Sydney Italian Festival launch party at Doltone House.

Well what a great way to launch a month of all things Italian in Sydney; Prosecco and Peroni, Ferrari, Maserati and Vespa, Italian Food, Italian Fashion, Italian Food, Italian Design, Italian Food, did I mention Italian Food! Of course I did because it is perhaps Italy's most famous export. And while there are those who will argue for the great design work of the Italians and fast beautiful cars, beautiful women and handsome men in superb Italian fashion, Italian fashion. Take your pick! There's a lot to like, then Italian films; Inspector Montalbano; travel to Italian cities and countryside, take a Roman Holliday!  I could go on, I will stop, FOLLOW the LINK to find out more of what's on in Sydney in the coming weeks!

The Top 10 Street Fashion Sydney for 2013..

Are lists in or out? I don't really know and I for one don't really care.. What I do know is that 2013 represented the first full calendar year that I spent shooting Street Fashion Sydney (SFS) with the truly fabulous Fujifilm X-Pro1; the first camera I have ever carried with me very very nearly everyday and  everywhere! As a direct result there were two big changes in the life of SFS from working with this camera equipment (and in my life as well); the number of posts increased and the actual size of a blog post shot up dramatically in terms of the number of images used to tell a story, along with an increase in image quality too. The stories I told here on SFS became more detailed and I believe more engaging for my readers and viewers and while retaining high search results for blog posts, the social sharing this year increased exponentially, confirming I think, the increase in quality and engagement. Now if I can just get you all to sign onto the new SFS Facebook Page as well.. then 2014 is sure to be looking like the best year ever!

So here they are, the top 10 of 2013; the absolutely unique point-of-view of what's happening in Sydney from emerging designers to individuals-on-the-street to major brand launches; all documented in fine detail with Lens and the Pen of Kent Johnson, published and presented on Street Fashion Sydney - please do-share and Enjoy!

Back follows Front - Details Remain Seen..

I don't think I have ever posted a solo 'reverse' view of an outfit before but I could not resist with this shot, this outfit; seen at Black Eye gallery on Thursday night. A perfect Spring ensemble of midnight blue shorts, in a 'dress' running short style! Light linen jacket, essential large bag for your goodies and some stylish matching heels. Of course people just don't look at what you are wearing from in front, the details can also be seen from behind.. And a rather wonderful portrait show, PASSION AND PASSION  - A transparent view of Man by photographer ANDREAS SMETANA; clever without being cliché. Well worth a look http://blackeyegallery.com.au/..

Chippendale Art Precinct - Street Style Art Walk..

Art and artist style is quite literally exploding in Chippendale within what can only correctly be called the Chippendale Art Precinct. A week or so ago I headed out to see a couple of shows and had stummbled across an opening that was not on my list, before I had even begun.. That first gallery was the NG pop-up gallery space at Frasers on Broadway; then it was onto Abercrombie Street for an opening at MOP gallery, around the corner to (or I could have crossed the back lane through their back doors to) Kaleidoscope; then on to MCLEMOI Gallery for David Rankin's Opening Night and book signing; The New York Years... And really that is just the tip of the iceberg, not bad for one evening out. Of course there is also the mega gallery, White Rabbit (hint; there is an opening next Friday the 30th), and plenty more independents like The Commercial; and you can find lots more Chippendale Creatives here.  Check them out, there's lots to see and experience; Chippendale is absolutely on-fire right now!
