Brisbane’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2010 – It’s Upon Us

Begitta Stolk — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 14:18:43 +0000

Brisbane’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is upon us again. With amazing shows and designers presenting there collection to the Brisbane fashionistas, buyers and media in early August 7-13th – As many of the previous years shows have taken place at the Brisbane City Hall, this year the majority will be held at Southbank, Brisbane. Coincidently and quite appropriately home to the hip Emerging Young Designer Markets, held the first Sunday of every month (www.southbankmarket.com.au).

This years shows will feature many established and emerging labels. Our old favourites; Akira, Easton Pearson and Scanlan and Theodore and the new and fresh talent of the Design and Innovation Group will show up and comers like; Jaquiline Buck, Saralli Designs and Benjamin Ringuet.

I personally will be seated front and centre at the QUT “Fashion After Hours” Event – featuring a panel discussion on “Couture – Is it still relevant?” – being an avid follower of Couture and Couturiers alike, I am fascinated by how this discussion will go. I have very strong opinions of what is and isn’t couture and therefore am interested what panellists such as Paul Hunt (Designer), Jonathan Ward (Designer) Margot Riley (Dress historian & curator), amongst the others, have to say on the subject.

It’s sure to be a liberating week on the Fashion Scene of Brisbane. I am looking forward to seeing the new collections of our Brisbane/QLD designers. Having been blown away by the many amazing collections shown at Rosemount Fashion Week Sydney, I highly anticipate what is to be a great year for Brisbane’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
