The Royal Vauxhall Tavern is a dowdy gay boozer in South London – not the most likely of places to be graced by fashion royalty, but last week, Dame Vivienne Westwood put in an appearance and Mooks was there to lap up every word of wisdom which dropped from the yellow-haired Queen’s mouth.
The strange urban metropolis that is the Barbican Art Gallery is currently home to the first UK solo exhibition by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, a French artist who specialises in creating multi-sensory experiences for his audience.
What is fashion? What can we do with fashion?
By Jessica Hazel. The Women’s Institute (W.I) was first established in 1897 and now has over 205,000 members in the UK alone. The W.I carries a somewhat frumpy reputation and most people imagine a gaggle of old ladies, who meet each week in the village hall to discuss jam making techniques and various health complaints. This is indeed the case, except for a pocket of women from East London who go by the name of the Shoreditch Sisters, who have been tipped as the most glamourous W.I group in the country. I tagged along one Tuesday evening for the first meeting of 2010.
By Jessica Hazel Now it’s 2010, the 1990’s are officially vintage… doesn’t that make you feel old? Selfridges has teamed up with Rellik in their first ever retail collaboration to present a selection of original nineties and nineties-inspired products, all up for sale in one neon-coloured corner of the Oxford Street store. Grunge, Britpop, Nearly-There Technology, YBA’s. Grrrl and Girl Power, Supermodels and the rise of the Super-band are the main themes of the collection, which come together in eclectic and authentic harmony.
By Jessica Hazel Those of you who find yourselves in the big smoke this January should take a trip to the National Portrait Gallery before the months out for the last chance to check out over 150 photographs of England’s finest rock ‘n’ roll treasures, from Beatles to Bowie and Hendrix to the Stones, it’s well worth a look as at least 100 of the images have never been seen before. |
