STILETTO IN THE GHETTO

A first for street style catwalk shows where stiletto meets ghetto!

Set in Brisbane’s cultural hub; Fortitude Valley, the night will include a ‘street style’ catwalk, visual exhibitions, designer auction, pop up bars, free-styling DJ’s, chill out lounge areas and live performances.

Banding together, KAW Marketing & PR, TONIC Architecture & Design and FOLLOW Online have created a unique and exciting way to combine our blessed evening weather, love of the outdoor and partying in the Valley.

Justin from Tonic Architects said they, along with KAW and Follow, wanted to do something different in Brisbane, and find a cool way of supporting the flood relief fund. Kelly from KAW jumped at the chance saying:

“Being in the Valley, you can’t help but appreciate the diversity. I think people are often surprised by the hidden lane ways, businesses and talent found there. I thought this would be a great way to celebrate the community atmosphere and show the incredible talent and creativity right here in our neighbourhood. What better way to do that then through art, fashion, great music and amazing people! ” Kelly said.

Road closure will allow the event to spill into the lanes. With projections onto external walls and live music & DJ’s keeping the crowds entertained.

To kick off the evening Sinead Burgess, a stunning pop/rock Brisbane based artist, will be performing songs from her debut album.

Models from Viviens Model Management - along with some mystery celebrities - will be taking to the runway showing swimwear by Kini Bikini. Other shows will include clothing by SOOT and Young Designers Online. With local retailers including Garnsis Boutique, Fallow, City Dweller and SUBFUSCO, also supporting the event. Auctions of the designer outfits will follow the show.

Host for the evening will be Brooke Lowther (105FM radio announcer, Fox Sport presenter), who will bring a cheeky and fun element to the night. While Hasley Cush of Ray White, New Farm will be brandishing the auctioneer’s hammer.

Other events will include the Redbull battle of the artists - giving us some interesting interpretations of ghetto street art!

The event is free, with proceeds raised from the night (auction and bar) donated to the Flood Appeal.

And as always, Albares beautifully seductive, liquid guitar playing leads the audience on an elegant sonic journey of his fresh and original compositions, reminiscent of a leisurely southern European holiday. Connecting with audiences across the board, from twenty-something hipsters to long time jazz enthusiasts, Albares recent recordings and live performances embrace jazz in its lyrical form, with his style uniquely original to his musical soul, as is evident on Travel Diary.
