Many thanks to all who showed up for the 2010 Skins ‘n’ Sharps Exhibition.

The turn out was huge and overwhelming, it was fantastic to see everyone reconnect and be taken back to a time that was truly theirs. And I realize now it wasn’t just about being Sharp it was about being free.

Skins ‘n’ Sharps exposed – The Age visits the exhibition

admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:15:55 +0000

Melbourne band City Sharps take a look at the new exhibition Skins ‘n’ Sharps, a historical account of a violent era that may still haunt many.

See the video on TheAge.com.au.

And from The Age Saturday 3 July:

They may have earned a reputation in the 1970s for fiercely guarding their territory with fisticuffs, but they were defined by their sharp threads made by Melbourne’s Mediterranean tailors.

Look sharp! The cardigans are back. Just don’t call the wearers knitwits.

The Skins & Sharp’s Exhibition opens Sunday 4 July from 2pm
