Run away with ‘The Runaways’

RUNOS_Festival1-Sheet_27x40.indd

Forget Alice and her kid-friendly trippy Wonderland - it’s all about The Runaways.

The movie doesn’t come out until March 19, but mark it in your calendar. Mark it now.

The Real Runaways

The Hollywood Runaways

If you haven’t heard about it already, it is partly a “coming-of-age” story and stars Twilight diva Kristen Stewart and Dakota “she’s-to-good-of-an-actor-for-her age” Fanning. The rock biopic follows the start, the rise and the fall of ’70s the first all-girl rock band that included Joan Jett and Cherie Currie. It’s pretty darn gritty, rebellious, anarchic and grimy - and that makes it a lot of fun!

Mike Feeney gives us a show at the 79 Gallery

Mike Feeney, along with fellow MFA fine art and sculpture students Lindsey Eisentraut and Chanil Hong will be showcasing their sculptural works at the 79 Gallery starting March 4.

Feeney’s pieces include individual units, which are assembled to create mechanical sculptures - but as you all may or may not know, he made a shoulder piece that was worn by Lady Gaga in her “Poker Face” video. It’s a far cry from Kermit the Frog dresses and crazy lace masks that cover your entire face - maybe even a little classier.

I guess we can just call him Mike “Poker Face” Feeney.

The opening reception takes place Thursday March 4 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The 79 Gallery is located at 79 New Montgomery.

Jiwon Ree’s knitwear takes over the world!

Jiwon Ree, a BFA Knitwear Design alumna who snagged the internship with Alexander McQueen in 2006, recently contacted us to let us know what she’s been up to - and she’s been a busy gal!

jasmb_lookbook_page_01

The picture is one page of her lookbook of menacingly delicious knitwear for Jas M.B. She recently exhibited her collections in Paris and London - and the buyers loved her work. The store Matches in London scooped up some orders and shops in Italy and Japan got in on the action as well.

Life looks good for Jiwon.

Check out a full slideshow of her Jas M.B. lookbook after the jump. Read more…
