It’s back! This September, TIME (Towards International Medical Equality), a student-run non-for-profit organisation, is once again hosting their annual fashion parade. Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, this year’s theme ‘What’s your fantasy?’ promises to delight fashionistas and industry experts alike.
This event, to be held at the Old Museum in Bowen Hills, will specifically highlight the talents of young local designers, each of whom have developed entirely new collections in honour of this event.
Ranging from established local fashion houses to up-and-coming student designers, this event promises to bring together a wealth of creative abilities, and cater to a wide range of fashion desires.
Featured names include Aimee Kahl, Rhaman Donovan, Allanah Sarafian, Natasha Dearden, Sharon Williams, Nadine of Spitfire Designs, and Teighan & Danielle of Teda Clothing.
Notably, this year’s event will also chart a new and exciting path into the world of vintage, featuring pieces from ‘Box Vintage’. (A company that continues to garner renown as an innovative local fashion house.)

Also with a special performance by Pat and the MedRevue Band.
