I am so excited about this project by QUT Creative Enterprise Australia (CEA) I can’t even begin to explain. Ok, so I am a Creative Industries student, but this doesn’t hamper the magic The Fleet Store will weave for Brisbane’s fashion scene. CEA is doing sensational things by giving up-and-coming creatives both the chance and support to achieve their dreams. CEA www.creativeenterprise.com.au establishes, develops and grows business in the creative industries, and this time around is collaborating with QUT Fashion and the Wintergarden www.wgarden.com.au to showcase Brisbane designers at a new pop-up concept store - The Fleet Store.

Pop-up stores are all the rage at the moment and The Fleet Store will play host to Brisbane designers like George Wu www.georgewu.com.au and Francis Leon www.francisleon.com, as well as QUT Fashion students both past and present. I have a number of friends participating in the initiative, and it’s so fantastic to see their phenomenal talents housed in one of Brisbane’s most established retail destinations. I know they’re ridiculously gifted - but you all need to know too!

The Fleet Store is popping up from 1 August to 30 October in the Wintergarden in Brisbane’s Queen Street Mall. Pay them a visit and get behind some of Brisbane’s best emerging designers.
