The fleet store is now open in Queen Street Mall's newly refurbished Wintergarden.

This three month pop up venture will be run by Queensland University of Technology (QUT) fashion and business students, with the support of Creative Enterprise Australia (CEA).  fleet will showcase emerging design talent from past and present QUT students, as well as CEA mentees.

As an artisan retail space, fleet aims to recreate the studio environment, inviting customers to share in the creative process.  Designers to be stocked include Juli Grbac, George Wu, QUT student Kate Stein, and Brisbane Fashion Festival Australian Graduate of the Year finalists Jeremy Gillis and Robin Taggart.

fleet store will be managed by QUT's inaugural graduates of the double degree in Fine Arts (Fashion Design) and Business.

fleet store's major sponsors are Brisbane Marketing, the Wintergarden and Artichoke Magazine (a coolden favourite).
