This Thursday evening, I will be one of the lucky few to be attending the exclusive screening of "Uncovering the Brisbane Look".  QueensPlaza in association with Mercedes-Benz Brisbane is launching an inspiring documentary film to celebrate Brisbane's style at the GoMA .

Photography: www.photogroup.com.au Q: Tell us a little about this collection? The latest collection is Alluring Couture in natural fabrics and features the colour Pure White representing the source of light and purity.   Q: You split your time between Australia and Korea, do you get your inspiration from your Korean heritage?
