Making change: Cultivation, connection and community in fashion.

From Brisbane to the world, these industry leaders have established careers that connect creativity and community. Each of our speakers is connected by and to the Brisbane fashion community.

Moderated by fashion researcher and engagement designer Dr Anna Hickey, this special conversation brings together Elaine George, the first Aboriginal model to appear on the cover of Vogue in 1993, designer and fashion academic Kiara Bulley, and fashion and music photographer James Caswell, recently showcased at James Street Up Late.

Making Brisbane: Fashion and retail from the 90s to now.

From the 90s to now, Brisbane's fashion landscape has undergone extraordinary change. New retail precincts, evolving designers and makers, and a backdrop unique in climate and environment.

Hear from three trailblazing industry leaders who have forged a path in Brisbane and beyond over the past 20 years, building our fashion landscape to what it is today and musing on the Brisbane fashion retail industry of the future.
