Brisbane’s creative industries have received some much needed PR/recognition in this month’s Monocle magazine. The feature article encompasses Brisbane’s overall creative growth, focusing primarily on the city’s local architectural talent. You can also find a short interview with Mayor Campbell Newman, discussing the council’s plans of handling Brisbane’s future growth with a design-conscious mindset.
The article was written by Katrina Blowers and complimented with photography by Tammy Law – both Brisbane locals. While I was a little disappointed that the words themselves were written by one of our own, it’s obviously still positive to see it grace the pages of Monocle.
Whilst on the topic of Brisbane itself, I’ve only recently come by the plans for the development of the Howard Smith Wharves. This could be a great step forward in the development of the city, granted it’s thought out and executed properly (unlike the Chinatown Mall). Find out more info here.
If you’re after a copy of that Monocle issue you can grab it at the APTMNT store, among many other selected (but not as good) stockists.

Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Apartment store’s VIP Christmas event. The night featured new shirts from their own in-house label known as APTMNT, the stocking of Inventory magazine (formally known as h(y)r collective), free beer and great company. This year has really marked an evolutionary period for the store as they have graciously evolved into more of a classic, clean cut men’s street wear outlet stocking internationally renowned labels such as A.P.C., Comme des Garçons, Head Porter and the much sought after Monocle magazine.
It’s taken me a while to write this as I’ve been in hiding out in Melbourne for some much needed time off. While I was down there I couldn’t help but notice how Apartment stood tall amongst some of the best retail experiences I witnessed from down South. Whether it’s the service, the amazing fit out of the store or simply the clothes that are carefully chosen to grace the racks of this Brisbane retail gem – it truly is worth a visit.
They’ve just launched their brand new online store which is well worth checking out but if you’re in Brisbane yourself then a personal visit to the store should surely be in order.
