Six: QUT Fashion Graduate Shows

Overview

Remember when Best Coast came to Brisbane and there was an uproar because Beth was wearing something from Supre? God, I know right, it was totes a hipster faux pas fo sho! I wasn’t even there and I knew about it. Anyway, she wouldn’t have had that problem if she’d come at this time of year – and why? The answer is simple: QUT’s Fashion graduates.

They’ve spent the past few months holed up in studio, cutting patterns, pick-unpicking, shooting lookbooks and more to tie up the ends of their graduate collection… and the results are glorious. This year’s graduates have influences as widespread as the chaotic streets of India to colonial Africa.

The graduate shows run over four nights, with each graduate designer showing six pieces from their collection. By the time ol’ Bratty B comes back to Brisbane for the Big Day Out (unintentional alliteration there), these dudes will have made it big, and she’ll finally be able to find something better than a $10 stretch skirt to wear on stage.
