  <Description><![CDATA[Inspired by surrealism, biomorphicism, and primitivism, Art Smith’s jewelry is dynamic in its size and form. Although sometimes massive in scale, his jewelry remains lightweight and wearable. The jewelry dates from the late 1940s to the 1970s and includes his most famous pieces, such as a “Patina” necklace inspired by the mobiles of Alexander Calder; a “Lava” bracelet, or cuff, that extends over the entire lower arm in undulating and overlapping forms; and a massive ring with three semi-precious stones that stretches over three fingers.

  <Description><![CDATA[A quilted collage of street signs. Abstract art composed of sewing-machine stitches. Towering masks made of threads.
 
These are just a few of the wildly inventive, eye-catching artworks showcased in &quot;Crossing Lines: The Many Faces of Fiber,&quot; a free exhibit of contemporary fiber art at the World Financial Center Courtyard Gallery from December 6th through February 19th.
 
Presented by Arts World Financial Center, the exhibit will feature a dazzling array of woven sculptures, quilted collages, abstract embroidery, and more by members of the Textile Study Group of New York (TSGNY), a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to promoting a wider appreciation of fiber art.
 
The exhibit celebrates TSGNY's 35th anniversary with more than 50 artworks demonstrating the power and versatility of fiber art. The organization's member artists transform thread, yarn, and fabric into eye-popping creations that offer an imaginative approach to embroidery, dyeing, feltwork, knitting, crochet, knotting, lacemaking, quilting, spinning, weaving, and more.
 
&quot;Crossing Lines invites audiences to take something as familiar as fabric and appreciate it in a stunningly beautiful new light,&quot; said Debra Simon, artistic director of Arts World Financial Center. &quot;The Textile Study Group of New York has spent thirty-five years inspiring artists to explore the infinite creative potential of fiber and textiles, and we're thrilled to be presenting this sweeping exhibition of their members' exquisite and wildly imaginative work.&quot;
 
Curated by Rebecca A.T. Stevens, author and Consulting Curator of Contemporary Textiles at the Textile Museum in Washington, DC, the wildly diverse collection includes works both large and small, two- and three-dimensional, traditional and experimental.
 
“We at the Textile Study Group of New York are delighted to be working with Arts World Financial Center to present this landmark exhibition of our members’ works to celebrate our 35th anniversary,” said Nancy Koenigsberg, Founder and President Emeritus of the Textile Study Group of New York.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Museum at FIT presents The Great Designers, Part One, the first of two consecutive exhibitions featuring masterpieces from the museum’s permanent collection of more than 50,000 garments and accessories. From Alaïa, Balenciaga, Chanel, and Dior to Westwood, Yeohlee, and Zoran, the exhibition will feature approximately 50 garments from many of the most important designers of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Elsa Schiaparelli will be represented by a 1935 bias-cut gown inspired by an Indian sari. An evening dress in navy-blue paper silk taffeta by Madame Grès typifies this designer’s dramatic sculptural approach to fashion. Oscar de la Renta’s sense of drama and color is evoked by a 1978 leaf-green and golden-yellow evening ensemble. Miuccia Prada’s prim yet alluring peek-a-boo lace dress, layered over a long cotton shirt, exudes the stylish quirkiness for which her label has become well known.

A number of new acquisitions to The Museum at FIT’s permanent collection will be exhibited for the first time, including an elaborately embroidered black silk coatdress by Alexander McQueen, dating from his time as creative director of Givenchy in the 1990s. The combination of sexuality and theatricality that made Thierry Mugler famous in the 1980s will be seen in his fantastical metallic bustier and fishtail skirt. Another important new acquisition in the exhibition is an elegant evening gown by Valentino, rendered in the designer’s signature shade of bright red and featured in his last-ever couture collection in 2008. The Valentino gown will be shown alongside a Versace suit from 1991, its bold Andy Warhol-inspired print emphasizing the relationship between art and fashion.

The Great Designers, Part One will also feature cutting-edge 21st century design. Rick Owens’s batwing jacket and slinky skirt epitomize his moody yet sensuous aesthetic, which has been described as “glamour meets grunge.” A wool dress by Gareth Pugh from his fall 2007 collection is characterized by the dense application of patent leather strips that gives it a feeling of contemporary armor. Also armor-like is a fierce 2006 ensemble from the English label Boudicca, which was featured in the 2006 exhibition, Love &amp; War: The Weaponized Woman. Rick Owens, Gareth Pugh, and Boudicca are among today’s fashion avant-garde, tipped to be included in any future list of great designers.

