Nasty Women exhibiton

Hi everyone! If you have been following my blog, then you would know that I had artwork up at the Nasty Women exhibition at Constellations just over two weeks ago! So I promised you lot that as well as writing about the Rising Sirens event, that I would fill you in on the boss event that was this one! 😀

But first, seeing as this is a fashion blog after all, I might as well put up a few pictures of my hair and make-up!

1. Headband, Claire’s Accessories
2. Earrings, Forever 21
3. Stripy t-shirt, Primark
4. Vintage Levi’s denim jacket, Quiggins/Grand Central
5. Hoodie, Primark
6. Dungaree dress, Primark
7. Tights, Primark
8. Vans trainers, Schuh

With my look, I was inspired by punk music, hence why I decided to style my hair into an ’emo’ look, throw my Vans on but wear super-colourful accessories and make-up! (You will be happy to know that my eyeshadow skills are improving, if only slightly! But hey, practise does make perfect!) I also wanted to throw on my vintage denim jacket to throw the entire look together 🙂

Not only was I feeling myself, a lot of the people who attended the event were very stylish as well! Three people in particular were owning it; Cynthia (@cynthiaatmm) and Lo (@queenlogreen), who were two of the event organisers, as well as Cynthia’s brother David (@dxvid.97)!

 

Girls, if you’re reading this, I hope you like the illustrations! 🙂

In addition to the fabulous stylish people on show, the artwork was great! A few of my favourites are below, alongside their Instagram profiles so you can follow them if you like their work! #supportlocalartists ❤

Overall, the Nasty Women exhibition launch was amazing! If I gave the show out of 10, it would be an 11! Amazing people, brilliant artwork and a lovely atmosphere means that it was certainly an iconic night! ❤

Hope you all enjoyed this post!

‘Thresholds: The Adjacent Possible’ exhibition summary + Street Style!

On Friday night, me and my friends Becky and Laura had the pleasure of visiting the opening night of ‘Thresholds: The Adjacent Possible’, which is held at The Tapestry and run by Not Just Collective! I was already excited because our mate, the fabulous illustrator Sasha Spyrou (@anotherrrealm on Instagram), had her photography exhibited at the show alongside many other talented artists!

Now I can guess what you’re wondering… “Why the hell is Lo And Behold talking about a bloody art show when she’s meant to be a fashion blog?” Well, hold your horses! I’ll tell you why now! Well, basically not only was there cool artwork, I managed to spot a few people who were sporting some STRONG looks! I mean, fashion inspiration comes from everywhere doesn’t it, not just the catwalk!

Becky (left) was a little bit later than me and Laura, but honest to god when she arrived I thought bloody hell girl you’re serving 80’s witchy realness right there 😀 Her Instagram is @rebeccagladams, which features her incredible illustrations and strong make up looks! 🙂

Nikki (right), who was running the exhibition, looked cool as well! As I said in my previous post, if I was an animal then I would be a parrot because I live for colour! Her Instagram is @spells_against_civilisation, which features her brilliant and thought-provoking artwork as well as updates about the current exhibition!

Seeing as I’m talking about an art exhibition, I might as well put up some photies of some of my personal favourites from the show! (Word of warning though, I’m not a photographer so the quality of some of these pics might be a bit shocking, I apologise in advance!) :’)

As you can see from the slideshow, there is a wide variety of artworks on show and what I photographed was only a small selection as the exhibition was HUGE!

‘Thresholds: The Adjacent Possible’ is currently on at The Tapestry (12-14 Gildart St, Liverpool, L3 8ET) and is open 11am-6pm every day until Sunday 18th February.
