Wayne Fall/Winter 2011

For the Wayne Fall/Winter 2011 collection layers upon layers, asymmetrical cuts, funnel necks, maxi lengths, and raw edging come together to create a futuristic concept that is based on a Renaissance theme. To top it off, we bear witness to an extremely unique handmade jewelry and sculpture collaboration with artist Eric Fertman.

Ecstasy Series #1

Ecstasy Series #1 by Jon Kessler

Jon Kessler used meditated images--from Britney Spears to the current President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad--to create the Ecstasy Series of cut and paste collaged works that are overlayed with pigments and dyes. Wild...Beautifully shocking.

A definite reference to Late Baroque and Rococo art, this era wasn't considered a "Golden Age" for nothing.

3-D Ladies

3-D Ladies by Jim Drain

How forward is this? Even art has gone 3-D.

And yes, the artist is the same Jim Drain known for his colorful knits that have existed in the form of sculpture clothing, AND the same Jim Drain who recently created these limited edition sweaters for Opening Ceremony. See...Art and fashion really are married!

MOVE!

MoMA PS1 is one of the oldest and largest contemporary art institutions in the United States and devotes its resources and energy to displaying the most experimental art in the world. I am a huge fan. This past weekend's exhibition, entitled MOVE!, was an amazing, amazing exhibit that merged the worlds of fashion and art. Organized in conjunction with V Magazine, both noteworthy fashion designers and artists came together to display a new kind of genre of art which consisted of fashion, dance, visual art, performance art, and theater in this two-day event.

Abstract Expressionist New York

I am a total art nerd and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is not only by far my very most favorite museum in NYC, but it is absolutely one of my most favorite museums in the world. An invitation to last night's private viewing plus Q&A session with the curators of the Abstract Expressionist New York exhibition, which began on October 3 and will run through April 25th, 2011, was well beyond exciting. The survey draws from MoMA's renowned and unmatched collection to display a chronological narrative of the true breakthrough of American artists on the art scene. Starting in the beginning of the 1940s and lasting into the 60s, you can sense the dialogue between the works of art and how each artist looked to one another to really create and define the revelatory movement. With some of the most famous pieces from some of the most influential artists of all time, this presentation is an awesome representation of the first avant-garde movement to place New York City at the forefront of international modern art. I highly, highly, highly suggest visiting it today.

Julie Haus Boutique Opening

After a wildly successful stint as a pop-up store, Julie Haus is FINALLY officially open for permanent business. Its beautiful gallery-style SoHo boutique houses Haus' super chic clothes in a super chic setting. Known best for tailored fits, custom prints, and fine details, Julie Haus' fall/winter 2010 collection, which currently occupies the space, is inspired by the dark color palette, the textures of the puppets, and the infusion of technology from the London play, War Horse. With changing interior decor (set to coordinate with the vision and feel of each collection), a new diffusion line named J/J, and collaborations with local designers, Julie Haus has created a recipe for complete success.
