About the competition

The Myer Fashions on the Field enclosure at Flemington will be buzzing during the Melbourne Cup Carnival as hundreds of fashion hopefuls compete in Australia’s most prestigious outdoor fashion event.

Now in its 49th year, Myer Fashions on the Field returns with categories for Women’s Racewear, incorporating state winners from the National Competition, Men’s Racewear, and the invitation-only Design Award and Millinery Award competitions.

As part of the National competition, State Finals are held in NSW, QLD, TAS, SA, and WA, where the winners will then travel to Melbourne to compete in the national final on Crown Oaks Day.

Celebrities, VIP guests and enthusiastic fashionistas will don their best racewear and head to the stunning two-story enclosure in its traditional spot on the East End of the public lawn for all the Myer Fashions on the Field action.

The glamorous enclosure will host catwalk parades on AAMI Victoria Derby Day, Emirates Melbourne Cup Day and Crown Oaks Day, with a world-class line-up of expert judges from the fashion industry.

Men have the chance to strut their stuff and share in the spotlight on AAMI Victoria Derby Day when the Men's Racewear competition is held.

All contestants in the Victorian Women's Racewear and Men's Racewear competitions during the Melbourne Cup Carnival (this does not apply to interstate competitions) are strongly encouraged to pre-register their interest to ensure inclusion in the competition.

The "invitation-only" Design Award and Millinery Award will again bring a touch of the catwalk to Flemington in 2011, with all heats and finals presented as choreographed fashion parades. The Design Award will be held on Emirates Melbourne Cup Day and the Millinery Award will be held on Crown Oaks Day.

The Design Award showcases the talents of Australia's finest racewear designers. In 2011, there will again be a real focus on stylish innovative racewear.

So, come and express your own sense of racing style and be a part of the thrilling, beautiful and ever-changing fashion fest that is Myer Fashions on the Field at Flemington.
