Dexter Simmons - On The Runway @ Art Hearts Fashion NYFW 2017

Even after editing these 25 or so pictures of the DEXTER runway show from Dexter Simmons. I still can't decide how much of this range is wearable; and how much is the pure showmanship that helps sell the shorts, tee shirts, singlets, caps and jackets that are the backbone of Streetwear sales. And I'm not even sure any of this is for sale but I did see a woman in a DEXTER singlet shirt in the queue to go into the show so I imagine the basics will be out there - they are pretty out there already so you certainly wont miss them! Continues below..

I love that Simmons seems fearless in his appropriations, I mean who mixes boxing shorts with Goth? I mean really, who? He's mixing on season Camo, Heavy Metal, Punk, freakey 70's Bubble Gum Card/Astrology, graffics illustrations by Caitlin Mattisson; patches from 1970's icons of rock and well, whatever.. that bondage/batman black jacket and hood - with little ears; was that JUST for GOTHAM? The red lips and fangs motif that appears as patches or large on hats, sleeves, shirts and very large on the back of jackets seems to riff on both the Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Rolling Stones..I certainly hope Simmons gets his trickier pieces off the runway and into the stores. I for one would love to see all these designs out on the street. Check the shots below - Big thanks to White Caviar Life for this superb engagement, go check them out straight after you are done here - Now on with the pictures!

Purvi Doshi at Art Hearts Fashion; New York Fashion Week 2017

Yes the lure of the long haul flight this week sees me in New York for the very first time - yes what a year it has been. Once again I am on assignment shooting for White Caviar Life; though right now that also includes us attending some New York Fashion Week shows which I am able to put out as soon as I can. Yes take an afternoon nap whenever you can, it really helps! But enough of the preamble; tonight we were down at the Angel Orensanz Center in Norfolk Street which is a super funky historic church building. Although there were three parades and a blistering electronic violin performance opening by Sarah Charness; I want to kick off my coverage with the beautiful, colourful and sustainability crafted garments by Purvi Doshi from India. She is a proponent of slow and eco friendly fashion which is certainly something we need a lot more of. The theme for the range was living peacefully together with nature. I thought the hand stitched designs and elaborate embroidery just oh so romantic. But enough of me, here's my shots from the runway so you can decide for yourselves - useful links at the bottom of the page; and more fashion to come, so stay tuned - follow on Facebook too!

Virgin Australia Fashion Festival (VAMFF) 2017

Wednesday 16th March

Front row on the runway, we're loving all the shoes! Everything nice feels like plastic to me. Btw how do you clean flurry shoes? Set on the Next Runway was the UK Show (hence the unusual diversity in skin colour), in the great outdoors! It's five degrees warmer than outside in the hall and so we were glad to be outside. A warm but gloomy day - my kinda day! There's been a heat wave lately.

My favorite item? A navy blazer with white lines. Something practical. I've never bought anything I've seen on runway, I've been inspired by a couple headpieces though. Wedding runway is what I really love.

We came upon the UK Show on tickettek and were delighted to discover it was free! We rarely buy tickets for runway, preferring the performing arts, also I don't get as much value out if it as others. There were also other runways that you could get tickets for if you know someone.

The cheapest runway tickets are $65 though with Optus $45, and there would be other clubs offering discounts too. Only the premium shows have showbags, even at $40 I didn't find it worth it as I wouldn't use most of the products. But if you love runway and the products $30-40 is my ideal price.

The UK show was interesting, while I've never been to the UK I was under the impression that they had asians and Muslims too and not just people who are either black or white? Though we all know runway/media represents the ideal and not the average. After all if you were happy with the way you are, we can't sell you things that will make you "runway ready".

Front row on the runway, first and second row received different showbags, the second smaller and I'm not sure what's inside. We loved that there was two different bags, one for her and one for him! He rarely ever gets anything in the bags :P As they're always for girls.

My perception of Next? Another H&M.

What an awesome idea to spice up a denim jacket! Pins, sequins, pompoms and cheap beads. It's amazing how something so easy can we so awesome.

Fairy floss! In a few shades of purple, I do love purple!

