matters of the flesh

Yesterday’s bizarre press release touting George Clooney as the newest celebrity with a fashion venture has been confirmed a hoax. Shame, really, since that would have been the only time we could have thrown his clothes on our floor. For a scantily clad endeavor of a different sort, check out the larger-than-life Andy Warhol mural on the bottom of the rooftop pool at Thompson LES. Or if you want to take it all off, head to Dubai, where Impressionist nudes were a hot commodity at the United Arab Emirates’ Global Art Forum, despite dealers’ fears of censorship. Closer to home, New Yorkers bared all in the name of art, specifically birthday-suit-lovin’ photog Spencer Tunick, at the Four Seasons restaurant this weekend. Your wardrobe is the last thing to worry about if you’re trying to get into subMercer, which apparently requires a cartography degree to find. It has been infiltrated, though, so persevere. Two things you couldn’t miss if you tried: Louis Vuitton and Murakami will set up shop at the Brooklyn Museum next month, hawking their über-bright pillows, tees, and, of course, bags. And next spring, the Eiffel Tower will get a new accessory. We’re sure matching berets will be on hand to buy.
