Brisbane Shopping - Shop
SHOP is your guide to boutique fashion and retail in Brisbane, featuring pop-up shops and other places that are so hard to find that Google doesn't even know about them yet. SHOP attempts to open your minds, hearts and wallets to the plethora of things that you can probably live without but in actuality don't want to. Clothes, jewellery, books, bikes, bags, shoes, bags that look like shoes - SHOP gives new meaning to the superficial - wait, we're confused.
Violent Green no.2
Setting sail in 2003, geared in just a tiny little rowboat - we're pleased to say that eight years later, it looks like Violent Green have officially conquered Brisbane's high seas. Following up the massive success of their first store, the forever-quirky Violent Green delivers us small town folks some good news: they've opened up a sister store in the Fortitude Valley.
The Outpost
Whether you're a new-born fixie fanatic, or still live by "skate or die" - it doesn't matter what sort of wheels you're repp'n in this town, as long as you've checked out the threads offered in Brisbane's own cultural goldmine, The Outpost.
Secluded down an alleyway off Ann St, flagged down with a pirate flag and a wooden tree at its door, The Outpost is the little brother of renowned fashion boutique, Blonde Venus.
Antenne Books
When trawling through the nets looking for sites to buy cool art magazines to strategically place on your coffee table, it's way too damn often that independent publishers' websites are arty to the point of obscurity - most of the time you can't tell what's inside any of those magazines until you get them.
Brave New World: Chronicles Of Never end of season sale
Set in 2540AD, Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World is one that has fascinated people to no end. In describing a society that revolves around reproductive technology and sleep-learning, people who've read the book are more than determined to find out just how valid Huxley's ideas are. But the game of patience is a tough one - especially when we won't find out for another 530 years.
Blonde Venus
Thea Basiliou was there when Brisbane's fashion scene was born. She nurtured it, fed it, put up with it's tantrums, held it's hand through the tough times, smiled along with it through the good, and basically raised it as her own.
For the last 20 years, the unofficial matriarch of Brisbane's rag-trade and her beloved boutique store, Blonde Venus, have served this city proud as two of our most treasured fashion icons.
Trash Video is closing down
Remember the first time you saw Ichi the Killer? Or Taxidermia? Or the time your housemate bought home that much sought after Jodorowsky box set and started performing weird rituals like getting naked (with other people) in their room? These films were probably all rented from Trash.
Though it's sad, saying goodbye to a cultural institution doesn't always come with this many pluses.
BoxVintage 5th Birthday Half Price Sale
Five is such a nice age. You're old enough to know a thing or two, but still naive enough to belief in fairytales, Santa Claus and the value of money escapes you. It's a good thing that BoxVintage are still believers and this weekend, it's their big 5th birthday! Being the kind of five year old that knows how to have fun; to celebrate they're throwing a big dress-up party (with all the clothes for sale) and inviting their friends around for a sale at unbelievable prices.
