Overview
The it. Collective is an artistic conglomerate bringing together the best of a diverse range of creative genres to produce works of relevance for consumers of street culture with an eye for the ironic. The ABSOLUT Stairwell Gallery presents The it. Collective's first campaign, Trashin' Fashion, at the Sugarmill. Tacky fashion with haute couture sensibilities is the vibe. Showings include elaborate nail art by 2010 Nail Art Awards star Olga Menshikova, false nails as costume jewellery by Peter Jones, photographs by Alex Weltlinger and Steven Mileski, 'trash bag' totes printed with trash-fashion images by graphic artist Laura Ives, and macrame masterpieces by Yin Chuah of jewellery label Yinjoux.
Tunes by the Shooters Party will provide the soundtrack to this visually scintillating night, while live nail art will be delivered by Menshikova throughout the evening. Next up for The it. Collective: Backyard Outcast — a fashion film produced in their own backyard, and I hear it features a banana tree, a mirror ball and a coffin no less. What will these crazy kids think of next?
