NYFW Cynthia Rowley (part two)

. One comment.

Scene: Spring/Summer 2022, with a sunset Lady Liberty view from the tip of Manhattan’s Wagner Park. “I’m slightly Y2K-obsessed, but not too much,” designer Cynthia Rowley said following her playful and feminine show. Rowley combined her various categories — swim and surf, girly occasion and daywear, and sporty leisure layers into one collection that embodied wearable, optimistic, and fun styles with just enough of a nod to the early 2000s. The nod came in the form of butterfly and floral motifs, chunky crystal jewelry and embellishments, and a girly, bright palette. Spring was one of Rowley’s most cohesive collections in recent seasons and a celebratory return to New York Fashion Week.
Talent for the show: Hair by lead hairstylist Rodney Cutler of Cutler Salons and team. Makeup by lead makeup artist Cassandra Garcia and team for Bobbi Brown. 
Above photo, Maia Hannemann represented by The Industry Model Management is wearing a Twilight Dress. And Mia Speicher represented by Next New York is wearing a Smocked Silk Twill Dress.

Scene: Cassandra Garcia, lead makeup artist for Bobbi Brown, comments on the makeup direction “Pretty, rosy, with a soft pink eyeliner complemented with a soft glowing rose lip.”
Scene: Rodney Cutler, lead hairstylist of Cutler Salons, comments on the hair direction “Elegant, deconstructed, a return to glamour with a young attitude.”
Scene: New 3D printed, made-to-order, futuristic wedges, which Rowley explained were the result of trying to find a more sustainable and manageable solution to her current shoe business.
Scene: Cynthia Rowley said postshow “Sexy! Sexy for sure, right? Haven’t we been waiting a lot of time to be sexy?”

StockadeFaire

. 6 comments.

On a cold Winter night I’m remembering this warm and fun day in October.
Scene: StockadeFaire, Day into Night. A Block Party that took over Wall and North Front Streets in Kingston, coinciding with One Mile Gallery Janet Hicks OMGArtFaire.
Sean B Nutly of bluecashew Kitchen worked with his life and business partner JT McKay, and with Lovefield Vintage owners Darbie Nowatka and Justin Rice. Sean envisioned StockadeFaire as a collaboration between the Uptown Kingston businesses and the Phoenicia Flea.
StockadeFaire brought together business sponsors, merchant booths, live music acts, and DJs. The block of Wall between John and North Front Street was bookended by stages.
People came to hear the music, shop, view classic cars, mingle, dance, party, and enjoy the day into night event.

In Between

. 2 comments.

Scene: Personal style from Fall to the Winter Solstice. Unwrapped and bundled up. On the go. Personal style and dressing in a way that makes you feel good and comfortable, regardless of what’s considered cool or hot, trending or not. It’s about the person’s persona, taste, and projection. Projection on how one chooses to put things together. The wardrobe as palette. Color, texture, patterns, and silhouettes. Mixed in favor with individual taste, combined with an awareness of what is new, vintage or future. Feeling what’s right for you. Rich, off color, tailored, casual, arts and crafts, cozy knits or knit wit. Mixed, mashed or matched.

 

 

 

OMGArtFaire

. 7 comments.

Scene: Opening Night with Janet Hicks and Sean B. Nutley. The celebration of the arts in Kingston in the Hudson Valley featured a curated selections of 22 fine art galleries and artists from NYC and other states for the first annual OMG ArtFaire. It is an initiative of Janet Hicks, Gallerist, Owner, One Mile Gallery, Kingston, NY.
The VIP opening launched the StockadeFaire, spearheaded by Sean B. Nutley, Co-Owner of blue Cashew Kitchen, and real estate agent Hudson Modern. The four-day art fair included works from both established and emerging artists, and performance artists at the historic Wall Street Music Hall. It was built in the early 1900’s and originally served as a vaudeville and movie house for Kingston residents and tourists who came up the Hudson River by ferry. 
Sean is holding Mike King poster, OMG ArtFaire 2021, three color screen print on white paper, printed throughout the four-day event.

Scene: Mark Hogancamp, Artist, US Navy Veteran. Welcome to Marwen, a film directed by Robert Zemeckis, who co-wrote the script with Caroline Thompson, was based on the life and artwork of Mark Hogancamp, a hate-crime survivor who turned to art as a form of therapy. In 2000, he spent nine days in a medically induced coma before waking up to a world he didn’t recognize, having lost his memories of what happened prior to the assault. He had a 40-day stay at the hospital and enough physical therapy so that he could relearn to walk and talk. To help him cope with the fallout of his assault that saddled him with crippling psychological trauma, he created a fictional 1 to 6 scale World War II Belgian town named Marwencol, populated with toy soldiers and Barbies inspired by his real-life friends, neighbors, and even the men who attacked him. In 2010, he was the subject of Jeff Malmberg’s award-winning documentary, Marencol, named after the imaginary town.
One Mile Gallery regularly shows his work, and in New York, Allouche Gallery, Pioneer Works, and White Columns Gallery have also done so.
