Fall Show: Nov. 20th & 21st, Triple Pier Antiques Show
It all began with a freelance job for NBC.
I was commissioned to produce storyboards for the opening of their flagship
store The NBC Experience at Rockefeller
Center in New York City, and one of the departments within the store was NBC
collectibles and memorabilia. They knew they wanted to create this shop but
were at a loss of to how to fill it. Rather naively I exclaimed "I can do
it!" and the following weekend I was on an extended road trip with my
partner. In the end the NBC team were extremely pleased as they unpacked
the loot of memorabilia I had collected.
And I was also pleased. On this trip I had found a wonderful Balenciaga
suit from the 50's and I began noticing these fabulous
forgotten clothes.
Emilio Pucci, Halston, Dior, Courreges - these are a
few of my favorite things. My collection has grown impressively since then
and I am now a regular at the vintage clothing shows here in New York. Who
knew? I sell to the young Carrie Bradshaws as well as Donna Karan,
Ralph Lauren and many of New Yorks best design teams. I believe my
illustrative ability comes into play when putting together a vintage collection.
Trends, color and the lines of a garment are important to me as a visual artist.
I am almost as passionate about the vintage clothing world as I am about my art.
I look for that which stands apart and always go for that little number with
"an edge".
