Canowindra Fashion Show – 12 April 2026

Local Fashion – Delicious Canapes – Fine Wine

Proudly Event of the Canowindra International Balloon Challenge

Former fashion model and local free range pork grower, Sarah Refalo, has a dream: “To showcase to the people at Canowindra that they dont need to go to Orange for great fashion – we have so much variety in our own small town.”

Sarah and her partner David have their Farm Shop at their neighbouring winery’s cellar door: Rosnay. People drop in all the time to grab their delicious fresh pork and smallgoods.

The beautiful view out the front over lush lawns towards the Belubula Valley and Mount Canobolas is the perfect backdrop for Sarah’s dream to become a reality.

Sarah has the support of four wonderful participating Boutiques for her unique event:

• Fabulously Mad: Vintage, one-off rarities
• Vinnies: Pre-Loved, curated, everything and anything
• Frock on: Latest styles and trends in the fashion world
• Jedabella: Cool and funky prints and comfortable casual dresses.
• Each will be Showcasing summer outfits as well as upcoming winter collections.

Local celebrity Tommy Jeffs will give running commentary as the guests come out. Local ladies, some with modeling background, are volunteering to walk the “Rosnay Runway” for a seated audience of 50 patrons maximum.

The food for the evening will be a curated showcase of the local produce featuring Refalo Free Range Pork and Rosnay Figs and Olives, by Bathurst’s renowned chef, from Norma Joan Bar, Michael Madden.

The wine will be from the local winery, with a wide range of styles to choose from, and a complimentary glass on arrive. Sorry, no BYO.

The Fashion Parade will commence at 5.30, with 8-10 looks being presented by each Boutique, interspersed with two sessions of canapes and a casual meet-and-greet afterwards until 8pm.

This event is strictly limited to 50 patrons, so please do not hesitate to book your tickets today.
