Melbourne or sydney for work as a costume designer?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I live in Australia but not in either Syndey or Melbourne so I hope I am objective with my response.

Melbourne known as a centre for fashion. The city, once a leader in the textile industry, retains a small manufacturing base, but has diversified into the more creative areas of the fashion industry. Melbourne is a major participator in Australian Fashion Week, whilst the Melbourne Fashion Festival is an annual event held in the city. The Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival and Brownlow Medal dinner are seen as being two of the biggest annual red carpet events in the country.

Now having said that Sydney is not to be discounted as a fashion hub. It hosts a number of fashion shows, like the Mercedes Australian Fashion Week and a good number of fashion designers have their headquarters there.
