Brisbane street style, fashion news & local designers
There was a huge variety of fashion showcased by Brisbane’s emerging designers at the RAW Brisbane, Awakening event. From the theatrical costumes of Lotusdevi Designs, who’s models had big hair and even bigger personalities, to the soft, flowing eco-friendly garments of Juzu to the corporate women’s wear of The 400 Co., there was something for every taste!
As usual this is just a sample of what was on offer, so make sure you get to the next RAW event to see it for yourselves!
The energy of youthful exuberance and the creativity of Brisbane’s emerging fashion design and art scene is what makes RAW Brisbane an amazing event. The last RAW Brisbane for the year did not disappoint with an animated short film screened at the beginning of the night, musicians rocking out on stage, finishing with a fashion runway showcasing talented local designers.
The 2013 Brisbane International Film Festival (BIFF) has started and there is such an amazing array of international films on offer that I spent several hours reading the program and debating with my sister about which films we are going to see. One of the films that would interest any fashionista is an American film by director Matthew Miele called ‘Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf’s‘.
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!

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.

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!
It has been over 10 years since I last attended the Ekka, so when I was invited to have a day of adventure with fellow Brisbane blogger, Ashleigh (www.theblondesilhouette.com.au), I knew I couldn’t pass up the chance to rediscover my inner child.
