Passion, Love, Pain

Fashion Is Art - The Exhibition

Saturday 28th May 2022
New River Studios, 199 Eade Road, N4 1DN

I am proud and honoured to have been involved in Fashion Is Art - The Exhibition, a grass roots initiative celebrating creative and cultural diversity. Devised by Frame Perfect, the collective production company and Passion, Love, Pain Clothing, who’s objective was to discover the undiscovered by creating a platform for local artists from various creative disciplines, including fine art, street art, illustration, photography, film, fashion, dance and poetry to express themselves through the theme of Passion, Love and Pain.

Three Little Birds & Falling Out of Control silk screen prints created by Jonathan Armstrong on the theme of Pain.

A one day event held at the New River Studios in Haringey featuring poetry, music, dance, video art and fashion, hosted by Creative Director Maxxine Griffiths, surrounded by a curated exhibition of fine art prints, paintings, photographs and a contemporary fashion instillation made from recycled materials. The experience left visitors and exhibitors alike with a buzz and a shared feeling of unity after taking part in an event that was the embodiment of Passion, Love and Pain. Artists shared their stories, personal struggles and experiences with mental health, pain and vulnerability. It was beautiful to feel the warmth, love and support that emulated collectively from this safe space. Congratulations to everyone who took part.

I would personally like to thank Teelo of Frame Perfect and Emma of Passion Love Pain Clothing for devising the concept and providing the venue for this immersive exhibition. I wish them every success in securing sponsorship from Haringey and The British Arts Council for future events.
