“Hair as sculpture — that’s our tagline,” says Emily McAllister, painter and co-founder of Dauphine, a nascent promotion and arts collaborative, with local hairstylist Taylor McFadden. Their fashion-music-art show, A Place in the Sun — which rolls out tonight at 3 Kings Tavern, 60 South Broadway — is actually Dauphine’s first stab at merging art and hair. And holding the two together? Hairspray. Lots of hairspray. Nine stylists will carve unique and personalized ‘dos on eleven different models using everything from fake hair to ornaments.
“The hairstyles are supposed to have strong silhouettes but also strong detail,” McAllister explains. After the models work the runway to original music from the Autokinoton, Achille Lauro and MVP, they’ll strike one last pose around McAllister’s abstract paintings, in the Phoenix Gallery in 3 Kings’ basement. There, attendees will have the opportunity to get a closer look at the elaborate up-dos.
Doors open at 9 p.m.; admission is $8. For more information, call 303-777-7352 or go to www.myspace.com/3kingstavern.
Fri., April 20, 9 p.m.
