There’s nothing like a good deadline in the form of an art
exhibition to motivate and inspire! Hiroshima’s Charity Art Bonanza provided
just that… an exhibition featuring work from 8 different artists, including
painting, photography, fashion and embroidery. The event was an incredible
success, raising just over 100 000 yen for “Brighter than Tomorrow”, a
charity run by Estelle Hebert, which supports the victims of the March 11
disaster in the fishing town of Funakoshi in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Sarah,
Harriet, Dave and Jackie did an amazing job organising, and thanks to everyone
that popped in for support. I couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon in the
city: chatting, sipping wine and appreciating unexpected talents.
Check out my portfolio to read more about the three dresses I
exhibited as part of a range called “When I grow up”. In hopes of not sounding
too pretentious, I did attach personal meaning to each garment, and hope it
proves that fashion can also be a personally symbolic form of art. The last two
dresses have already been pinched but if you’re interested in purchasing the
first white one please drop me an email at trixieandflo@gmail.com. Or just let me know what you think
of the range! xoxo
