Newsworthy: fashion and art news and links from the last few days

• If you happen to be in London, Kensington Palace opened it's latest exhibition last week 'Fashion Rules', offering a peak inside the royal wardrobes from all different styles and eras. Read The Telegraph's write-up for it here
  
  
• Trinity is a performance show using interactive technology by Electronic Performers. The stage is transformed into a blank canvas; the dancer's bodies the paint brush. The result is hauntingly beautiful, accentuating movement and heightening senses. See a bit more info on My Modern Met here or see the full clip here

• Vogue Australia wrote an interesting article explaining the importance and difference between pre-collections (resort & cruise) and ready-to-wear. I was pleased to see a mention of the true reason for the increase in the number of fashion seasons and the corporations responsible, and an increased interest in the industry overall. The speed of high-street distribution and turn-over influences consumers to want more, faster - an interesting article for a more in-depth discussion of this side was published back in January by The Guardian here
  
  
• NZ brand Huffer released a video a couple of weeks back to "celebrate our culture, diversity and peoples different takes on old and new ideas" by exploring the infamous Karangahape Road in Auckland, speaking to different personalities about the significance of denim - an interesting way to explore the notion of high vs. low, both bums on the street and wearers of the highest designers wear denim jackets and jeans. Denim fits with every personality and environment