Those three girls spent the entire evening taking pictures of themselves and each other. Though the event was designed to indulge camwhores. I'm surrounded by girls kissed the air and a sea of cameras. I've yet to take many pic as I'm not a selfie person and was deeply offended yesterday when the camera guy at Ted's asked if I mainly took selfies, as my primary use for the camera.

Trending - Monochrome

Something strange, new and wonderful I discovered is that I don't experience outfit envy at mainstream events. Sure I love your dress, but on you and not me. I'm more of a ballgown kinda person.

While we had a glimpse of the next big thing, 360 camera for now they're settling on gifs/animations, though I still prefer polaroids. I feel so lost, I was born in the wrong century and have nothing in common with anyone around me...

Plenty of photo ops with swings, a mirror room, tinsel background. A beer bar, the professor's second favorite. We didn't get into the VIP one this year, but I'm working on it! I mightn't like fashion nor approve though we love being invited places!

The official coffee sponsor, powering the event.

Priceline's four shipping container pop up has transformed into a building! Inside you could get your hair or makeup done, and a new photo area with prints! The latest trends is a roving camera but before that gifs, I prefer Polaroids. Unlike last year there were no showbags, only premium runway ones. So if you're in it for the freebies it's probably not worth going.

Outside there's $2/$5 cash only vending machines. Being 8pm when we got there a lot of things were sold out. There was mainly nude by nature products and two french ones. There was Neutrogeana sunscreen too! At $5 everything was of good value.

The main venue, though there were shows outside and in the car park too.

There were two food trucks, the majority of which are more expensive than in-stores, convenience fee. Burgers and Vietnamese tonight. Skipping dinner for now we went straight to dessert with a $22 platter from Burch and purchase.

Two tubes (smaller than normal) a cake pop and wheel. Loved the ginger and passionfruit tube! A classic and best seller. The cake pop was a pop of salted caramel encased in a ball of white chocolate. Though the highlight and event exclusive was the B&P x Lavazza Coffee Wheel: coffee marshmallow and hazelnut cream sandwiched between chocolate cookies, dipped in Lavazza Prontissimo crunchy milk chocolate.

In this picture there is a screen, live from the show inside.

The gardens of fake grass was a very nice touch and upgrade from last year (just concrete blocks), simple but cheap deco - milk crates with plastic the tops lit inside with battery operated twinkle lights! Damn overhead street style lighting meant stupid yellow glow. This is why you go early and make full use of natural lighting.

What's new? Seating. Live screening on facebook. Priceline's vending machine.
What's gone? Free showbags from Priceline. More interactive activities.
When's the next show? September MSFW at City Square.

Did you go to fashion week? What were your highlights?

VAMFF 2017 - The Fashion Advocate Runway @ Luna Park

Saturday 11th March

March is a month of food (Good Food Month) and fashion, two things that I have yet to see go together. I want to see a runway inspired by food, with each collection accompanying a course/bunch of dishes.

Set at Luna Park one of the events we're going to this year is a show advocating local designs and creations - actually making it locally and not in china/Bangladesh. The Fashion Advocate Runway ..."brings together independent labels from around Australia to showcase the cool, the quirky and the quintessential (word of the year) look of Australian fashion, as well as promote local production and ethical manufacturing". Locally designed and made clothing. If it's like Cue, don't look at the price tag!

Smart people order pizza delivered. This area is an expensive party zone. I wonder if she knows we can see her ass, Sarah says yes, she's been working on that ass and is proud to parade it around me. Me? I'd feel all exposed and nasty, though underwear and swimwear in this century is designed to show it all off.

It's like roller coaster tycoon but no one dies (also a lot smaller) - Charlie on Luna Park

Held at Luna Park we were delighted to attend! We forgot to invite the professor though, who tells me yes he can drink $90+ of drinks, as there was an open bar. There's seats and standing tickets. All seats are called VIP, to make almost everyone feel special XD Reminds me of the circus instead of A-C reserve it was platinum, diamond and A res. Seats are around $90, and include a seat (lol) drinks and a showbag. There were a couple handful of standing spots.

Being fashion the attendees were sometimes works of art themselves! Like pompom girl, I believe she's one of the designers. I have no idea how to make pompoms that dense and all packed together...

