STREET GLAMOUR PHOTO WALL part two

Everybody is en vogue!!!
(Motto of the STREET GLAMOUR PHOTO WALL @ STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 4)
My posts about the fourth Night of Fashion, Performances, Arts & Music, this time @ Urban Spree, started with my story about the beautiful STREET GLAMOUR PHOTO WALL (read about this lovely idea there). Our stylish guests were photographed by Lux Artifex and Eve Lumière of photo studio "Atelier 'et Lux'". In the first part we already had wonderful pictures of various nice & beautiful guests, of the runners from DEGENEROTIKA fashion label & exhibiting artist SHAVI LAVI, of Teaserettes-night-celeb SHEILA WOLF & model SINTEQUE, of me the curator & Pezi from DOLLBREAK, to name just a few. To end my photo love stories of the first part of our amazing STYLE! IT! TAKES! # 4 in Urban Spree's gallery, here you go for the second part of these beautiful pictures! ♥♥♥

Art exhibitions by ELKE GRAALFS, SHAVI LAVI & NORA BELOW

~ Kunst ist keine Geldanlage. Sondern eine Bereicherung. ~
~ Art is not for the accumulation of money. It's an enrichment. ~
Elke Graalfs
For the first time, art got its own space in our STYLE! IT! TAKES! night of fashion, performances, arts & music with three wonderful exhibitions at Urban Spree gallery... All three had their very own character and topics, but have been set up in such a lovely style, that they worked amazingly well together and looked simply beautiful in their interaction... Thank you so much, Elke, Shavi & Nora for your gorgeous contributions to our extra-ordinaire event!!! I think, I never loved an art exhibition opening and the aesthetics and atmosphere of your united works more than this one of the three of you... it was just perfect!!! ♥♥♥


ELKE GRAALFS - Coats

ELKE GRAALFS painted these amazing coats at Urban Spree extra for this super special one-night-exhibition!!! A photo from some days before the event. (it's about the 'true colours', in contrast to the next pic)

Street Glamour Photo Wall

Who needs Mercedes Benz Fashion Week when there is STYLE! IT! TAKES!...?

Instead of posing in front of the logos of Berlin Fashion Week's international brands and companies, partly being part of the ugly arms industry providing dictatorships and militias all over the world, for this time I had the idea to create a STREET GLAMOUR PHOTO WALL for our lovely event. Consisting of our STYLE! IT! TAKES! logo and black stars as a sign of both protest, unity (the five continents) and dark glamour it should offer the possibility to catch the beauty, style and glamour of our lovely guests. In wonderful cooperation with photographers Eve Lumière & Lux Artifex from Atelier 'et Lux' (mentioned with their logo as well) phantastic pictures of our beautiful guests have been made during the whole evening.
A first selection.

Jasa & Thea from DEGENEROTIKA fashion label & exhibiting artist Slavica (Shąvi) & Manuele
