Friedrich_Gray
2008 LMFF Designer Award Winner
After scoring the SOYA Fashion Award late last year, Sydney-based fashion designer Ben Pollitt can add another accolade to his already impressive resume. The self-taught designer of Friedrich Gray has taken out the title for the 2008 LMFF Designer Award presented by Woolmark and supported by Vogue Australia, during a special presentation at the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.
As part of his prestigious prize package, Woolmark awarded Pollitt with a $10,000 cash prize and a trip to Europe later in the year to introduce him to key contacts, including mills and fabric designers.
This year’s award winner was always going to be a difficult decision for judges to make, with seven of Australia’s rising fashion stars, including Gail Sorronda, Antipodium, Carl Kapp, Manning Cartell, Therese Rawsthorne and Thurley, all competing for the acclaimed prize.
Ultimately it was Pollitt’s unique A/W 2008 collection titled So We Dug A Tunnel, which won him the judges vote.
Ben Pollitt landed on fashion’s radar in early 2007 just a few seasons after launching his Friedrich Gray fashion label. With two influential awards under his belt and the ongoing support of the industry, this is one fashion wunderkind worth keeping an eye on. (March 5, 2008)

Role Play: Portrait Photography - NGV INternational 25Oct-6Apirl 08
so like..i walk in..and the first photo i see is 'The Cook' one of the pictures from the series The Resemblance, taken by ANNE ZAHAKLA.i was just like, ok i love this already.white walls & low level lighting created a calm quiet and mysterious mood which really emphasised alot of the mysitey from all the black & white and colour portraits.there were photographers from 1850 up till today with many known photographers like Cindy Sherman, August Sander and of course Anne Zahakla.
taken from the website..
Portrait photography is a complex and fascinating area of photographic practice that, at its heart, has a dynamic process of collaboration between the sitter, the viewer and the camera operator. In this exhibition, a provocative interchange between historical and contemporary photography has been created to suggest how photographers work to construct, question or reflect the notion of ‘role playing’.
Role Play contains three broad thematic groupings, namely allegorical portraiture (H.P Robinson, Julia Margaret Cameron, Cindy Sherman, William Wegman, Rose Farrell and George Parkin); portraits that either typecast or question social roles (August Sander, Edweard Muybridge, Anne Ferran); and theatrical photographs in which the sitter acts a role, (including G.B Poletto’s wardrobe photographs of Ava Gardner in On the Beach).
there was another room that we went to, i forgot the name..but there was 3 dresses designed and made by Hussein Chalayan, a designer from London, which were showcased in the spring/summer collection entitled Ventriloquy @ London Fashion week 2001.difnialty as the highlight of the day ahahaa.
its free entry so i highly recomndyou to go check it out.alot different stuff, but i guess thats what photographys about.

RUNWAY2_VOGUE
ok ok tonight i went to the L'Oreal Paris Runway 2 and fuck i just want to keep going again & again & again and omg..
ok about the actual runway, tonight was presented by VOGUE Australia. Designers who shocased their clothing wer
Anna Thomas, Christine, Easton Pearson, Lee Mathews, Martin Grant, Megan Park, Toni Maticevski, TL Wood and last but not least Yeojin Bae.
Megan Park started off the show, and i absolutly loved the designs. Main colours used were the normal black, creams and browns - giving it that real winter/autumn feel. lots of cequines and beading was used, like the ones your granny would have on her blouse - in a sexy way ahahaa. All the tops and dresses wer very loose fitting. Main fabric used was velvert - i normally hate velvert but the way the garmets wer put together, they really emphasised the positives of the material, showing it off at its best. Oh and i now officially love Midas shoes. next up was Christine. to tell you the trth..i didnt like it that much.the first few designs reminded me of air hostests, with the hard red hats, tight fitting outfits, moving onto the taylord black pants, big white shirts and sunnies. Definalty inspired by the whole sterotyped 'french style' sort of thng..
Eastn Pearson was pretty good. worked mainly with greens & black. i thought this should have been showcased in yestrdays runway - it linked in really well, with the colour themes and being inspired by the Japanese gueiser style. Lots of spotted material was used which i loved. here and there cequines were used..with made it even more cuter ahhaa. i LOVED Yeojin Bae's designs so so much. it was kinda like military style fitting..clean cut and perfect fit. the clothes we not so 'different' but still looked amazing. under most of the dresses the models wer wearing skivvies (however u spell it ahaha)
TL Wood worked mainly with silk - purples blacks and greens. all really simple designs with simple detail, but looked really goood. Lee Mathews reminded me of little red riding hood & all those fairytails. beanies wer used, AND SO WER A PAIR OF STOCKING THAT I HAVE ahahaa.really girly designs which i love. Anne Thomas used the most COOLEST matieral.it was like this shiny purple matelic mat stuff, and with all the lighting it looks absolutly stunning. Toni Maticevski was alot more formal and dressy, using blacks creams and golds. half way through the music changed to this mystical and fairytale like song..really girly and child-like..setting the scene really well. and last was Martin Grant - first impression ; metalic starwars style. purple, silver and blacks mainly used with massive silver ball buttons. one of the last dresses looked EXACTLY like a dress Rosemin had during winter 07, but who knows..ahaha.
& yeah i had the most amazing night like ever
mwa
ps.highly recomend the new issue of vogue.the shoot of the cover model of Australian supermodel Catherine McNeil absolutly amazing.shot in India, the colours are likee..words dont even describe.

the "Lighter than Air' shoot is fucking out of this world, taken by Javier Vallhonrat.

self_made
ever felt alone and adrift
empty to the world within you
& without you?
like a rift that cuts thin
between life and death
people talking without listening
& yet you hear, but
still the silence grows
between your world and theirs
& you don't know what to do
because life is just life to you
yet you don't know what's wrong
for maybe along
the way
you fell astray
& people kept walking
& talking
until you fell
into your self-made hell

wardrobe
this photo was the first photo i took that really made me stop and think about photography.i love it and all its pretty colours and designs which the materials make.
..and if you still havnt figured out what it is, its the bottom of my wardrobe
& oh the theme of wardrobes, the picture below is 1 out of 12 photos taken last year - an appropriation from one of my favourite photographers Anne Zahalka. after seeing her exhibition at the CCP early last year i was inspired by on of her images of a old school band called the Kingpins. i decided to appropriate it, and relating it to myself, and ended up making it into one of my studio arts final peices..

mwa
still.
Those butterflies that sing and dance inside me, exist still
Still yesterday
Still today
And still tomorrow
Still.
Love adoration and one hundred levels up from, because this is not infatuation flowing through my veins
But still, glass barriers surround me from you
I can see you, but I can't touch you
If I whisper, can you hear me?
The path to love seems so long through valleys deep and mountains high
And too thin for two.
But your happiness is mine
So if i took cupid's arrow and shattered these glass frames that trapped
you from me
me from you
and you from everyone else
and when these pieces of crystal glass reign down on me
it will set you free
Still.
And then when you walk down the path of love, for a better love,
Can you turn around, and promise me that you wont forget me?
I could promise you that...
