Canal Street Meets The Colosseum
As our celebration of New York’s fashion talent was winding down, a blowout of the city’s artistic talent was just getting started in Rome with New York Minute, an exhibition of 60 downtown artists curated by Deitch Projects’ Kathy Grayson.

Tilda’s Campaign, France’s Burglary Problem, And More…
Tilda Swinton + Ryan McGinley + Pringle of Scotland = Most unexpected campaign collaboration ever.
