Fashion Exposed Blog.

Until next time,
