About Art Last Night - Keith Haring @ NAS

I bet that got your attention, Keith Haring at the National Art School. Well sort of, I mean look at this great Keith Haring print dress, or skirt and top, plimsolls, and not sure if you can make it out at this size, I mean I only saw it when I was editing the shot, a yin/yang necklace; spotted and photographed at the launch of 'Greyscale' in the new and very lovely Rayner Hoff Studio.

There was also the Honours Painting 2015 LSG show on in the stairwell gallery also at NAS, certainly one of the more enjoyable shows that I have seen in that space, well worth a look in.

I don't think any joke is intended with this  site specific work but how many times do we look at something and think, "well that's a ready-made work of art right there.." brilliant! Must say I have admired these niches before, this one upstairs and the 'trap' pictured below was in the corresponding niche downstairs.

I think this art piece by Matt Peet must be one of the funniest and clever art works I have seen in a long time, don't take the money its a trap, the highway to art hell? For me I immediatly thought of Meret Oppenheim's teacup which was a whole career in one artwork!

Pattern Crush 'n' Crushed - Street Fashion Sydney by Night.

What can I say; if you got it CRUSH IT with tribal geometry and abstracted animal print with a Pom Pom scarf to go and asymmetric ear-ring wearing. Winter I see you and you ARE defeated! All happily done in a nice monochromatic manner; I wonder who her lecturers are?  Spotted at the opening of LANDSEASKY at NAS, the National Art School Sydney, the last independent art school..

Black Lace and Sandstone at the NAS Darlinghurst..

I grabbed this twilight shot of 'self style' blogger Vivienne Shui at the Emporio Armani - National Art School - Postgraduate show a couple of weeks back. OK a little more than a couple of weeks back! A dedicated blog post is coming I promise! It's just around the corner, really.. Love the old sandstone buildings of NAS, love Vivienne's black lace dress and love that Emporio Armani are sponsoring ART in Australia - more about that too in the net blog post; for now here's Vivienne and her is her blog if you would like to follow her too at vivalaViv.

Men's Spring Style - Lightweight jacket Stripes and Hat..

This great Spring/Summer men's outfit was spotted on Thursday evening at the Emporio Armani National Art School Postgraduate Exhibition 2013 (more on the NAS PostGrad show and Emporio Armani liaison coming in a separate post soon).. Love the hat, the colour contrast highlighted with the red bandanna, or neckerchief if you prefer.. the unstructured jacket, jeans with rolled cuffs and brogue-ish boots and a man-bag tote for all your stuff; a perfect blend of creative casual styled just right.

Being Born Again, RAFW Prequel...Hallelujah!

Art & Fashion mixed it up big time in this designing duos x 10 Couture collabo extravaganza at NAS, the National Art School last night in Sydney. As I think you my wonderful readers are fully aware by now. Most of the 'street style' I blog about here usually happens when I am out at art openings; personally I think this is just fine as the art crowd usually have a mind of their own & tend to do things a little differently anyway. So  last night at the NAS where I have attended many memorable openings (one of my most memorable experiences was beating author & art critic Robert Hughes to the very last glass of red wine one night by the slimmest of margins), was an event stylish, fun and quite I think outside of the usual.

We knew we were in for a stylish night right off the bat when we saw one of the shows Creative Directors Emily Fitzgerald in a stunning dress (which I shall describe later) and the most serious set of door people I have ever seen at an NAS opening. There was going to be no sneaking into this show!

And so it was that even though I had asked exhibiting designer & photography client of mine Shadi Tambrchi of Lulu in Chains if she could 'get me in' unfortunately this was a strictly +1 event. I even asked Emily a few weeks ago at another opening if she could slip Street Fashion Sydney a press pass only to find out I had left it too late, the event was already over subscribed. Fortunately, Freelance Stylist/FashionWriter/Editor extraordinaire (and personal friend) Rhiannon Bulley had a +1 press pass for Tangent Mag. And so it came to pass that a handbag I was to become, or at least a friend that could carry one.

Rather than doing the oh-so-boring thing of putting a picture up with the designer info below it I am going to give you all the the link to the 'Being Born Again' website (navigate to the Artist/Designer Collabbo page) and see if anyone out there; can can guess/see/work-out which dress belongs to who. I think the (mildly blurry atmospheric) shots contain all the clues you need; the magic link is HERE.

But enough already, on with the show!

So there are your nine Designer/Artist Collabo shots (the 10th is the Jewellery)
Lets see how you go & in about a week I will post the who is who under the shots in informative style.

And as I promised a few words about Emily's dress which as you can see has a face on the front. This dress was causing quite a stir due to the nature of its extremely low cut back. I am not sure if many people noticed but I fancied I could see a face on the back as well! But it was not just the dress it was a combination of the lowness of the cut of the back which made a deep scoop like a smile way down south, if you can imagine for a moment two cheeks together and a line a little like a tiny nose and two petite dimples just above and there you have it; a smile a nose between the cheeks and a pair of eyes. A very daring look but Emily pulled it off with complete Panache. I guess when you have been a Vogue cover girl you just do it! Perhaps surprisingly this was one picture I was a little worried about taking with my camera so you will have to create the vision in your minds eye instead.

Enjoy the shots, visit the Being Born Again website for lots more information about the project. And please post your thoughts about the show in the comments section below.

Thanks to Emily, Davina Reichman, the Designers and Artists and all the people who made the show happen. Congratulations on a great show, lets do it all again next year.
