22 November 2016

The mummy has the bends again event is on at Paris’s The Community on November 24. 

“is the bends the one where you go down deep underwater for a long time and when you surface, you feel funny?”

Exhibition space Centre for Style and independent publishing house 3-ply‘s new artist book and fashion magazine HEROES are is launching with an evening of a performance titled ‘The Banquet’ by Jessie Kiely and by transient curatorial project Monica’s Gallery. The garments will be enacted by fashion stylist Hali Christou. 

HEROES takes its name from a ‘hero look’ which is a designer’s signature style and is often “the most conceptually-driven moment of the runway.” Bringing together a range of contributors, the magazine/book assembles a range of practices that responded to the caricature of personal style. This issue features contributions by Anna-Sophie Berger, Aurelia Guo and Caley Feeney, among many others. 

See the FB event page for details.**
