Our fabulous City this week

Late Night Liverpool, Liverpools one night arts and culture festival took place on friday and the city came alive.  It was also a big night for the city as we celebrated the reopening of the £50 million renovated Library.   Fab times! 

 

 

Here are a few shots of what was a brilliant and beautiful night of method and madness and proof that once again our beautiful city sits on the forefront of art and culture. 

 

 

 

The new Library is amazing!

Rankin - ALIVE: In the face of Death

John Rankin Waddell, or to you and me Rankin, world renowned English portrait and fashion photographer is hosting an exhibition in the Walker Art Gallery from 17th May - 15th September. 

 

Synonymous with compelling portraiture, Rankin’s lens is known for his ability to capture, create and unveil icons. Following the establishment of Dazed & Confused magazine with business partner Jefferson Hack in 1992, Rankin took his photography to the wider market, creating landmark editorial and advertising campaigns. His body of work features some of the most celebrated publications, biggest brands and pioneering charities, including Nike, Swatch, Dove, Pantene, Diageo, Women’s Aid, and Breakthrough Breast Cancer. He has shot covers for Elle, German Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Esquire and GQ.

 

ALIVE: In the face of death is the photographers look at death and mortality.  The
collaboration between the Walker Art Gallery and Rankin has been developed by BBC North and BBC Two’s The Culture Show as media partner. 

  
Part of the exhibition will feature images of everyday people who know they are running out of time. Through a series of powerful photographs Rankin has documented the stories of very special people. Rather than focusing on death, ALIVE: In The Face of Death is also about celebrating life and diversity of character. The exhibition will also feature images of people who have pulled through against all the odds.

Rankin, 46, said: “This is one of the most challenging projects I’ve ever been involved in and looks at life in the face of death. The issue of death is emotive. Part of this exhibition has involved me taking photographs of people with terminal illness which has been quite a challenging process.
  

“I’ve met some amazing people and I think each portrait brings out the vitality of each subject, their humour and unique qualities.”
National Museums Liverpool Director of Art Galleries Sandra Penketh said: “It is a major coup for the Walker to have an exhibition by one of the world’s most influential photographers. The subject of mortality is challenging and Rankin has tackled it in a very moving way.
“The Walker has a long history of thought-provoking exhibitions. We are very excited to be working with Rankin and the BBC on what will be a deeply emotional exhibition.”

    
  
This exhibition forms part of the LOOK/13: Liverpool International Photography Festival which launches on Friday 17 May and will see dozens of photographic exhibitions and events taking place across the city.
   
This is the second time National Museums Liverpool has worked with Rankin. In 2009 he visited World Museum as part of his Shoot Me, Rankin project which saw him photograph 1,000 people to form a portrait of modern Britain. At World Museum Rankin photographed dozens of Liverpudlians.

The Met Ball Review

Oh how we would love to go to the Met Ball! How fabulous would it be, could you imagine all spruced up like a fashion super hero! Well alas this year did not disappoint, the theme was PUNK - Chaos to Couture and many of the attendees ticked that box with a delightful edge! Some however did not ... Yes Katie Holmes we are talking to you ... White ethereal gowns do not make for a good punk not unless they are covered in political graffiti... Dame Viv would not approve ... In fact we wanted her to run out and write all over Holmes with a sharpie! 

There was however a plethora of beauties to feature including the guys... Zachary Pinto DiscoFashionArt salutes you! Oh and a big thanks to SJP who made us realise Carrie is still alive and well! 

Here are our choices for best dressed and some pictures from the night itself! Do you agree or disagree? Let us know!

Sunnier times are a comin!

Well the sun is shining in Liverpool and my word doesn't it feel nice! No coat needed, tights have been stored away and we are even starting to get our pins ready to face the world! Love it! Lets just hope it lasts till at least Sunday!

In preparation for the sunnier months, how is this for outfit inspiration. Louise Roe a British television presenter working in the US attended a TopShop party in LA yesterday wearing this fabulous little outfit and we love it here at DiscoFashionArt, the clashing red and blue prints, the tan bag, the colour block shoes... It just works so well so we thought we would share this with you. Oh and PS: we are announcing the winner of the spa break competition tonight so pop back later!