Another 50 fashion masterpieces will be shown in The Great Designers, Part Two, which will be on display at The Museum at FIT from May 23 through November 10, 2012. Among the museum’s recent acquisitions that will be included in The Great Designers, Part Two are an extraordinary dress from Alexander McQueen’s spring 2010 “Plato’s Atlantis” collection, which will be on display at the museum for the first time, and a 2002 evening  ensemble  by Jean Paul Gaultier. Avant-garde looks will include Martin Margiela’s iconic dress-form jacket and Junya Watanabe’s blue denim dress. Among the historic masterpieces on display will be Charles James’s pale pink “tree dress” and a 1976 evening ensemble by Yves Saint Laurent.

The Great Designers, Part One and The Great Designers, Part Two will be organized in celebration of The Museum at FIT’s forthcoming book, The Great Designers: Fashion’s Hall of Fame from A to Z, to be published by TASCHEN in spring 2012. The book will feature color photographs of 500 of the museum’s masterpieces by 100 of history’s greatest fashion designers. A short biography of each of the featured designers will be preceded by an extensive essay on the history of fashion museums and exhibitions by Valerie Steele, director and chief curator of The Museum at FIT.

  <Description><![CDATA[Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones—a collaboration between the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and Stephen Jones, the world’s foremost hat designer—is at the Bard Graduate Center (BGC) in New York City from September 15, 2011 to April 15, 2012. It is the first venue in this country. The exhibition, which had over 100,000 visitors at the V&amp;A, displays more than 250 hats chosen with the expert eye of the master milliner.

On display are hats ranging from a twelfth-century Egyptian fez to a 1950s Balenciaga hat and couture creations by Jones and his contemporaries. To show the universal appeal of wearing hats, Jones has chosen a wide variety of styles such as motorcycle helmets, turbans, berets, and a child’s plastic tiara. There also are hats worn by celebrities such as Madonna, Brad Pitt and Keira Knightley. For the special exhibition at the BGC, the curators have arranged for loans particularly relevant to the United States, including Babe Ruth’s baseball cap, Mouseketeer ears, Estee Lauder’s turban, Halston bunny ears worn by Candace Bergen to Truman Capote’s Black &amp; White Ball, and the top hat worn by President Franklin Roosevelt to his fourth inauguration. There is also a display of work by contemporary New York milliners: Ellen Christine, Rod Keenan, Eugenia Kim, Lola, Jennifer Ouellette, Albertus Swanepoel, and Patricia Underwood.

Stephen Jones said: “I was honored when the V&amp;A asked me to curate an exhibition about hats. I had so much fun finding unique head decoration in the most interesting of places. This exhibition draws on millinery collections world-wide and is truly an eclectic and exciting anthology of hats from the last millennium to the present day.”

Stephen Jones spearheaded the fashionable revival of British millinery in the early 1980s. Using unusual materials and daring designs, his exquisitely crafted hats have pushed the boundaries of hat design forward for more than three decades. Jones has collaborated with many leading fashion designers including Marc Jacobs, Comme des Garçons, and Christian Dior. He has worked with many celebrity clients including Diana, Princess of Wales, Dita von Teese, Mick Jagger, and Rihanna, and has made hats for the films Atonement, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Coco avant Chanel, and W.E.

The exhibition is divided into several sections that reveal the practice of creating hats, how they are worn, by whom, and how they are presented to the client.

Inspiration, the first section, looks at how common themes such as exoticism, modernism, and the natural world have inspired countless designers. It shows historic and contemporary interpretations of hat types such as the tricorn, bowler, baseball cap, bonnet, skullcap, and many more.

Creation shows how hats are made and the traditions, innovations, and practices at the heart of millinery. This area is set up like a milliner’s workroom, with patterns, sketches, materials, and millinery blocks.

The Salon reflects the milliner’s public showcase, featuring spectacular hats that reveal the craft at its sartorial best. On display are designs by Philip Treacy, Bill Cunningham, Mr. John, Lily Daché, Mitza Bricard for Christian Dior, Misa Harada for Yohji Yamamoto, and Chanel.

In The Client, visitors can see hats worn by famous clients including Sarah Jessica Parker, Mick Jagger, Brad Pitt, Cecil Beaton, members of the British royal family, and avid collectors such as Isabella Blow and Italian Vogue’s Anna Piaggi. Also on display will be iconic headwear such as Marlene Dietrich’s beret and Andy Warhol’s wig.

