Last night I attended an event at Cloudland called HEAT Fashion. HEAT Fashion showcases the creativity and talent of Queensland’s fashion designers. It highlights their innovative spirit, their fresh approach to colour and style, and their robust individuality. HEAT Fashion aims to open new international and national markets for Queensland’s fashion designers. The HEAT Fashion program raises the profile of Queensland fashion globally and drives an increase in sales.
I attended the event with designer Emily Bitkow, owner and founder of
Be Bitko. Be Bitko is an up and coming label online from Brisbane. At Be Bitko they mix their own uniqueness with global fashion trends, creating edgy pieces that are bold and dramatic, yet completely wearable for day or night and all in between. Be Bitko's concept is to create gorgeous pants, shorts and beautiful bags as a statement accessory in new and even more fashionable ways - in versatile ways where women can carry their valuables while attending festivals, clubbing or travelling. Be Bitko's collections are made out of quality and eco-friendly fabrics, with an added level of practicality.
Such an amazing event and met so many very important people within the industry. It's amazing how even though every designer in their own area of expertise and creativity, they were able to all come together and share their place, ideas and views within the fashion industry.
