RAW
It was a night full of artistic magic
and impressive performances.
The annual RAW showcase
was held on the 29th January
at The Met Brisbane with
artists from all genres in each
showcase. RAW is a worldwide
phenomenon where creatives
of all shapes and sizes come
together to celebrate their work.
It runs from early February to
October and tours 60 major
cities all over the world ending
in Hollywood for RAWards.
The first thing you notice
when you walk in is the buzz
of energy and excitement in
the air. Masses of local talents
including artistic film, fashion,
music, visual art, hair, makeup
and performance art where all
there to showcase their work. It
was indeed an extravagant affair
with talents coming together to
form a “circus of creativity” as
the directors of RAW have put it.
There was a unique blend of
fashion from talented designers
showing off their elaborate
collections. Cassandra’s Closet
by Cassandra, a designer
from Ipswich, specialises in
corsets, alternative clothing
and formal wear. Her collection
that was showcased at RAW
was inspired by the romance of
the Victorian era and features
many traditional silhouettes.
She told FOM that she likes to
experiment with a lot of different
colours and hoped that the
crowd of RAW would appreciate
the artistic flare to her designs.
