more from ladies first!

"Ladies First" opens at 6pm this Friday night, 21st May 2010! The girls will come out to play, and show off an amazing collection of original artworks.

Curated by Melbourne's Tessa Yee, the show will be a unique and light-hearted exploration of the ways in which female artists represent their ideas of femininity - both the dark and the light, the naughty as well as the nice.

Artwork by Monika Viktoria - to be exhibited in the Ladies First exhibition at Brunswick Street Galleries

modish creators market

Melbourne's first Modish Creators Market kicked off last weekend and there were over 60 stalls at the market's Malvern Town Hall locale. Business partners and cousins, Kylie Loy & Kelly Jenkins, are the gals behind Modish. As well as running the market all day, they each had their own stall: Kylie's Tiges and Weince and Kelly's Cool Kids Creations.
