Fashique Runway 2nd May
Fashique Runway, led by Cheryl Creed and her team at Kedron Wavell, Chermside, Brisbane, is certainly a fashion event not to be missed.
Cheryl, as founder and director of Murriii Quu Couture, has transformed her vision into a key platform that champions First Nations culture and storytelling.
A sold-out night, with every seat filled, speaks volumes about the show, which featured 14 designers on the runway.
Guests laughed as hosts Sarah Bolt and Natalie Lewis Muckan Tallis opened with witty banter and joked about reading without glasses.
With all formalities complete, the first designer, Lavelle Luxe, opened the fashion show.
Lavelle Luxe, founded by CEO Del-Anne Sturgeon, is a fashion, jewellery, and wellness brand, featuring stunning First Nations designs.
Followed by an array of beautiful gowns and creative works by designers.
Chery’s own designs hit the runway to high-impact music, with this year’s collection, making women feel beautiful in their own bodies.
During the runway, dinner was served classic Australian fare with beef, chicken, and vegetables.
One aspect I particularly appreciated was the location’s convenience, offering an in-house bar where guests could purchase drinks as they wished. This approach, in my view, was thoughtful, as it allowed guests to buy what they needed, rather than paying for drinks they might not consume.
A very tight runway, with models gracefully walking it, whilst I am not a fan of spins and structured choreography on a runway, it did seem to go well.
I was reminded upon entry that fashion is not just for the high end; it is for everyone, from wearable art to everyday attire.
With shows like Fashique Runway, it’s important that they continue to showcase fashion from indigenous designers.
This keeps the fashion industry fresh with diverse designs from across all facets of the fashion world.
A credit to the model coach as each model walked with grace and style, showcasing the designer for whom they were representing on the runway.
Overall, the event was energetic and well-run, ending around 10:30 pm.
On a personal note, I want to sincerely thank Cheryl for inviting me and seating me at her table. I felt truly honoured by this gesture.
