Exhibition: Pascal Rousson - Very Ape






"Very Ape" was a solo exhibition by artist Pascal Rousson. His idea was to explore the cavemen's way of life. I was very impressed. This exhibition might not be a total fashion exhibition, though, was very inspiring. I felt that the artist was wanting to bring things back to the origin when he while working on his objectives.

Exhibition: Fred Loves Fashion



Eight designers were invited to make an installation in the gallery:
  1. A Child of the Jago
  2. Bernstock Speirs
  3. Boudicca
  4. Andrea Cammarosano
  5. Sian Hoffman
  6. Kenny Campbell with Nelson Santos
  7. Factoria Rent Me
  8. Omar Kashoura
It was an exhibition with quite strong, shocking displays. First thing I noticed was a dummy sitting on a chair with a fetish outfit on, dark makeup and short hair. It was disturbing but it was interesting to see.



Second display was a stand looking down sadly but very gracefully. It was my favourite out of the bunch. All the broken bits made the whole thing look mysterious and so tough at the same time. It is hard to put into words but somehow I really felt it. I also enjoyed taking pictures and experience the display from different angles.




There was a picture on the wall of a nude body with dark background and a sort of electrical feeling effect. The photo gave me a feeling of a dark, sexual life. I did not feel like it was a few bodies of different people. I felt it was one person but she was lost. She had no heads and the light went straight where her head was suppose to be.
