Brisbane street style, fashion news & local designers
Two of the faces of Undress Brisbane: Aicha Robertson and Jazmin Foster-Macready after stomping it out on the runway.
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!
If you have been shopping in Paddington, chances are you will have visited La La Labrobe. After 12 years in the same location, they decided it was time to move (not far, just across the road) to an airy, light filled space in a beautiful Queenslander, decorated with bohemian trimmings. We attended their launch party and were treated to bubbles, Chinese food from Sichuan Bang Bang (the vegetarian fried rice was delicious) and shop-till-you-drop clothing specials.
There were many gorgeous, smiling people at one of my favourite events last weekend, The Finders Keepers market, which took place at the beautiful Old Museum. The markets promote independent designers and artists and it’s great to see so many talented people in one place. Many of the stall holders are selling handmade goods or, if they don’t make their product from scratch, they are able to tell you each step of the process because they believe in sustainability and not having their goods mass produced.
Leaving the store smiling with bags in hands, these ladies just finished perusing the new and vintage clothing and accessories available at Winn Lane store, Sunday Social.
Jess, the owner of Sunday Social (pictured below), is an enthusiastic lady who loves to stock one of a kind pieces that have a unique twist. After initially being part of the Winn Lane markets before the Lane was developed, Jess knew she had to jump on the change to become a tenant when retail spaces became available.
Walking into Can You Keep A Secret at Greenslopes you immediately feel at home. With a warm smile from the staff, funky music and the cool breeze blowing through the gorgeous 1920′s Queenslander house you are instantly transported back to a bygone era.
You can’t go shopping in Fortitude Valley without visiting Principessa whether you are a man or a woman, they’ve got you covered. With brands like Zara McKenna, Fate, Living Doll, Sass and more, you will be spoilt for choice!
