The three-day event was previously set to open earlier this month at Lakeside Joondalup Shopping Centre.

Australian shoppers spend an estimated $1 billion on Shein each year as they turn to cheap fast fashion brands amid the cost of living crisis, Roy Morgan research has found.
Those sales have helped Australia overtake the United States as the world's biggest consumer of fashion per capita with the average person buying 56 new items a year, according to the Australian Institute.
