Art, fashion and flavours combine at Brisbane Quarter, 300 George Street, with the mesmerising Shape of Water installation, from 22 July to 27 August, 2024.

In celebration of GOMA’s blockbuster exhibition, Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses, Brisbane Quarter has engaged final year QUT Fashion Design students to create eight intricate designs inspired by the acclaimed Dutch designer to be on display on Podium 1.

Experience the beauty of the unique motifs and natural themes used in the designs and enjoy the enticing array of themed beverages and bites on offer from Brisbane Quarter’s renowned restaurants including Persone, Brisbane Phoenix, Phat Boy, Tenya, W Brisbane’s Living Room Bar and more.
