Supported by the highest calibre of globally recognised speakers and brand visionaries, One Fine Baby sets to provide visitors with an exclusive insider’s look into the world of retail and design, offering a hub of design activity and a place to hunt for the latest trends, connect with Australia’s most coveted brands and come up-close-and-personal with design and celebrity sweethearts within an intimate shopping environment.
