What began back in 2012 as an ode to the infamous New York fashion photographer The Sartorialist, The Mancorialist has since established itself as one of the city’s favourite street style blogs. With a belief that a city can be defined not by its architecture but by its people, The Mancorialist has become a key name in documenting the eclecticism and diversity behind our weird, wonderful and creative city, and this May the blog sets up shop in Kosmonaut with its first ever public show, featuring snaps from its extensive bank of street photography (over 1500 street portraits, to be precise). At the launch on Thu 28 May leading stylists and bloggers including Sophie Benson, Zoe Hancock, Rosie Glow and Laura Ngiam will take on a street style challenge, using pre-loved clothing from Goodstock (Vinspired) to style up models before they’re photographed.
As part of the exhibition, also keep an eye out for industry talks with high profile names and brands, too, which will focus on fashion design, photography and branding.
Thu 28 May – Sun 28 Jun, Kosmonaut, 10 Tariff Street, M1 2FF, Launch 6.30 – 8.30pm, FREE, www.facebook.com
