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. Yes, 60 artists. The big show stretched across two football field-sized nineteenth-century slaughterhouses repurposed as [...]
Blasblog: The Bride Wore (And Was) Terence Koh
The New York-based artist Terence Koh’s passion for fashion has been well documented. (I can still remember when everyone asked who would wear those Balenciaga robot leggings a few seasons ago; the answer was Beyoncé. And Terence Koh.) But this weekend in East Hampton, Koh managed to mix that passion with his other one: his [...]
Blasblog: Free Art Stuff From Fred
It should come as no surprise that Fred & Associates’ Molly Logan recently opened a library in her New York offices. “Had a career as a professional librarian been able to support my shoe habit, I would be sitting in some musty university library right now,” says Logan, who secures commercial and editorial assignments for [...]
Blasblog From Venice: And So It Begins
Rev up the water taxis, the Biennale has officially begun. First up last night was a group show called Unconditional Love, near the Arsenale grounds. Olympia Scarry’s installation—a person laying under a sheet, feet poking out, with lights running on either side of the body—attracted the likes of Patrick Demarchelier, Natalia Vodianova and Justin Portman, [...]
Terence Koh Hosts A Pop-Up
After his Friday night presentation, Bland designer Teddy Willoughby extended his fashion week reach with a pop-up shop in Asia Song Society, Terence Koh’s Canal Street gallery. Willoughby, along with Deitch’s Meghan Coleman, curated the contents of the space, which opened this weekend. “It’s like what you’d find on a table from our house,” Willoughby [...]
Blasblog from Paris: A Front Row Flashback At Gareth Pugh
When I took my seat at Gareth Pugh’s show, his menswear debut and the finale of the week, my mind suddenly raced back to when another British designer made his first steps into menswear. Due no doubt to some seating snafu, I was in the front row of John Galliano’s first-ever menswear show for his [...]
Blasblog: The Koh Front
When I moved to New York, my mother gave me one piece of professional advice: Work begets work. I blew that off with the rest of her metropolitan tips. (She once bought me one of those tourist money belts for Christmas. Can you imagine?) Still, speaking to the most recent face of United Bamboo, Terence [...]
Rafael de Cardenas Won’t Reveal His Secret Wallpaper Source
You may not know the name Rafael de Cárdenas, but if you’ve visited Miami lately, chances are you’ve seen his handiwork. (Or if you’re model-obsessed and pored over the gorgeous spreads of Jessica Stam’s apartment in the October issue of Elle Decor.) De Cárdenas is the architect behind new exhibition space O.H.W.O.W. (short for Our [...]
Blasblog: Partying Like It’s 1981 With Schnabel and Koh
Until recently, when I’ve had to acknowledge that I know and work with people born in the 1990’s (thanks a lot, Tanya D!), I was always so vainglorious about being born in the eighties. You remember, that decade when Reagan was president and the shoulders that Balmain re-created for Spring were all over town? I [...]
blasblog from paris: colette gets arty
Sarah Lerfel, the daughter of a lady named Colette, who has a certain shop on the Rue Saint-Honoré that you might have heard of, was manning her party/installation alone on Monday night. The shop closed up early to get ready for an art show curated by Jen Brill and Aaron Bondaroff, featuring works from the [...]
