Celebrating the work of young Brisbane creatives, The Fleet Store is always a short and sweet fashionista haven.
This year's ten day pop-up fashion boutique is the fourth annual for the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Transforming the Billiard Room at the QUT Gardens Point Campus into a modern and inviting shopping destination, QUT dual degree students studying a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Fashion) and Bachelor of Business will display their range just like they would in a store.

Since The Fleet Store's inception in 2010, it has become renown for providing a platform for emerging designers to present their work to the public for the first time. It also allows the public access to unique or one-off designs.

Supporting the emerging fashion designers and creatives in Brisbane, the collections include accessories, garments, artwork and zines from current QUT students, staff and alumni, including SOOT by Edwina Sinclair and Holly Ryan jewellery.
The Fleet Store will launch on Friday 12th September and run until the 26th at the Old Government House building on the Gardens Point campus of the Queensland University of Technology campus.
