Fashion

Mercedes-Benz is committed to fashion partnerships and events around Australia.

The perfect dress, like a Mercedes-Benz, doesn’t just look good. It makes you feel good.

The creative forces that make fashion so immersive – design, innovation, technology – also drive Mercedes-Benz to be one of the world’s most desired automotive brands.

For decades, Mercedes-Benz has been a dedicated supporter of fashion and emerging designers all over the world. That includes more than 60 events in 30 countries spanning several decades.

In this way, the worlds of cars and fashion intertwine, drawing inspiration and innovation from the other in a process that makes each even more beautiful and desirable. This ensures that tomorrow’s stars of fashion have a stage to be seen today.
