To create the luxurious runway within the Royal Exhibition Building, an engineered timber product, Corsica Oak in the colour 510 Coastal Oak, provided a centre stage for the festival’s premium runway events. The Corsica Oak runway is paired with a sleek black solution dyed nylon cut pile twist carpet, Timeless in colour 795 Black Magic. Timeless is utilised in the surrounding areas to ensure that the runway is the focal point of the space.

Designer Jet is a world-class custom carpet technology for creating an infinite array of colours and bespoke designs you would never have thought possible in a carpet. It works by taking any striking pattern, drawing or image and using precision engineering to inject the dye into the carpet, offering a flexible, creative and performance driven carpet solution.

PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival required a bespoke carpet runner to pair with their media wall that could encompass their vibrant brand colours. A custom design was required to create a vibrant design where guests could be photographed that could incorporate required branding elements. Designer Jet provided the ideal flooring solution and enabled the team at PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival to work alongside GH Commercial’s design teams to meet the desired brief.

The Festival

PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival is an annual celebration of Australian fashion, arts, ideas, and creative endeavour for everyone to enjoy. The festival presents 9 days of world-class runways featuring Australia's most loved designers.
