Brisbane street style, fashion news & local designers
This Aje dress combines texture & tone with pale, elegant sequins and tough black spikes.
It was a flurry of sparkling garments and beautiful people at the recently opened Aje boutique in Westfield Carindale where, during a VIP night hosted by Westfield, they celebrated their debut with a VIP launch party.
November is here and there are some great Brisbane fashion events you won’t want to miss including the final heat of Capulet Bar’s Fashion Fridays, Finders Keepers handmade markets and the final RAW showcase event for 2013!
Attending a fashion show with these two lovely ladies, Ashleigh from The Blonde Silhouette and Amber from Fashion Avenue is always a pleasure! We were treated to front row seats at the Brisbane Designer Fashion Show, in the historic Old Museum with its warm wooden floors and high ceiling. The fashion show was put together by Niki Teljega who’s label, of the same name, closed the show with her couture gowns.
Showcasing a wealth of Australian talent on the runway with designers like La’Or, Charlie Brown, Lipoa Threads and Erin Hassall Designs. With an abundance of flowing summer dresses in bold prints and sparkling evening gowns, this was a feast for the eyes!

Predress could not have prepared you for the 2013 Undress Brisbane sustainable fashion runway. It was an eye opening evening, with 3 runway sessions to fill, Undress Brisbane brought out amazing designer after designer.
Runway 1 featured street wear, runway 2 showcased delicate intimates and comfortable sports wear and for the finale, runway 3 showcased gorgeous evening wear.
Designers, bloggers, photographers and fashion lovers attended Heat 3 of Capulet Bar’s Fashion Fridays. As with each heat you can vote for your favourite designer on the Fashion Fridays at Capulet Bar Facebook page.
There is one more heat to come in November with the grand final in December. The designers are competing for a deal with Pretty Please Boutique, flights to Sydney for MBFF 2014 and the production of a new season look-book, all costs covered. So make sure you show your love by voting!
Ashleigh McCallum of The Blonde Silhouette and designer Jessica Tovey.
Showing off her trademark leather garments and edgy tailoring, Jessica Tovey’s designs were the most structured and appealing to my love to slightly androgynous fashion. Her collection is created locally using luxurious fabrics and quality craftsmanship.
October is here and there are some great Brisbane fashion events you won’t want to miss including Capulet’s Fashion Fridays, GOMA talks and the Undress Brisbane runway show!

RAW Brisbane is a platform for emerging creatives to showcase their talents. Whether you’re into fashion, photography, art, dance or music – there is something to inspire everyone at RAW. This is the second time BNE Style has attended RAW, (the RAW Generation showcase was the last time) and the calibre of artists and performers was just as amazing as last time!
Get ready Brisbane because Predress was Undress Brisbane giving us but a small taste of the full sustainable runway show coming on Saturday, October 12!
Featuring the likes of the gorgeous ‘faces of Undress Brisbane’ (pictured above), Predress was attended by fashionable people who sipped delicious cocktails, saw sustainable fashion on the runway, browsed designer stalls and were treated to live music!
