Art...
Today's photoshoot was an interesting experience. It has inspired some wild ideas in my mind.
I was in Disco, which is downtown behind Central Market. There has been fashion shows going on every week there for the last month and today was the finale, a 'best of'. My mission? To shoot 2 rolls of film on my Nikon and 150 photos on my Canon G2.
The fashion show was not too commercialized. There wasn't a great barier between the designers and the masses. It was laid back and 'artsy'. My favourite fashion store was being represented tonight. Good Mixer is a shop with a collection of clothes, hats, shoes, and fashion accesories from all over Asia. Located in one of our pioneer shopping malls, Sungai Wang, it's certainly a shop with character. Tonight, those items were on display, worn by flawless fashion models.
Because I was a photographer, I was allowed backstage access. My favourite photographs of the night were taken in there. All candid/photojournalistic shots. Behind-the-scenes. Then I met the man behind Good Mixer. I told him I was a fan and showed him the beaded bracelet I bought from the store. He gave me his card. I took some photos of him and a few more not of him before leaving.
Disco & Liquid are clubs with a distinct interior worth the pages of Ish, Interior Design and Architectural Digest. The design from the main room to the toilets were artistically beautiful. The lights cast pretty shadows on the walls. The toilets had curtains made from waterproof/raincoat material. Even the bottle arrangement at the bar was worth a second and third look.
I'm thinking of using this place as the venue of Fallen Leaves' comeback. The band plays the soundtrack for the night. And the fashion models will interpret and express the emotions of the songs in a dramatic theatre-styled manner. It will be a beautiful night where art is displayed... in song, in fashion, in drama, in design...
