Rising 5

Photobucket

Rising 5, an exhibition of 3D photography and video installations of work by nine new and established designers opened last night at aMBUSH gallery. Curated by Melbourne art directors and stylists Simone Ling and Izabel Caligore the event features work by Madam Virtue & Co, Lui Hon, J'Aton Couture, Metal Couture, Cami James, Nadia Napreychikov, Ellison, Richard Nylon and Dhini. The 3D effect of the prints in the space had an almost Tazo (remember those) holographic feel.

Unfortunately capturing the 3D effect was near on impossible. Here you see Nadia Napreychikov from Discount's work.

The best part of the night was that my friend Lauren surprise visited us in Sydney, my first visit of its kind but by far the best type of visit. Seriously giddy with excitement at the fun we are going to have this weekend.

In town from Melbourne the curator, Izabel in orange, and her friends were the best dressed of the night.

I can't get over the epicness of their shoes.

You can kind of see the 3D effect in this shot.

More amazing shoes, the wearer picked them up on sale in New York at Opening Ceremony for $150.

Lauren works her Japanesey kooky style to perfection.

Her bleached eyebrows look unreal.

Izabel always looks amazing.

Its all about the shoes, such a statement piece.

  1. While it's great to see so many events on at the moment, it makes it nigh on impossible to see everything. I'm going to have to make an exception however and get to this exhibition before it closes.

  2. I love these shots! Aussie fashion never ceases to amaze me, especially Melbourne, but glad to see so much cool stuff happening in Sydney too..

    And I totally know what you mean! I liked your friends style the best before I even noticed it said something about"kooky Japanese style." Haha. I totally get what you mean by that by the way...haha.

    And the platform shoes are great. I think one of Tavuchi's shop staff was the first to start wearing those again and I think "Nadia" in Harajuku is also credited for starting that trend back up. Doesn't take long to hit AUS that's for sure. Great shots Hayley!

  6. I love the creepers!!! I really want a pair - I can imagine the platform would be so comfortable + extra height is always a plus. Lauren's backpack is tres cute ^^

    I recently went to an exhibition where the 3d effect was also used - it's mesmerising to stand in front of the image and sway to see it move.
