QueensPlaza set to launch ‘Uncovering The Brisbane Look’ documentary via Junior
QueensPlaza is set to launch an inspiring documentary film exploring and celebrating Brisbane style titled ‘Uncovering the Brisbane Look’ via Junior.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Hailey Bartholomew, ‘Uncovering the Brisbane Look’ is local in flavour but national in significance binding the collective passion, creativity and nous of Brisbane’s thriving fashion industry.
Former Vogue editor and best selling author Kirstie Clements takes the reigns as executive producer, narrating this film that’s about celebrating all that is brave and brilliant about Brisbane life and style.
Over countless months of production, the documentary has gathered the insights and contributions from some of the biggest names in Australian fashion, art and popular culture.
Says Bartholomew: “It was rewarding filming the documentary, viewers can expect to be inspired and proud of the Brisbane community. It was heart-warming just how supportive and encouraging everyone in the Brisbane fashion industry was of one another.”
Says Clements: “As it unfolded it was wonderful to find that style in Brisbane was about much more than just fashion and what they wore.”
Style heavyweights interviewed especially for ‘Uncovering the Brisbane Look’ include Easton Pearson’s Lydia Pearson, Sass and Bide’s Heidi Middleton, and Nicky and Simone Zimmerman.
Art meets fashion in the documentary with Amelia Gundelach from the Gallery of Modern Art, art curator Alison Kubler and fine artist Michael Zavros also contributing their views about Brisbane’s art and fashion scene.
Viewers will be treated to footage from the Valentino, Hats and Easton Pearson Retrospective at GoMA, QueensPlaza’s 2013 fashion shoot, Alison Kubler’s Art/Fashion in the 21st Century book launch, and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival among other momentous fashion events that have unfolded in Brisbane.
A truly unique tribute to Brisbane style, ‘Uncovering the Brisbane Look’ will premiere at a private cocktail reception at GoMA on Thursday 27 February.
The public launch of the documentary will take place on Monday 3 March at the cinema lounge, QueensPlaza.
Customers at QueensPlaza will also be invited to book in as part of a shopping tour with one of Brisbane’s expert stylists to uncover the Brisbane look for Autumn Winter 2014. Bookings can be made at www.queensplazashopping.com.au.
