The exhibit opens tomorrow! Are you going??

I am so sad to say that I will not be going – BIG SAD FACE. I was just in NY a few weeks ago and buying tickets on short notice unfortunately, was cost prohibitive. But there is some good news. I’m taking the money I would have spent on a ticket and spending it on the website. There will be some cool new changes coming soon so stay tuned and I hope it will be worth it to you!

Cindy Sherman Photographs Chanel

Cindy Sherman has new large-scale works on exhibit at Metro Pictures Gallery in NYC. The series of photographs is based on an insert she did for Pop Magazine that featured clothing from the Chanel archive. As she developed the images for exhibition she has since significantly altered the photos.

Each photo features Sherman wearing Chanel – ranging from pieces designed by Coco Chanel herself from the 1920s to contemporary pieces designed by Karl Lagerfeld. In each image she stares at the viewer amidst a background that in some cases is complimentary to the clothing, and in others is completely foreign. The background landscapes are photos that Sherman took on the island of Capri and on Iceland in 2010 during a volcano eruption. She manipulated the landscapes and gave them a painterly effect in Photoshop.

If you are in NYC you can see the Cindy Sherman exhibit at Metro Pictures Gallery now through June 9, 2012.

Chanel Hosted 7th Annual Tribeca Film Festival Artist Awards Program Dinner

Alexa Chung at the CHANEL TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL DINNER

Earlier this week Chanel hosted the 7th Annual Tribeca Film Festival Artist Awards Program Dinner; you may remember that I posted a short video a few days ago showcasing the artist awards. To commemorate the program, Chanel hosted a private dinner in NYC at Odeon with some very fancy people in attendance including Robert De Niro, Alexa Chung, Kanye West, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, Jen Brill, Karlie Kloss, Leigh Lezark, Poppy Delevingne,and Cindy Sherman. And of course, many wore Chanel – see some highlights of the arrivals below. I have to say that I’m loving the floral backdrops to the rec carpets we’re seeing lately (we saw a rose covered wall at the Chanel-sponsored MOMA benefit).

This year, the festival awards are works of art themselves which will be exhibited and then awarded to eleven winners. The eleven works of contemporary art are introduced in a preview video by Scott Thrift which you can view below…
