L was, as usual running extremely late. Events in the lead up to the exhibition included getting dressed in the car, getting stuck in traffic and falling down the stairs in her hurry. All ended well though with L and her photographer gliding into the packed museum right on 6:30! There was just enough time to grab a drink and stake out a good spot before the speeches started.
Sarah Pauly, the face of the festival and her fellow models opened the exhibition with a beautifully, dark decent down the museums master stairs. Wearing of course, magnificent, delicate creations by the exhibitions artisans.

The exhibition itself is a sight to see. Running from today the 3rd until the 28th of September this showcase of “fashionable” art from some of our most fresh and innovative designers is truly astounding. Bubbles of tule, massive textile sculptures and marshmallow chandeliers have been suspended from the cavernous ceiling. Quirky, macabre doll part jewellery by Leah Tarlo has been arranged in whimsical cabinets filled with curiosities to keep you busy for hours. Leather and bejewelled installations sit side by side, giving the space wonderful contrast.
