Our Story

The Artefact Guild · A division of The BluePrint LAB,
founded by Sidney Allo

Our Heritage

Founded in Parkes, NSW, The Artefact Guild emerged from The BluePrint LAB — an innovation studio dedicated to the intersection of cultural iconography and contemporary artistry. We create limited‑edition wearables that function as personal artefacts: museum‑grade prints, blockchain‑verified provenance, and designs that inscribe signature status onto fabric.

"We approached Elvis not as kitsch, but as a geometric blueprint. His silhouette, guitars, the typography of love letters — each element was deconstructed to essential form. The result is a wearable art collection that feels simultaneously timeless and radically contemporary."
— Sidney Allo, Founder & Curator, The BluePrint LAB

The 2026 Parkes Elvis Festival witnessed the birth of a new design dialect — museum-grade wearable art that archives cultural moments in archival ink and avant-garde form. Visitors engaged with garments not as merchandise, but as museum specimens — each accompanied by narrative, provenance, and the palpable weight of exclusivity.

Every piece is a dialogue between past and future. From the stained‑glass reverence of Elvis Reimagined to the holographic echoes of ABBA Reimagined, our collections are curated for collectors, festivals, and institutions worldwide. We are custodians of memory, translating cultural moments into garments that endure.

Sidney Allo

Founder & Creative Director, The BluePrint LAB

Sidney Allo is a designer, curator, and technologist whose work explores the threshold between artefact and apparel. With a background in museum conservation and digital innovation, he established The BluePrint LAB to reimagine how we wear cultural memory. His split-face iconography — merging stained-glass tradition with gilded opulence — has become a signature of the AETHELRED AV Festival Series.

Under his direction, The Artefact Guild has partnered with museums, festivals, and corporate collectors to deliver pieces that are both intimate and monumental.

"The split face is not artistic interpretation. It is a portrait of a man who lived between the sacred and the iconic — and never fully belonged to either world."

Elvis the Pelvis

The nickname that scandalised the 1950s and launched rock's rebellion — now examined in clinical ultra-premium detail.

Elvis the Pelvis is not just a nickname. It is a fragment of cultural archaeology. Born in Parkes, NSW, and brought to life through the collaborative vision of Sean Cassidy and Sidney Allo, this project examines the King's enduring legacy through the lens of contemporary art and design.

The spirit of Elvis the Pelvis lives on through museum-grade wearable art — born in Parkes, carried to Graceland, and available exclusively at The ARTEFACT Guild.
