Brisbane's premier destination for all things art, the Gallery of Modern Art is showcasing the 30-year trajectory of a culture that knows a thing or two about unique fashion design. Now showing, Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion will chart the transformation of Japanese fashion design from the 1980s until today. We're talking the weird and the wonderful, from street wear to haute couture. These are the cutting-edge Japanese fashion designers who experimented with genres and influences to create a sartorial scene quite unlike any other.

Thanks to Brisbane's Airtrain, we are offering one lucky entrant two free return flights to Brisbane from either Sydney or Melbourne. Included is return travel with Brisbane's Airtrain, the premier rail link connecting Brisbane Airport to the city; two nights of accommodation; and two guest passes to see the one-of-a-kind exhibition at GOMA.

Airtrain is the fastest, most efficient and affordable way to get from Brisbane Airport to the heart of the Brisbane CBD, and it takes you there in 20 minutes flat. Hard to beat in terms of simplicity, comfort and punctuality, Airtrain runs every 15 minutes during peak hours and every 30 minutes during non-peak periods. To ensure bookings runs smoothly, Brisbane's Airtrain has introduced an iPhone app for travellers on the go offering easy access to mobile tickets when entering and exiting an Airtrain station. To sweeten what is already a pretty sweet deal, there is a 10 percent discount for all advance online bookings, as well as great web group fares offering substantial discounts for groups of two or more.

Your accommodation for this trip is a one-bedroom apartment at sleek, four-star Mantra on Edward, located only 200 metres from Central Station, where you'll hop off the Airtrain in Brisbane's CBD. You will be on the doorstep of some of Brisbane's best cafes, restaurants and bars and a short walk from the Brisbane River at Eagle Street Pier as well as the shopping district Queen Street Mall. Or you can just stay in your hotel and enjoy the pool and sauna.

Future Beauty: 30 years of Japanese Fashion will be running from November 1, 2014, until February 15, 2015 at the Gallery of Modern Art. Thanks to Brisbane's Airtrain, Mantra Hotels and GOMA, one winner will get to go on this holiday with a friend, enjoying:
