Think 1930s Shanghai with rich red, silk cheongsams. Think dazzling neon nights amidst a city booming with financial success, opulent ballrooms and old Hollywood glamour. This will bring you closer to imagining the aesthetic of the Queensland Design on Show (qdos) awards gala event, in which the 2008 award finalists will showcase their innovative designs at UQ’s Schonell Theatre on June 13. Themed ‘Red is the New Black‘, qdos will transform the space into a glittering evening of high fashion, red carpets, acrobatics and paparazzi. Judged by some of the finest design and fashion minds in Queensland and Australia, including Tony Gooley of designfront and Thea Basiliou of Blonde Venus, the awards include winners in the categories of three-dimensional design, interior design, visual communication design and emerging student designer.
