Hysteria @ Maison Bertaux Gallery

This Wednesday, I had the chance to attend the Hysteria art preview at my favourite patisserie in London, Maison Bertaux. To be honest, when I was invited by my friend who works in Maison Bertaux, I didn't expect much as I actually have no idea who are those artist. When I arrived, the first picture that catch my eyes is the collage pop art by Collagism, Aida Wilde and Shuby which has a strong 50's glamour in it.

Since then, I'm sure this gonna be fun! Having a glass of red with some delicious Maison Bertaux's éclair, I browsed though every artwork, and I really amazed by the rich, eye-feasting mix media art (actually quite crowded, I shall say 'squeezing through people and have a glance at art'). Here is my favourite picked.

After that, I went upstairs for the Jeffrey Disaster's artworks presentation. Actually at the window of Maison Bertaux, there is a teapot displayed at the shelf which is one of the work by Jeffrey Disaster. He painted calming, serene face on everything, vase, teapot, cup, music sheets, oil painting, everything! I'm quite fascinating with the impact of those works, it is such a silent bomb I would say. In his art, there is a kind of impact feeling but yet it feels zen. You must go and have a look, and you will know what I mean. Anyway, here is some of my personal favourite.

He cuts real money for this!

This is my favourite!

The exhibition will last until 15th June. You can go to Maison Bertaux, having a relaxing afternoon tea and looking at those artworks. If you like any artworks, you can purchase it, just simply ask anyone in the shop.

London Fashion Week AW14 - Street style.

"Fashion is about something else that comes from within you." - Ralph Lauren.

"It’s a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It’s all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together." - Alexander McQueen.

Again, another post about London Fashion Week, perfect place to bring out your best(or worst) outfits and show it confidently. In my opinion, it should be all about personal style and how you present yourself, even you just wear a tee with a leather jacket, you still can be absolutely stunning. It doesn't need to be a fancy embellished jacket with high-end branded top plus an out-standing Philip Treacy, because your outfits should portrait yourself. But it seems LFW have already given an impression of "different(weird/maximalism) = fashion", which I highly doubt it! Also there are some "quite" similar taste or style... which I'm not so sure is it "individual" or just follow? You will be shocked how much "different" people on set. But anyway, I still enjoy it a lot.

Here is some street-style I like which I took on the day 2 of LFW.

I'm very lucky to work with Sorapol for the SS14 collection, "Tevana", helped with the textile development and some graphic designs. This time, I only helped with a little things but again, I'm lucky enough to be invited to their AW14 show. Here is some backstage photo,

On London Fashion Week AW14, Sorapol launch his first Ready-To-Wear collection, "Malefic". A surrealism, witches inspired collection, which is a very interesting topic.

A dramatic short film opened the show. A witch is tied and screaming, Sorapol came in and stitched sheer on her skin. The witch keep screaming and struggling but it ended with everything in fire. With the start of the music, the witch reborn in fire and turned into a fashion creature. Wearing nothing but the sheer which was sewn into her skin (literally!) by Sorapol. By here, she kicked off the show.

Scales, lizard skin, stingray, lobster, fur, nails, liquid-like fabric, amazing crystal embellishment, all included in Sorapol's "Malefic" collection. All the element for a fashionable queen-like witch, who can rule the kingdom also rule her men. I'm personally love the last piece, a show-stopping piece! Hope you like the collection as i do.

Sanzose.