While it was a cloudy day, it wasn't cold (I do recall it being summer that week) though the lighting was dull and the 'r' word was forbidden. Above is what the unedited lighting actually looked like on the day.
While there's plenty of drinks there was no food, except a bite of a brownie. For the ticket price I had expected canapes. But at the same time food and fashion seem to be mortal enemies. If you're after the open bar you want to arrive when doors open.

Doors opened at 6.30pm for a 8pm show (it actually started at 8.20pm) and we arrived around 7pm with sushi (an entree). With a drink in hand, Remedy Kombucha and camera in the other we were runway ready! We also bought spare batteries which was a great idea.

BYO Sushi! Any assorted $15 bento. We were disappointed that there were no canapes.

Bras are overrated on runway. We never see them unless a. it's a lingerie show b. it's a wedding show and we're working the dressing rooms.

A sold out show with 300+ seats and 12 designers. There was a bit of everything from the office to bed, and very unique dry-clean only ideas. The show went for 30 minutes which was normal, it's absolutely amazing how much time and work goes into events, much like fine dining just to present something.

Knitted & Winter Ready! I love that Elmer dress, so colourful and fun! Also all the crazy pompoms! How do you wash these things? Dry clean and spot clean only I'm afraid!

One of my favourite collections featuring nipple tape and sprinkles! More designers should do sprinkles, they're so much fun! Playing with colours, textures and fabrics.
The end was a bit abrupt and we were left waiting for an ending, there wasn't one. Instead there was a delay before the organizer accepted flowers. Normally the show ends with all the models doing a walk through clapping, followed by their designers.

After the show we explored the area, the bathrooms were gross so there was a huge regret for wearing a ballgown! They really need to renovate. There was an arcade of games, as well as an retro air stream converted into a snack stand with all the stuff you'd expect. Somehow I'd expected this place is be bigger and more alive on a Saturday Night...

Luna Park by Night. You can check out all the pictures here.

I love showbags! They're actually my favourite part of any show, I don't care much for fashion (a friend invited me) as they never show things from other centuries and era. And there wasn't any food at this event.

What's in this bag? A lot of spend and save vouchers, a couple notebooks, hair gel, those nail filers (in a matchbook), a bite of a brownie (more packaging than product), hair spray (?) ad my two favourites: a tape measure (that now lives in my bag) and candle - I love candles!

We had a fun time at the runway at Luna Park, and look forwards to many more shows and events to go! Do we support local fashion? Nope, it's not affordable, though we mightn't be the target market there. I do support local art those, especially fun brooches on etsy!

Art & Breast Awareness - KUDOS & M2 Galleries.

In the interest of avoiding upsetting anyone too much - one hopes, with our first post for 2017 - I will point out very early on that the awareness at the joint show at KUDOS was of a very different nature to the underground comix art type of breast awareness at the group show at M2 gallery. Space 1, KUDOS was (on NOW) Bec Litvan's BEAUTY AND THE BREAST; Painting, Photography, beautiful decorative Mastectomy Bras and a table of pearls as part of the installation. Bec told me the work was born out of the change she saw in her mothers personality after the breast cancer operation, the works are intended to bring back the beauty and a sense of the joys of life, and her mum modelled for the photographs in the show. Beautiful work. Scroll down to continue reading.

COLLUSIVE MISCELLANY by Amy Claire Mills, Bailee Lobb is not about breasts however it is a work performed in the nude so-to-speak, while interacting with the large wind blown fabrics which have themselves been manipulated through tying & heat - even the fans blowing did nothing to diminish the heat of this performance of which there are to be three more iterations; Live performances in space 2 : Saturdays 14, 21 & 28 January, 1-2pm. Check it out!

Was it a strange coincidence to be at M2 the very next night? GORO a group show of five artists who, as mentioned above are very much in the style of the underground Comix of the 70's & 80's; think Charles Burns, Robert Crumb & H R Giger but with an Aussie-Goth/Surf Culture tie in.. And the breasts? Well of course, Dominatrix style and plenty of them. I must admit I rather enjoyed this show and it was a great and friendly crowd for the lens of Street Fashion Sydney too. GORO on now with, CAL SINO // ZIGENDEMONIC //QUARTZVII // NERDGORE // SAMSON at M2 Gallery, Click Here for more details - on until the 17th of January.
