TERRYWOOD by T. Richardson

Last night was one for the books. Me and three of my best girlfriends attended the opening reception of Terry Richardson’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, titled TERRYWOOD, at OHWOW Gallery. The exhibit presented over 25 of the photographer’s latest photos inspired by the multiple facets of the Hollywood life.

Everyone showed up to support Terry. And I mean, everyone. Paris and Nicki Hilton, Jared Leto, Tyler The Creator, and Brad Goreski were amongst the celebrity guests. But the most unexpected guest was TOM FORD!!! Oh I’m not shitting you. I had the same exact reaction. I mean some people have Madonna, some have Lady Gaga…I have Tom Ford. So can you imagine? I lost my shit! I can’t believe I experiences Mr. Perfection himself. Loved chatting with Richard (his husband) as well. He’s a sweetheart.

WOW, what a night!

The exhibit goes through March 31st. More details at www.oh-wow.com.

New York Fashion Week

The Levi’s F/W 2012 Spectacle

The Levi’s brand (which I wear constantly on What I Wore) launched its first ever global collection during New York Fashion Week at SoHo’s landmark, Mercer 82.

Before the runway show, guests were guided through an art-gallery-like space in which key looks from the collection were showcased. Each vignette was different from the next. Like the wooden frames holding up video cameras taping different angles of a Levi’s canvas bag and projecting it through a monitor above it. Or my personal favorite: the frozen jeans inside huge blocks of ice. Every vignette possessed an individual quality in its presentation.

The runway show was inspired by the ritual of “getting dressed” and built around classic and refined styles with sharp clean aesthetics tailored to perfection. Some models walked out on to the runway in underwear, and got dressed on stage before taking their turn down the catwalk. The collection was based on a more refined and tailored look, bringing an entirely new perspective to the brand. The designs were inspired by the idea of craftsmanship, honesty and authenticity — honoring tradition while defying convention, and re-defining the iconic Levi’s brand.

This was without a doubt one of the most entertaining runway shows I have ever attended, and one of my absolute favorite this season.

Mr. Brainwash Art Show 2011

Mr. Brainwash, of Exit Through The Gift Shop, celebrated his most recent exhibition in LA this week. The gallery was located at an abandoned 4-story building on the corner of La Brea and Romaine in West Hollywood, and the show ran from Dec. 25th through the 29th.

This show was like a visual orgasm. I can’t really describe it in words, but I hope these photos give you an idea of what the exhibit was like.
