Returning for another year on Thursday, 24th October, QueensPlaza held its annual soirée, exclusive to VIP customers and guests. Hosted in partnership with Singapore Airlines, Mercedes-Benz Brisbane, Opera Queensland, and RUSSH Magazine, QueensPlaza invited VIP customers to enjoy an exclusive after-hours evening filled with fashion, food, entertainment—and of course, shopping.
Luxury retailers on the Ground Floor and Australian designers on Level 1 kept their doors open well into the evening, allowing guests to peruse new season collections and pick up the latest pieces they had their eye on. Kicking off at 7 PM, guests arrived to ever-flowing bottles of Moët & Chandon, delicious canapés, and a dessert by Tessa Boersma.
Throughout the evening, Australian journalist and television presenter Kendall Gilding (dressed in Rebecca Vallance) was on hand to emcee, while DJ Eve Speciall (also dressed in Rebecca Vallance) from Sydney was on the decks. The Huxleys, a formidable performance art duo, roamed the event in different costumes, taking photos and posing with guests.
