"The show is like a Sugar Rush! I left Jacob some rubber to see if he can make me some tattoos. I chatted with Courtney, Daniel Lismore and Joshua Kane. My favorite piece was the dress "Why do you want more". On a personal note "Watch me disappear" spoke to me and made me smile on the inside." - Pandemonia

Hi, I’d love for you to send photos, thanks so much! ☺️I was wearing an Urban Outfitters top & ASOS faux leather trousers The premiere for the art exhibition last night was just fabulous. The highlight of the night for me was meeting Courtney herself, she was so stylish & cool and we were lucky to get a pic with her as she is an idol of ours, what an icon! You could spend a long time looking at the artwork as it was so fascinating to see the artists interpretations of the album! The whole night was a great success & a good buzz and I was delighted to have been invited along - and Mollie McGinn* of the band Dea Matrona

Orlaith Forsythe Hey! Of course, it was lovely to meet you too last night. My top was from nasty gal and trousers were Topshop. Would love to see some pics too if you have them :)

The exhibition showcased so much amazing artwork inspired by Pretty on The Inside. It was great to walk around and see the artists unique creative interpretations of the iconic album 30 years on, it’s definitely worth viewing if you can this weekend!

"The show was the most punk thing I've seen in a long time. To be there witnessing the launch meant so much to me as Hole were absolutely integral to the creation of the person I am today, and to see so much incredible female talent all in one room was very badass." - Milkie Way wearing a vintage bootleg Hole vest, Verso pants, vintage Faith boots, and an Anine Irdem belt and choker, with bandmate Sam Matlock from Wargasm.

If you could send over any photos to milk.ie@hotmail.com that would be amazing thank you so much!

Hi there! It was so nice to meet you too last night. I’m wearing Alexander McQueen, as is my partner (weemoodyjudy)! My choker is Baby Turns Blue, and necklace is Betony Vernon. As far as my thoughts for the exhibition- I thought it was amazing to see such a wide range of different styles all come together to celebrate Pretty On The Inside as an album. Every interpretation was different and unique, and all very much eye catching. It was so flattering to be featured amongst other great artists. Parliament and Courtney did so well to put on such a successful show. sarahmaxwellart's profile picture Would definitely love to get any pics you ha

"I thought the exhibition wonderfully curated and the crowd was wonderful. I loved the tattoos and the music. It was an honour to be invited!" - ???? wearing a Savage X Fenty corset and THE END IS NEAR bomber jacket.

"I thought the show was wicked - an explosion of grrrl angst and rebellion about reclaiming our bodies and saying f you to the patriarchy!" - Girli wearing a vintage jacket, trousers and tops with Diesel shoes.

Hi, and was good to meet u too 🙏🏾 I was wearing POAN bomber, vintage Levi’s jeans.

Hole and Courtney Love changed my life as teenager and it was so great seeing all this art and people supporting the 30th anniversary of Pretty On The Inside album.

Wearing a dress by Lanvin, and I thought the event showed feminine power and creativity through art in a fun way! - Lucia Blayke

Emma Black with Frankie White - Nice to meet you too :) I was wearing vixen by Micheline Pitt dress. I’ll do a little quote later still on the travels home. And yes any pictures would be great thank you. and Alexander Hunt,

I was wearing a top from Are You Am I and a skirt from Orseund Iris

The show was an absolute smash, organised and curated perfectly. So many amazing artists all in one room was a great energy that has been sorely missed and was beautiful to be amongst.

Dani J and Clara Cosh-Escott,

Cherry Lazar Hi! Sorry this took a moment !! So , I was wearing vintage (1930s) and a self made cape so not very useful on the designers front haha. Then quote for the show: Though the idea of the show was to invoke pretty on the inside, every one attending the opening was just as equally pretty on the outside.

Parliament Tattoo and Courtney Love offered us a show that truly embodied the grimy decadence and fun of early 90s grunge.

And I’d love it if you could send me some photos! My email is Lazarcherry@gmail.com 🙏💖 thank you so much!!!

Kat Jennings

Hey! I was wearing ASOS boots and dress and The Great Frog jewellery. And sure! ‘It was great to have a real collective buzz in Parliament Tattoo. It was an honour to meet so many artists and view such a talented roster of work! It was obvious that the album Pretty on the Inside was a very inspirational album for every one and it was interesting to see what path each artist took’

I would love photos! If you can send them to contact@knifedance.com that would be great!

Mimi Oliver, Anya Pearson,

Mel Trierweiler Hi lovely!!! Nice to meet you too! Party was amazing, everyone had the best vibe and I had a great time! Shout out to the amazing drinks too! I would love to see the pictures yes ❤️ meltrierweiler's profile picture I was wearing all black, mid skirt and oversized jumper, and a Thrasher hat

and Lucy Katz from the band Dream Nails

Molly Crisp and Loz - Lovely to meet you too! I was wearing Namilia.

The show was great! It was amazing to see work from so many talented women to celebrate such an iconic album. I was honoured to be asked to be a contributing artist.

"I really appreciated seeing so many textile pieces, I feel like textile art has been fighting for its place in the art world, trying to get out from underneath the label of ‘women’s work’, but in this exhibition it felt like we were claiming both- women’s work /is/ the art world." - Lydia Morrow wearing an Ilana Kohn jumpsuit with a dress she made on top out of an old curtain with embroidery on it with Catriona Reilly who DJs as Sycophantasy.

I was wearing

Vintage Hollywood t shirt Hood by air jeans Vintage studded belt Vintage leather biker jacket Vintage sunglasses Leather boots by New Rock Guest was Joseph Delaney I’m so bad at quotes haha iammattking's profile picture But I loved the different mediums of work especially the collage art. That’s always a fave. We were gutted that the tatttoo bookings got full! Was a nice crowd of people too

Matt King with Joseph Delaney wearing I was wearing a Final Home Survival coat, Cyberdog cable tie blazer, new rocks

Vintage dolce and gabbana corset Vanessa Mooney necklace Rings and earrings by the great frog

It was such a lovely evening spent celebrating one of the most iconic bands in the scene at one of my favourite places in London surrounded by artwork by women I admire.

Chels Lyons and Charlotte Alex,

"The show I felt really embodied teenage angst of the 80s and 90s. It felt extremely nostalgic and my younger self was definitely satisfied. The curation was extremely experimental and unconventional which was super appropriate for the celebration of the Album Pretty on the Inside." - Akasha wearing Punk Rave and Killstar.

Shan Shan and Bill Ip Hiya Lovely to meet you too! Thanks for asking! My name is and my partner’s name is ☺️ I was wearing a checked suit, a white top with a pink beret. A rainbow Chanel Boy bag and thigh-high boots.

The show was amazing! It's such an inimitable experience to be part of the exhibition celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pretty on the inside with all these amazing artists. It's also an unforgettable experience of the first year of my UK life!🥰

Sheyi Bamgbaiye, Liv Thurley and Charlotte Robinson

I was wearing Stussy Chore Jacket/ UNIQLO Lambswool Crew Neck/ Carhartt Balck Longsleve sheyi_bamgbaiye's profile picture The art was eclectic which suited the punk rock atmosphere well. The one thing that unified all the pieces was an unapologetic fuck you attitude. A breath of fresh air after the depressing monotony of the last 20 months. Im glad that some great art has come out of all the depression and oppression. Chloe Sheppard’s work particularly caught my eye for its use of contrasting fabric and patterns combined with a stark motif to create an eerie yet sensual composition - the perfect symbol of our current climate.
