William Wegman
These high-fashion hounds are better dressed than most of Hollywood. In fact, they are stars themselves. The Fabric Workshop and Museum presents a special photography exhibition of William Wegman’s famous Weimaraners dressed in an array of haute couture. Organised by the Birmingham Museum of Art in Alabama, the show presents fabulous style with an imaginative canine twist. Clad in styles from the like of Versace, Gaultier, Gucci and Dolce Gabbana, these designer dogs are adorned in anything from string bikinis, gold sunglasses, beaded bags and elaborate hats.
Take 6
While all the pretty-boy bands of the 1990s are dominating the charts with their bubblegum harmonies and manufactured appeal, Take 6 quietly remains one of the best, most talented vocal revival groups around. Formed in 1985 in Alabama, the band has more in common with the Mills Brothers than Boys II Men, and their jazzy a capella harmonies have captured the ears of Al Jarreau and jazz-god Quincy Jones. Despite a slight edge toward commercialisation on 1996′s ‘Brothers’ release, Take 6 still sound significantly better than any ‘boy band’ of the modern era.
