http://timeuq.org/events/fashion-show/

The TIME Charity Fashion Show will return this August for its sixth year, showcasing some of Brisbane's most influential up and coming and established creative talents in the fields of fashion, music and photography. To be held at one of Brisbane's largest and hottest venues, The MET, the show will profile Brisbane's innovative and eclectic character; while raising funds to purchase essential medical equipment and supplies for struggling medical centres in developing countries.

The show will feature seven collections by:
  • Billabong Designer of the Year, Rhaman Donovan;
  • Holly Ryan Jewellery, a recent QUT Fashion graduate who has blown away the Brisbane fashion scene with her handcrafted jewellery, notably being acquired by exclusive boutique, Blonde Venus;
  • Sunday Social Vintage, a local of the ever vibrant and eclectic Winn Lane;
  • Jacqueline Curran, QUT Fashion graduate and 2012 QUT/Westfield Couture Academy winner;
  • Danni Stonehouse from the Brisbane Arts Theatre, Queensland's longest running community theatre company;
  • Katrina Gaskin, whose 2011 lingerie collection was recognised by QUT as one of their top graduate collections and
  • Kate Anderson, an MSIT graduate touted as one of Brisbane's best emerging designers, storming the fashion community with her mix of classic silhouettes and fantastic new designs.
The show has also collaborated with celebrated photographer, Henry Coughlin. Henry Coughlin was named Queensland Photography Student of the Year in 2011 and since graduating has been recognised with seven Queensland AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photography, Australia's peak body for photography), four national AIPP awards and numerous international awards.

Headling the show are up and coming Brisbane band, Astrid & The Asteroids.  Having released their debut EP this year, the band have just returned from a hugely successful interstate tour and been recognised by Rave Magazine as having "raised the bar stratospherically high".  Supporting them will be underground favourite, Brisbane band, Hven. Emerging from Brisbane's underground music scene this year, Hven have made a big impression on the local scene, taking influence from such bands as The Cure and Daft Punk.
