In addition to the Chelsea Summer Show Awards 2014 we had a number of official student awards for BA Fine Art, hosted and presented by 2013 BA Fine Art alumni Ned Alderwick and Liv Fontaine. Along with Ned’s brother Shy Charles, the trio have a fashion comedy performance collaborative group called Best City Fashion.
MFI FlatTime House Graduate Award Kyla Harris & Emma Knight
ACME Studios Award Aaron Wells
Chelsea Arts Club Trust (peer to peer) award Rosie Connolly
OvalHouse Award
Vicky Chapman & Felicity Barrow
South Kiosk Marie Kaus
Rosalie Schweiker Award Vicky Chapman The group collaborated with Tate Britain to create a surreal and thoroughly anti-factual tour of the gallery (which was covered on Shoreditch Radio, in The Times and in Garage magazine). They interviewed RuPaul Drag Race winner Sharon Needles just before her album debuted at #4 on iTunes and performed at Bethnal Green cult all-female music night Debbie. Now they appear fortnightly on London Live TV channel giving a comedy run-down of fashion news and celebrity looks. Liv Fontaine who runs Haha Gallery in Southampton was interviewed recently by Accentt magazine and believes they are largely responsible for sparking the trend of the pineapple motif that is everywhere right now. You too can discover BA Fine Art at Chelsea & follow Best City Fashion on Facebook, You Tube & on other adventures
