Tell me, what’s the point of being fashionable if there’s nobody around to show off to?
At the risk of coming over all philosophical and shit, it kinda the same as that tree falling silently in the woods with no-one to hear, don’t you think?
So, with that twisted logic in mind, those crazy bastards from Creative Bent are reforming for yet another outing, this time concentrating on the kind of art you can wear to the shops.
In the past they have folded things, rearranged other things, automated yet more things and done things to things we can’t publish on this all-ages site.
Now it’s time to stick a finger up the impending Melbourne festival, with an evening of debauched hobo fashionising at Section 8 in Tattersals Lane.
Below is CB’s pitch, outlining what they plan to do to get your Salvo Sophistication on. Bum Chic, if you will.
"Everyone has a fashion style. Even you. Yes, you do. Dont argue!
Like stupid people, its everywhere! Punk, Emo, B-boy, Metrosexual, Paris-ite, Rock-chic! Its always changing and evolving faster than you can say Kate Moss likes to powder her nose.
So whats the next Big Thing? Should we turn to Paris? London? New York? Frankston? Who do we ask? Armani? Lagerfeld? Harold from Neighbours?
The crazy monkeys at CB are bringing to you the next Big Thing So Chic Derelicte! With the helpful donations of the Salvos we are going to slap together our own street wear, and we really mean street wear!
Gaffa tape, staple, rope, whatever, we are letting you create whatever your imagination can deliver at that wonderful Section 8 Container Bar. So aim high as we try to achieve the Glamorous Hobo...
Fashionable Emily Strange give aways on the night.
6:30pm onwards at Section 8, Tattersals Lane in the city."
Of course the big question is: Who the hell gets donations FROM the Salvo’s?
Probe them on the night, but unless you’re Gianni Versace don’t think it’s cool to be fashionably late because they’ve already heard that joke.
