Watercolours & Jimmy D.

Last night i had the pleasure of seing a show by WATERCOLOURS here in Auckland. 
The Band celebrated the release of their new Video PAZZIDA.






I was expecting some local sweet girl with a guitar playing something like a "Wonderwall" cover or so.
To my delight it was the opposite.

Chelsie, the lead singer, was simple amazing to watch. 


All Band members dressed in white. She was wearing a silk dupion Kimono jacket. 
Innocent white flowers decorated on instruments and interior with light installations gave the hole venue this "holy/untouchable" ora.






Did i tell you about my great hosts here in Auckland? For one there would be the designer Jimmy D. and his Boyfriend Chris.
Both of them are sooo much fun to be around with - and! - they always know the best places to go get dinner or breakfast haha which is really good to know here. And i love going out for dinner/lunch/whatever.





James also owns a boutique called CHILDREN OF VISION
Great puristic shop on K-road.
Selling local new zealand designers like Deadly Ponies and his own Brand Jimmy D.  but also european Designs s.a. Bernhard Willhelm.



His Atelier is right around the corner from the Shop.
Sharing it with the New Zealand fashion-label Maaike


It's really great to see such potential for fashion and Art here in Auckland! I really was not expecting that for whatever reason. European naivness :P
After strolling about in town i went to visit Chris at his PR Office "CIEL PR" but that is another post ;)

New Zealand photographer  Yvonne Todd   uses the generic language of commercial studio photography and quotes mainstream pop-culture, but she produces off-kilter images that express a personal mythology. She is best known for her images of female ‘characters’. These portraits are highly styled; using wigs, costumes, makeup and even false teeth. Todd women seem to suffer from some soap-operatic malaise, explicit or implicit, be they cosmeticians, cripples, modest Christians, anorexics, cult members, showgirls or tragic heiresses. Her work has a complex relation with feminism. "My favourite author when I was twelve or thirteen, Virgina Andrews, wrote gothic tale...
