ART,

Gorgeous Garbage??

By Alexandra Stylist | March 5th, 2010

What were they thinking? This is Pace Wildenstein’s installation at the Armory Show at the Piers till Sunday March 7, 2010. Tony Feher’s 3 tables of assembly of garbage did nothing for me except question the success of this gallery. I might pay a dollar for the porno playing cards but come on. The kicker? […]

Outlook at the Armory Show

By Alexandra Stylist | March 4th, 2010

lost? At Art Basel in Miami this December walking the show during ‘vip’ preview hours was sheer bliss. You could just imagine the other visitors stepping off their private jets in their head to toe designer looks and Hermes bags from waiting lists and 20k price tages. But yesterday at the Armory Show at the […]

Plus Minus at LUCA LUCA

By Alexandra Stylist | February 17th, 2010

Luca LucaUnderwhelmed by the clothes. Overwhelmed by the (possibly rent-a??)’celebs’. I spend most of the time during this presentation checking out the front row. Bai Ling-I can’t actually remember what she’s been in, Kelly Bensimon (in rolled up jeans and red pumps) who everyone loves to hate from The Real Housewives of New York City, […]

INSPIRING EVENTS, NEW AND NOTEWORTHY, TALENTED PEOPLE,

Yarn Sculpture on Speed-Koi Suwannagate

By Alexandra Stylist | February 17th, 2010

Do you love hand sculptured details in your knits-and one of a kind? Look to Koi Suwannagate to feed the urge. To see these pics is to scratch the surface at her talent. The 3 dimensional details are incredible in person-she add vintage and organic fabrics when she can. I could liken them to embroideries […]

TALENTED PEOPLE,

It’s raining MEN now

By Alexandra Stylist | February 16th, 2010

A funny thing happened last night in the tents of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. After a long day I wasn’t going to attend the Perry Ellis men’s Fall 2010 runway show but then my partner got stuck in the train so alas I decided to take my seat. I was pleasantly surprised to find a […]
