FORMIDABLE… always a pleasure to catch up with @dominiqueportet - our on location meeting to plot and plan hardly feels like work when you’re checking in with Chef @michaelthemel latest Cellar Door Bistro menu (la perfection) plus how #Vintage24 is tracking for Ben Portet. Watch this space for more from the most French of Yarra Valley wineries.

F**K THE INVISIBLE… a special treat to be the guest of @karabakercouture as her designs slayed it on the Premium Runway of @melbfashionfestival marking #internationalwomensday — facing directly into the perception that women become invisible as they age. F**k that indeed… and bravo to Q friend @juliegoodwincouture too, as well as other Australian designers featured @bandedtogether_official @gailsorronda @perplewomen @viceta_wang @thisisverner Joyous night all round!#QStrategiesagency #Qtribe #karabaker #karabakercouture #melbournefashionfestival #melbournefashion #melbourneiloveyou

PARTY IN ROOM 1106… kicking off 2024 #worklife officially launching @hotelindigopottspoint — a new style boutique hotel embracing its locale tucked behind the iconic Coco-Cola sign with a cheeky nudge and a wink.

YES CHEF… there’s a new chef + new menu @lamadonnamelbourne @nextmelbournehotel but with a certain dish remaining (IYKYK) along with the same relaxed sophistication of our favourite city restaurant & bar. Enjoy a peek at what’s on the pass from @chefpaulturner following our shoot with our other favourite, @gregelmsphoto Q tip: don’t miss Paul’s signature pan-fried gnocchi with kimchi, broccoli & fresh curds.#QClient #QStrategies #clevercommunications #melbournePR #nexthotelmelbourne #lamadonnamelbourne #melbournerestaurants #melbournedining

SNEAK PEEK… sharing a hint of what awaits @hotelindigopottspoint — Q’s latest boutique hotel launch project. It’s theatrical, it’s playful and it’s eclectic, just like the Kings Cross neighbourhood it calls home (you’ll find it tucked right behind Sydney’s iconic Coca Cola billboard) Our tips? Pick a vinyl to add to the mood in the lobby (apparently INXS is vintage now), book in to the just opened French Izakaya @lucsansyd by @cheflukemangan that’s right next door and let the team led by @bruceryde and @caitlinwalter share their tips for where else to revel in the Potts Point ‘hood. This one’s going to be fun!

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION…the Q team love helping open new hotels and @hotelindigomelbourne has been no exception. Inspired by the legends of Flinders Lane, this new style of boutique hotel has Helmut Newton as muse, paying homage to fashion photography with a host of works specially commissioned by local artists around every corner.
