Over the weekend, Mana Contemporary presented an exclusive grand opening preview of Marlyn: Character Not Image, curated by actress and talk show host, Whoopi Goldberg. The art exhibit features poems, sketches, and so much more from the Hollywood icon, Marilyn Monroe. Attendees were also able to get the first glimpse of iconic photographs by Milton Greene and Weegee, along with select video footage. Weegee’s images reveal sly complicity between Marilyn and himself: his dark-room distorted imagery pokes fun at the unreal and absurd facets of the Hollywood industry, of which Marilyn was keenly aware. It is truly a captivating gallery. The show will give guests a behind-the-scenes look at the actress’s private life through candid shots by Greene who flawlessly captured her sweetness, humor, and impatience.

Costello Tagliapietra Spring 2014 Collection
Jeffery Costello and Robert Tagliapietra debuted a refreshing strong Spring 2014 collection at Milk Studios during the first day of New York Fashion Week. Evolving from their typical flowy draping, this collection seemed to draw more from the personal style of the duo behind the label.

Ladies and Gentlemen, It’s The Blonds Spring/Summer 2011 Show
We couldn’t think of a better way to end NYFW than with The Blonds at Milk Studios on Thursday. The Blonds didn’t disappoint in all their opulent glory along with their sense of humor (insert the “tophat” and “LOL” headbands!).
