IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 2008 I WAS ASKED TO DO A SMALL ART SHOW FOR THE 'GIMMIE! COFFEE' COFFEE HOUSE ON MOTT ST. HERE IN SOHO NYC. I WAS VERY EXCITED TO GET THE CHANCE TO SHOW MY WORK IN SUCH A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA AND CREATED NINE NEW PIECES FOR THE EXHIBIT. I TOOK THE THEMES OF COFFEE AND FASHION (TWO THINGS I LOVE!) AND MIXED THEM TOGETHER. ALL OF THE PIECES ARE IN BLACK AND WHITE AND FRAMED IN DIFFERENT BLACK FRAMES.
I WANTED TO PICK SOME ICONIC LOOKS FROM FASHION DESIGNERS TO MIX WITH THE COFFEE IMAGERY. THE 1ST ONE SHOWN HERE IS MY ODE TO CHANEL. OUR GIRL WEARS A CHANEL TWEED SHORT-SET WITH QUILTED CHANEL BAG AND MATCHING TWEED SAILOR HAT. I EVEN PUT A LIL' BOTTLE OF CHANEL No. 5 PERFUME AT HER FEET. SHE IS SUPPOSED TO BE DRINKING A GIANT FRAPPICHINO BUT EVERYONE SEEMS TO THINK IT'S A SLURPEE. I LOVE A SLURPEE ON A HOT DAY SO I'M OK WITH THAT!
