NEW ROCOCO
Here at alacarterstyle we always like get you invites to the very best parties and events… this week we are giving you the chance to attend the opening of Rita Nowak’s new show in Vienna. Rita is a dear friend of mine and a very talented artist, so pop down to Sotheby’s (the Vienna branch!!) this Thursday evening for the exclusive private view. Rita has asked me to say that you will only be admitted if you wear “light” colours… Why, I have no idea, but it’s her party. Enjoy!!

David had luminous chandelier ‘couturier’ Eva Menz around for a drink last night. Eva is an established star in the glittering world of bespoke (custom for my American readers) lighting, creating often innovative and breathtaking pieces in a range of unusual materials such as origami, pearl and even ice!!! Pieces range from £5,000 to £100,000. Eva has an outstanding portfolio that you must check out but here I picked my favorites to share.

Lost and Found
A LITTLE ‘AMELIE’ EXPERIENCE IN LONDON…
Anyone venturing down to Columbia Road this weekend in the hope of bumping into Kelli should spare a few minutes to climb the tiny staircase just next to ‘Marcos and Trump’ at no. 146. Here you will discover the work of artist Jessie Chorley… Her shop may be the size of a broom cupboard, but it is brimming over with the strange, the curious and the evocative. Think ‘Amelie’… If the film was set here in London, this is probably where she would be hanging out on a Sunday afternoon!! Let me know if you agree..

Any one lucky enough to be in Milan later this week should head off to the Madina Gallery to see the work of Sofia Cacciapaglia. I absolutely love her work, and am sure you will too!!

Fashion and fine art… my kind of event!
