The 1975 should visit the ... 'FUTURE BEAUTY: 30 YEARS OF JAPANESE FASHION' EXHIBITION AT THE QUEENSLAND ART GALLERY , GALLERY OF MODERN ART (QAGOMA) ... in Brisbane.
↳ Location: Gallery of Modern Art, Cultural Precinct, South Bank, Brisbane — Click here for a map.
↳ Description: One of the things that The 1975 and I share in common is a love for Japanese fashion designer Rei Kawakubo and her legendary label Comme des Garçons – Matty, George and Ross are pictured above in pieces from her brand PLAY, released in 2014. Conveniently, the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane is currently holding a wonderful exhibition that showcases nearly 100 garments from Japanese fashion designers from the early 1980s to the present day, spanning all possible categories and styles imaginable. A snippet from QAGOMA's website reads:
... This will be a fascinating experience and rare opportunity to view these unique creations first hand.
Japanese fashion made an enormous impact on world fashion in the late 20th century. Designers such as Issey Miyake, Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto revolutionised the way we think of fashion today.
... Curated by eminent Japanese fashion historian Akiko Fukai, Director of the esteemed Kyoto Costume Institute in Japan, this exhibition explores the unique sensibility of Japanese design, and its sense of beauty embodied in clothing.

Having recently viewed the exhibition myself, I can confidently say that it is a wonderful display of skill and style; I thoroughly enjoyed my time both in the exhibition as well as the gallery itself. For a band that is so incredibly innovative in their musical style, concepts and image, it would be the perfect way to spend their time in Brisbane.
↳ Venue location: The venue closest to me is The Marquee in Brisbane.
Note: Thank you very much for reading my entry. These lads and their music has helped me through an awful lot for more than 2 years now, I've treasured even thinking about the fact that I might be able to thank them for doing what they do best face to face :D
