Lisa Perry's Limited Edition Photo Op Dresses. July 8, 2010
Even though your body is dying to melt during the heat wave, you better not let your brain evaporate. How well will it turn out when fall comes around with all those cultural events happening around those fashion weeks?
Need a cheat sheet to keep your art history in shape? Here are a couple of really hip cheat sheets to help.
In a collaboration with Sixties’ photographers, Nat Finkelstein and Carl Fischer, Lisa Perry transfers that era’s most iconic silk screenings and portraits of Andy Warhol and his muse, Edie Sedgewick on these cool, cotton-twill A-Line tank dresses and cotton jersey tees to keep you stylish and in the know.
Despite being an heiress, the indie Edie made do with vintage finds, rock-bottom but cute children clothes and family heirlooms, sometimes tossing in current purchases to freshen up her look.
She’ll probably max these dresses and tees by wearing them alone this Summer as a rocking sundress with heels. Then go slinky in skin-tight leggings or skinny jeans with ballet flats or with the same heels. Edie was the inventor of Preppy Punk.
Building upon the same ensemble of tank dress and leggings with flats/heels, she’ll hunt down a vintage Eighties’ padded shoulder blazer with the pointing lapels and some early Tom Cruise Ray-Bans with the tanks. Those two simple pieces ready for Fall.
They’re in stores now for summer at Lisa Perry Madison Avenue, the Sag Harbor stores, and online.
Keith Haring
If nostalgia is hitting you in the heart as a Gen-Xer or pining your for fading childhood as a Gen-Yer, there is a retrospective wave of the Eighties, most importantly the Pop Art King of Eighties's graphics, Keith Haring.
Mighty Fine tee-shirts is honoring the graffiti-turned-artist by reissuing his most iconic designs that took on the issues of AIDS and Anti-Apartheid and works influenced by the growing prominence of Absolut Vodka and Coca Cola.
Mighty Fine's Keith Haring T-Shirt Line.Keith’s artistic legacy has continued to remain protected long after his death and has emerged as a strong trend in the fashion world. They are waiting to be rediscovered by a new group of in-the-know tweens and teens or young adults yearning for yester year.
Rihanna’s music video "Rude Boy"Cutting-edge stars who were babies or weren't even born during Mr. Haring's day are digging him back up, struck by his simple but bold and socially-charged scribbles and doodle figurines.
Keith’s influences still live on and his artwork has been seen as an up and coming trend- seen in superstar Rihanna’s latest music video, "Rude Boy."
The "real" "90210," starlet Shenae Grimes
Unlike her "90210" character, Shenae Grimes is a real Los Angeles Hipster.
She's so "un-Hollywood," that's she's knowledgible enough to don a classic Keith Haring Tee with a sweater and glasses, the new LA hipster uniform, the real thing.
Whether you're with "Team Andy" or "Team Keith," you can easily impress folks with your intellectualism in easy, cool style for Summer, obviously that cross over into Fall.
