Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane Group Show 2

Our first real blog for Fashion Brisbane and we want to kick it off with Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane.  This is all about the group show 2 which in our opinion was the best show you could go to during the week. 

We were a bit disappointed by the location as there was no bar unless you were part of the sponsor lounge.  So no champers before the show with friends : (!  Other than that the town hall is in some serious need of decorator flare but the seating was great! 

There were a few stand our pieces in each collection - The Easton and Pearson's purple dress, yellow harem pants, hats, neck pieces and prints , Akira's White Dress and Camargue's black ensemble.  If we have placed the credit for any piece under the wrong designer please let us know.  However we think we got them all right! 

To end the night we all got napoleon lip gloss - unlucky if you got the black colour!  After all what do you wear with black lipgloss - Dr Martins and Goth black lace dresses?  Don't worry Napoleon was on hand however to explain it to the disappointed lady in front of us, I missed the reason why for black lip gloss, however I don't think he could of convinced me with money to wear it! 

You could have ventured into X&Y to party it up with the underground fashion scene of Brisbane after the show.  We, however chose to spend the rest of the sunday night at Emporium Hotel sipping lattes with good friends in their giant red Queen Chairs.  

We will be attending the Tuesday and Wednesday night festivities with two of the best store owners in Brisbane.  We can't wait to learn from them and hear what they have to say!  

Thats our first wrap up for Fashion Brisbane!
