South Asian Dance Academy @ The Festival of Colours - 11/03/12

Upcoming Event - The Festival of Colours

Belfast's biggest ever Spring party returns with a show stopping line-up of South Asian food, music, dance and colour! Known across the globe as India's most energetic and vibrant holiday The Festival of Colours or 'Holi' (which translates to 'colour' in Hindi) celebrates the arrival of Spring in a truly spectacular fusion of colour, culture and creativity.

Here is a link to some photos I took back in 2010 of the event when it was at St. George's Market - http://belfastfashion.blogspot.com/2010/03/holi-festival-of-colours-st-georges.html

excited to see this in a bigger venue!

Inspiration and Upcoming Events

Recently been inspired by Mulberry's Spring/Summer 12 campaign shot by Tim Walker featuring models Frida Gustavsson and Lindsey Wixson. I'm loving the fresh pastel tones and seaside nostalgia, it's getting me excited for my first trip to Brighton next week! Looking forward to catching up with friends, trawling through some vintage shops and eating fish n' chips on the pier!

The Rusty Zip now stocks SUPERSUPER magazine so pop in soon for your free copy (normally priced at £2.99.)

Also looking forward to the completion of the new Titanic Museum at the end of March. The building will have 7 floors and feature exhibitions on the Titanic alongside the history of Belfast. It will feature a flying theatre where visitors can be suspended in moving seats over a giant cinema screen. The multi-sensory experience will include a wind machine, audio and moving visuals.

Wishing You A Lovely Christmas!

Thanks to everyone who reads my wee blog and hope you all have a happy holiday! See you in the New Year with more street style snaps xxx

Eastern Influence

Model: Naoimh Campbell

Clothing and Furniture : Jacob Street at Bedeck

Delicate, ornate detailing was key within this third theme for Cover magazine to emphasize Eastern design influences. We used a red hanging lantern and dramatic rich fabrics like embroidered silk to create an opulent effect.

Current Event - Street Art Exhibition @ The Ulster Museum

Work by Jamie Hewlett, Kerry Roper and Banksy

Part of the Tags Not Labels exhibition

Last Thursday I was very lucky to get a sneak preview of the new Street Art exhibition at the Ulster Museum! Drawn from the V&A collections, this touring exhibition features some of the biggest artists in the Street Art community. Over 30 artists are featured including prints and stickers of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Sickboy, Pure Evil and D*Face. To accompany this the museum is also showcasing Belfast's local Street Art talent. 'Tags Not Labels' features the work of selected local artists through large gallery installations alongside a series of street art photographs. Really recommend that you go and have a nosey- admission is free!
