Dress for Art: Style and Fashion Tips for Visiting Art Exhibition and Galleries

London is one of the most exciting city in arts, many world renowned artists exhibit their works here. Although there is no strict dress code for visiting art exhibition, people can go in Tshirt and trainers, but we live in the world fashon centre and most creative place like London, I think we should try to step in these beautiful space with representation of our creative mind, making a satorial statement in understanding and respect of these phenomenal art works.

So I started this personal project "Art, Style and Fashion" to experiment my style with hats in art exhibitions.

Style advice: When ever I go out to galleries or to an exhibition, I always research about the art works, space, and anbience, so I can plan my ourfits that won't look out of place, playing the contrast or in harmony with the art works and space, making a statment and expressing the understanding of their art or architecture. With this baseline, combine with my mood of the day, confortability and weather permmition. I normaly choose outfits not too formal, I like block colours, combined with simplicity of the style, with defined silhouette but still comfortable to move and walk for hours, and with disdinct personal signature that make statment, like a bold hat, necklace or shoes, or all of above, haha!

And don't forget, you need to wear the shoes that is stylish and comfortable to walk for long time, i usually wear a geniune leather block mid or low heels shoes, or double decker minimalistic leather trainers.

Antony Gormley Exhibition Royal Academy of Arts

Visited Antony Gormley's Exhibition in Royal Academy of Arts, his works are visurally stunning and mesmerising, and the connection between human beings and time, space, materials really touched my heart! I felt allinated and embraced, depressed and librated, vulnerable and empowered, so emotions evoked through out the exhibition, just as he said:"we are all vessels of feelings."

To stand under these phenomenal art works, I was wearing YUAN LI LONDON Black Extra Wide Brim Hat, Zara top and Stella Mccartney Trousers, the architectrual look and strong sillhouette of the hat, fit perfectly in the minimalistic and powerful enviroment Antony Gormley have created.

at Chihuly Kew Garden Exhibition

In this dark and cold beginning of winter, only Chihuly's vibrant glass sculpture can bring some excitment! Visited his exhibition at Kew Gardens on the last day (always last minute!), and these madnificent sculptures shimmer in the late afternoon sunshine and flame the sky.

I was in mood of red that day, it brighten and warm up my heart! I was wearing YUAN LI LONDON Kimberley Red Wide Brim Hat, Zara jumpers and Stella Mccartney red trousers, and Zara black white houndstooth wool coat. The vibrant red colour and strong sillhouette of the hat, just as passionate as Chihuly's works!
