Fashion: Punk to Pakistan

Boys and Girls are Choice

Exams are over, pencils tidied and library books returned, which means it's time for QUT's fashion graduates to don their best frocks and tails and walk their collections down the runway! This year's show entitled, Six, sees each designer debut a collection of six pieces, with inspiration for the designs internationally eclectic. Designer Sally Edwards says her androgynous collection, Boys and Girls are Choice, is aimed at "new punk" mixing tartan with the "sartorial elegance of a well-made suit". "Referencing suits and styles throughout history, I want to use these guidelines of menswear to create a collection that can be word by either men or women," she says. Opening night was last night and closing night has already sold out! But luckily, the creative folk behind the parade planned ahead for your silly season, book-in-advance forgetfulness and there's still a whole chunk of tickets left for your spontaneous attendance tonight and tomorrow. You can even bring a friend for free! Bargain!

Fashion Swap

Well, it's that time of year again - QUT's Fashion Swap is on this evening. This is an awesome opportunity to recycle your clothes and pick up some new ones for free... Good for the environment and your bank account!

All you need to do is have a little spring clean and find up to five items you are willing to set free. Bring them along to The Glasshouse at QUT from 10am and then get your searching boots ready for an evening of rummaging! At 6.20pm it's every fashionista for him/herself as you scurry about for the golden goods. Ready, steady, swap!
