Pizza Party

Biggest dorks with the biggest pizza box

If there's one thing I love more than literally everything else in existence - it's pizza. Whether you're in a good or bad mood, alone or with others - there is never a bad time for pizza. If my friends all suddenly turned into pizza, I would eat them all with no remorse. If my house turned into pizza, I'd be homeless. Back in February I managed to style an outfit around some pizza slice accessories and there is literally a pizza in my oven right now, that's how dedicated I am to the cause. 

Whilst sifting through my inbox the other day, one particular email titled "Pizza Box Exhibition" caught my attention. It was from Hungry House, evidently I'd ordered pizza using their website previously, and my interest was piqued. Obviously the show would be a great feast for my eyes (lol) so I rounded up the scallywags last night and took a trip down to the Old Truman Brewery.  The exhibition is free and will be on until this Sunday but luckily for those who won't be able to make it, here's a few photos of my favourites.

I Put A Spell On You

 

• Dress (modified by me) from East End Thrift Store, £1
• Jacoby Body Harness from Ivory Jar, £45
• Ankle boots from Topshop, £??
• Hat from H&M, £??

I've always been the sort of person to buy clothes to customise but then never gets around to it. Not this time. I transformed a crappy pink floral dress I bought for £1 into something I would actually wear and all I had to do was summon the Dylon Demon. 

A photo what the dress looked like before - photobombed by Rexy.

Dying the dress what fairly easy - I just followed the instructions on the packet and hoped for the best. I had to dye the dress twice though because the first time I clumsily made a noticeable black patch, oops. 

My favourite part of the dying process was washing out the dye afterwards - such cool splash patterns!

Shouts to Ivory Jar for lending me the amazing harness.

Slacking Off

On the walk back home from my slack-free internship yesterday, I stopped off at the Old Truman Brewery to ogle at Stevie Gee's motorbike-inspired solo show. His drawing style is fun and I love his use of colour, but my personal favourite was the customised actual-real-life motorbike illustrated with a cat-head on the most perfect gradient I've ever seen. If I ever have a mid-life crisis, it's the bike I'm going to get. 

Gift shop featuring prints, tees, beanies, patches and zines. The cat shirt was so good!

If reincarnation is a thing I want to come back as this bike because it's the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life

Could someone please get me the pink helmet? I promise to wear it all the time, even to the supermarket or in the shower.

Mr. Gee was there himself, he gave us these stickers and wrote his website on the back in pencil.

Shouts to Nick for alerting us to this show on his instagram. 

10.55 Vth Anniversary Party

The only non blurry photo I managed to get of the after party.

To commemorate 10.55's fifth year of existence, FiftyFiveDsl threw a celebratory exhibition of the new limited edition t-shirt designs in Shoreditch.

The FiftyFiveDsl brand began it's journey as an experimental streetwear line for Diesel, getting it's name from the original line being composed of fifty five designs. The current creative director is actually the founder of Diesel's son, Andrea Rosso.

Rosso himself was at both the exhibition and the after party. As was photographer, Gavin Watson, who created the image for my favourite design in the new collection of the boy in Mickey Mouse ears throwing the v-sign. I didn't get a chance to speak to Rosso but Watson was very friendly and told me he liked my boots and that they were apparently "the first thing he noticed as he entered the room".

At the exhibition itself, there were framed t-shirts from the new collection on the walls but I was mostly distracted by the projector that screened designs onto blank a blank t-shirt, possibly because the picture changed every few seconds and I'm easily amused.

Crystal Head vodka was free of charge at the after party and I definitely felt like my head had turned into a crystal ready to shatter the next morning.
