NYLON

On Valentines Day in 2005 I was one of the zillions of people visiting The Gates - Christo and Jeanne-Claude's most recent project, which was exhibited in Central Park. It wasn't one of their stronger pieces, but it *was* one of the most accessible, as others like
The Umbrellas, crossed remote terrain.

I grew up on Christo, as I watched Surrounded Islands (or as we called it *Pink Islands*) take place. I was 16 at the time and had just discovered the coolness and controversy of *art*. I can't remember how long it was in place... It wasn't long. But I do remember that despite the coolness factor, people in Miami were more concerned with how this art installation might negatively affected the marine life around those surrounded islands.

This past Tuesday was the television premier of "The Gates", an HBO series on Christo and Jeanne-Claude, chronicling the couple's 26-year effort to adorn Central Park's walkways with about 7,500 steel and vinyl portals... If you missed it, I'm sure (HBO Style) it will be on again, in rotation.

Warhol-o-holic...

Burton Snow Boards + Andy Warhol? I don't see the connection... But it seems that the Andy Warhol Foundation has been on a retail retail retail binge over the past two years. Can you picture Andy in a half-pipe, or in the snow? Maybe he'd have a half-pipe in The Factory, so he could watch the skater boys... LoL...

Another odd combo... Bond No. 9 and Andy Warhol? Well... Andy did once say “Another way to take up more space is with perfume.
I really love wearing perfume!”.... But do you really think he would have taken part in this project if he was alive? Ok... Maybe the perfume. But, the snow boards... No way.


Warhol fragrance:
Union Square
The Down Low

Warhol snow:
Burton Fashion
Mission Bindings?
Warhol Board

Warhol wore jeans: Pepe likes some Warhol

Warhol wore khakis?

Warhol Warhol Warhol...

Haute Bank Rober?

Outside of the theatrical clothing, the theme at
Paris' Fall Fashion Week seemed to be all
about the eyes... or the lack thereof...
Junya Watanabe's Fall '08 Collection took this
to a heist extreme... Check it out on style.com ...
