[Smokin' Hot Babes] by Shama Heylen-Silvia

Sharma Heylen-Silvia opened her 'Smokin Hot Babes' exhibition at Hatch in Carillon City last month and if you haven't checked it out yet there is still time- but only a couple of weeks to go!

Sharma presented a series of rainbow water-colour 'babes' who each have their own personalities and specialise in a sport which are comically described in the captions below each piece. 

The colours of Sharma's work complimented the new bright summer colours of the clothing stocked in Hatch which served as the perfect backdrop for the Exhibition. On the opening night guests were treated to pink lemonade, fruit sticks and home-made fruity icy poles.

On the lead up to the 'Smokin Hot Babes' exhibition I was asked by Perth Fashion Festival to collaborate on an interview with Sharma at her beach side apartment in Cottesloe. Sharma welcomed us into her super-cool-surf-chic-arty-boho-skater-girl-gypsy home where she gave us a sneak peak of some of the works for her upcoming exhibition and a few other things she has in the works.

[Sporting Sporty] GAME ON!!

It doesn't matter what sport you follow, just bring out the inner sports fan!!

From the Spring runways to the streets, the sporty trend is out in force and is only getting stronger.

Even if you don't follow baseball, basketball or football there is no reason you can't be a team player. 

OK, OK enough with the sporting puns, there are way too many to keep score of anyway!! haha ;)

Because there are so many different ways this trend can be interpreted  I have created some collages to help breakdown a few of the sporty elements. Hopefully they will give you some great outfit inspiration too!!
