RAW Brisbane, Encompass – Emerging Artists & Fashion Designers

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 fashion showcase featured couture garments galore and creative hair styling and makeup making the runway a feast for the eyes. If you missed out on attending RAW this year don’t worry because they will be back in 2014!

These pieces are intricately designed and hand embellished, the fish tail silhouettes and ball gowns made me wish I had a black tie event to attend!
