Melbourne GGK Party February 2nd!

 

The Melbourne Girls Got Kicks exhibit opening night is coming up quick! If you're in the city of sneaker freakers, don't miss this big event at The Vic Bar on February 2nd. You can hear M.A.F.I.A spin, buy Girls Got Kicks or even a one-of-a-kind Cheech Sanchez portrait. Don't miss it! For more information on the event or to RSVP, click on the event facebook page. (You'll also see information on the killer after party and on how to pre-order books so you make sure you get your copy...)

In her first-ever solo show, Cheech Sanchez presents a series of photographic portraits of female sneaker enthusiasts taken exclusively for the recently released international sneaker book, Girls Got Kicks. The photo series has since developed into a unique snapshot of female street culture in Melbourne. Juxtapozing feminine curves against the graffiti-laden laneways and back streets of Fitzroy and St Kilda, the exhibition is set to throw a bright spotlight on an otherwise elusive group of uniquely Melbournian women.

The opening night - hosted by Melbourne’s very own sneaker queen, M.A.F.I.A. - also acts as the official Australian launch for the book Girls Got Kicks. The first ever photo documentary of badass female sneaker heads, Girls Got Kicks bursts with portraits and stories as rich and varied as their ever-growing sneaker collections.