The exhibition also features a selection of archive film footage plus a film showing a couture hat being made in Jones’ atelier.

The Book:
The book is by Stephen Jones and Oriole Cullen, curator of textiles and fashion at the V&amp;A. Published by V&amp;A Publishing, the book draws on Jones’ unparalleled body of work and the V&amp;A’s extensive collection of hats. Also featured are key pieces from international hat collections and design houses. Lawrence Mynott’s specially commissioned illustrations preface chapters that examine the milliner’s inspiration, the creation and process of making, how to buy a hat, and the etiquette of hat-wearing.

  <Description><![CDATA[Featuring more than forty items from the Brooklyn Museum’s collection of American and European decorative arts, 19th-Century Modern will focus on the emergence of Modernism, a design aesthetic based in part on the machine as a source of artistic inspiration. To many, “modern design” suggests the simple lines, abstract decoration, and machine-based methods and materials that gained widespread popularity in the twentieth century. The objects in this installation demonstrate that the development of modern industrial design and the emergence of a taste for abstraction began much earlier. In addition to differences in objects’ appearance, this period marked important modifications in how objects were produced and marketed. The works included illustrate the development of the modern industrial world and of an appreciation for simple decoration based either on geometry or organic curves.

The installation will feature objects dating from the early nineteenth century, when the trend toward Modernism began, to the twentieth century. The items on view include furniture by John Henry Belter, Duncan Phyfe, the Thonet Brothers, Samuel Gragg, Bradley &amp; Hubbard, and George Hunzinger; silver objects by Tiffany &amp; Company, Gorham Manufacturing, and Napier (in particular designs by Christopher Dresser and Elsa Tannhardt); and a five-piece French clock garniture manufactured by Guilmet.

  <Description><![CDATA[For at least forty thousand years, in virtually all cultures, humans have worn objects of symbolic, decorative, and amuletic value around their necks. Ranging in length from chokers to rope necklaces that hang below the waist, and in form from simple pendants to elaborate sculptural collars and breastplates, necklaces are strategically positioned beneath the face to draw attention to themselves, enhancing the wearer's allure, power, or status and showcasing the maker's artistic skills.

The unique works on display in Hanging Around are from the Museum of Arts and Design's jewelry collection. Dating from the 1960s to the present, these artistic creations encompass conceptual approaches ranging from the decorative to the provocatively political. Some of the necklaces on view feature precious metals and rare gemstones, but others derive their impact from materials as unconventional as pig intestines, gun triggers, mustard seeds, LED lighting, black coral, butterfly wings, phone directories, mirrors and lenses. The fabrication techniques employed by the artists are as different as traditional goldsmithing and cutting-edge digital prototyping.

The Museum of Arts and Design's collection of contemporary jewelry is one of the finest in the world. Established in 1956 with important gifts from generous donors, MAD's jewelry collection continues to grow each year through the acquisition of new and exciting artworks that embody uniqueness in their aesthetic and intellectual ideas along with superior workmanship and the innovative use of materials in their execution.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Hendershot Gallery presents the opening of Come and Get It!, a group show that features the work of Alben, Daniel Arango, Ghost of a Dream, Ted Noten, Rachel Bee Porter, Tom Sanford, Shelter Serra and Marie Vic.

Come and Get It! encompasses our inherent fascination with consumer goods. While the artist's reference to popular culture is certainly not a new endeavor, the boundary between art and commerce has become increasingly faint. Come and Get It! exhibits the work of eight contemporary artists, each of whom explores the intersection between popular culture, consumerism and art. Inspired by bold and overt advertisements scattered throughout Manhattan, the title of this show further exaggerates the sales tactics used to seduce us into making an impulsive purchase. For the duration of this five-week exhibition, Hendershot Gallery will redesign its gallery space – creating an ironic juxtaposition between the contemporary art world and the retail experience.
 
Highlighting this reciprocal dialogue between art and commerce, Hendershot Gallery has partnered up with local businesses and artists to contribute their products for this exhibition. Books and t-shirts from photographer Jesper Haynes’ St. Marks: 1986-2006 series will be available at the gallery, revealing twenty years of memories throughout his time living on the iconic New York City block. The opening reception for Come and Get It! will be sponsored by our friends at BOMB Beer Company and The Little Cupcake Bakeshop. ]]></Description>
