Surrealists at Play - Dali Sculptures LAUNCH at Billich Gallery

Last night saw a glittering launch party for The Dali Universe sculpture show at Billich Gallery the Rocks in the very heart of Sydney. A great venue for a Dali show as painter Charles Billich has, like Dali, always listened to his own voice and moved to the beat of a different drum. Lucky guests mingled with hosts Charles and Christa Billich whilst enjoying a live piano performance and those great Dali sculpture editions - and the additional presence of Andy Warhol!!! Well I wasn't expecting that! Andy was in fact actor Boguslaw Szpilcazak who is currently appearing as the puppet master of Pop Art, Andy Warhol in the play The Trial Of Dali, and stayed very much in character all night;. Great to see Charles signing a book for him at the end; I wonder who he made the inscription out to?

Street Style - Roof of Milan Duomo

Yes everyone does dress better in Milan. Even for a trip to the top of the justifiably famous Duomo, or in English, the Milan Cathedral. Houndstooth check jacket, black pants, white runners and tee - a perfect black and white story for the white marble location that is the Duomo! Terrific menswear style; thanks for the shot on a lovely Italian autumn afternoon.
