OPENING NIGHT - FASHION BIRDS (SALA 2026)
8 August 2026
Get ready to fly. Join textile collage artist Oscar Arrais for the launch of Fashion Birds, a bold exhibition where nature meets high fashion and birds take centre stage as icons of identity, style, and spectacle.
This is not your typical opening. Think red carpet energy. Think statement looks. Think feathers, drama, and unapologetic self-expression. You’re invited to step into the world of Fashion Birds and wear your most outrageous fashion.
This is your moment to show up, stand out, and be part of the experience. Expect:
A vibrant, fashion-forward atmosphere
A first look at the full exhibition
Drinks and nibbles provided
Music, connection, and creative energy
Limited Tickets Available
Come dressed to impress or… overdress. There’s no such thing as too much here.
