STROBOSCOPIC SHOWCASE

Last night On|Off hosted Stroboscopic Showcase, a private event at The Rook and Raven Gallery in London where Turner Prize winner Martic Creed was one of the superstars that performed live for 80 specially selected guests. The fashion/music/performance event merged with the opening of the London Fashion Week.

Designer Matteo Molinari dressed Creed and his band(above). Each one of the performers was actually dressed by a different designer. Charlie Le Mindu took over Amanda Lepore (below posing with Amir Bakhtiar, graphic designer at Maison Martin Margiela and dearest friend of mine backstage)

Pop artist Alexandra Burke was also there and posed with Matteo Molinari (below)

EXCLUSIVE - ILIA IN THE BACKROOM

It doesn't matter if I find her well dressed or not. I cannot think of any adjective to describe her. I am sure she doesn't care about that either. You know why? Because there is a gap between her and most others, they just don't understand her. This is also called star quality. 

Ilia Darlin's pictures were shot in The Backroom. A personal project by Cristos Sarris and Vassilis Kottaras exploring human characteristics.

For those interested, you can check the fashion film I produced in collaboration with Cristos Sarris last Fall, featuring the first collection of Greek fashion designer Charalambos Nikolaou by clicking here
