Art and Fashion Review
"A Creative Night of Professional Collaboration"
On Saturday, May 26th the Peridot Resto Lounge was transformed into a creative night of professional collaboration with the event "Mielcombe: a fusion of art, fashion, and music". The night highlighted a live fashion photo shoot, stimulating music and a shared artistic exhibition to bring in the 10th anniversary of Mudshark Street Wear. "We were able to bring together Canadian designers, artists, and photographers for an interactive professional evening of entertainment and casual fun" - (Jen Hilsden, Mudshark CEO).
Mudshark Street Wear is an online retail experience which is geared towards a fashion forward clientele bringing in Canadian and Toronto based designers such as Scandal House Designs, Biokat and their most recent summer addition, Miel's Bikini's. The night featured photographers Dave Wilder and Eleanor Bathe who worked with fashion photo professionalism to provide the live production and spectacle.

Emerging Arts meets Professional
The Peridot Resto Lounge also features a monthly exhibition including a wide range of visual mediums such as painting, photography and drawing. Many of the pieces are from new emerging artists in the GTA that have been given the opportunity to have their work coincide and complimented by other established arts professionals. “The purpose of the shows at Peridot is to show the learning stages of different artists. Many get showcased monthly allowing the public to see their progress as emerging artists. Others are slightly more established. We've had Arts and Letters Club members Angel Di Zhang, Andrew Sookrah and Tina Newlove all showcase their work." - (Janine Jones, Event organizer and Artist)

Hi its Dave, and thank you for the article about the Mielcombe exhibition, I'm a longtime friend of Sherri's and a new reader of Altered Magazine.
I wish I could have attended the show, but being able to read about it in Altered was a very nice second best.
Thank you again for the article and covering independent fashion at its best.
