For my Spring 2013 installation, I bid farewell to the traditional fashion show format in favor of a more modern and unique approach. Instead, there was a two-hour long combination installation and photo shoot. To me, the concept of models running past a pit of photographers hoping to get a great final shot is insane. Knowing that the final image is what will last forever in publications and in the minds of her guests, I invited both artistic and press photographers to shoot the installation from their point of view, thus banishing the unpredictability and sameness of typical runway photography. Below, amongst the models, Prosecco, and raining confetti, guests viewed the photo shoot in real time via projected imagery on the peeling walls. I am so excited to share with you the variety of images we received from the photographers. 

I wanted to share some photos I took at the "Hearsay" opening at Half Gallery last night. The show featured work by Jeanette Hayes, Jay Miriam, and artist/GIRLS actress Jemima Kirke. 

I had such a great time at the opening for "We The People" show at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation last night. The show is not to be missed, with great work from artists like Richard Phillips and Nate Lowman. See this great show at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation now through November 9th! Read more about the show on the Rauschenberg Foundation's website here. 

Did you hear about the great new show at Half Gallery opening next week? It's called Hearsay and features work by Jemima Kirke (as a Girls fan, I have to note that she plays Jessa on Girls), Jay Miriam, and Jeanette Hayes. Visit Half Gallery at 208 Forsyth for this sure-to-be fantastic show October 3rd through the 24th!
