Tretchikoff & Me

For those of you who weren’t at the opening and have not yet seen it, get yourself over to Salon 91 on Kloof Street and check out the Tretchikoff & Me exhibition of vintage Tretchikoff prints, juxtaposed against the contemporary responses (ceramic, printmaking and photographic) of local South African artists. Niklas Zimmer is the featured photographer, and I painted the beautiful ladies he featured in his photographs using a combination of MAC and Chanel concealers and oil-based Kryolan face-paints. I achieved the “water droplets” with tubes of Mac’s clear lipglass. Far more impressive in real life – I suggest you take a wander down Kloof Street and have a look for yourself.

Our Team consisted of:

Photographer: Niklas Zimmer

Lighting Design: Yotam Sandak

Stylist: Bella Knemeyer

Hair and Make-up Artist: Samantha Laura Kaye

Assistant : Penny Youngleson.

Everything’s Gonna Be Okay

The 90′s were an awkward decade. They brought us crochet shirts, goa-inspired prints, grunge, flannel (thanks Kurt) and saw the “new age” movement resurrected from the grave that the shoulder-pad clad glam’s of the 80′s pushed it into. However the 90′s was not an entirely “lost” decade trying to find itself in whale sounds. . . on the contrary the 90′s gave its youth the freedom to truly express themselves as fashion turned individualistic (think custom jeans, and T-shirts with a message) and/or counter cultural as tattoos and piercings  started to become accepted and popular, along with retro styles as people looked back to the 60′s and 70′s for fashion inspiration. The 90′s also saw an increasing acceptance of homo-sexuality and tolerance. In 1990 the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its list of diseases and in 1994 South Africa saw an end to Apartheid.
