WHOT TO SEE!! at OFFSET DUBLIN 2019

 
 

The wish list of “who to see” at OFFSET DUBLIN 2019  just keeps getting bigger, did you know Artist, Author and Activist James Victore and Illustrator Victo Ngai,  two award winning creative heavyweights are part of our 2019 lineup. While at very different stages of their careers they both offer a very unique approach to their creative disciplines. See for yourself next April 5th-7th.

 
 

James Victore is widely known for his timely wisdom and impassioned views about design and it’s place in the world. At the helm of his independently run design studio, James continually strives to make work that is sexy, strong and memorable; work that tows the line between the sacred and the profane.

James’ work has been exhibited (twice!) at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and is represented in the permanent collections of museums worldwide including the Louvre in Paris, the Stedelijk in Amsterdam and the Library of Congress.
 

Victo Ngai  is one of the most respected and accomplished visual artists in the publishing, editorial, and advertising industry. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Victo provides illustrations for clients such as The New York Times and The New Yorker, Apple,  Johnnie Walker, American Express, Lufthansa Airline, NBC and Dreamwork. 

Victo’s work has received many honors including Forbes 30 Under 30 (Art & Style), The One Club Young Guns 16, Society of Illustrators NY Gold and Silver medals, SPECTRUM Gold and Silver Medals, ADC and SPD Silver Awards, Hugo Award and World Fantasy Award finalist and many more.

Graduate Trainee, Alexander McQueen

Summary

Innovative, uncompromising, romantic, provocative, upholding the power of emotion and the touch of the human hand: these are all elements that describe the fashion of the house of Alexander McQueen. The brand is synonymous with modern British couture, renowned for its strong identity and celebration of unbridled creativity. Integral to the McQueen culture is the juxtaposition between contrasting elements: femininity and masculinity, fragility and strength, tradition and modernity. Under the creative direction of Sarah Burton, the house produces critically acclaimed collections, driven by unparalleled vision and respect for craftsmanship. Burton was made Head of Design for womenswear in 2000 and was appointed Creative Director in 2010. The luxury brand was founded by Lee Alexander McQueen in 1992. Among the greatest fashion designers of his time, the legacy of his work lives on.
