Sports and Fitness: French Open Tennis

Posted By: KK on 05/27/10 5:30 PM | Categories: Sports and Fitness

Oh la la! Venus Williams seems to be sporting quite the saucy outfit this year at the French Open Tennis Championship at the Roland Garros Stadium in Paris with this French maid or Moulin-Rouge racy looking lace number. Venus stated, "The outfit is about illusion…I just sketched it out."  Well maybe Venus can do the can-can, but when playing tennis we prefer a more traditional look-such as this classic tennis dress and visor from Ralph Lauren.  La vie dans le sport!

What to Wear: White Dresses Inspired by Art

Posted By: KK on 05/25/10 11:45 AM | Categories: What to Wear

Our inspiration for these creamy dresses came directly from artist Rachel Lee Hovnanian. The purity of her thought-provoking images challenge our notions of conventional beauty and perception.  Her haunting show Power and Burden of Beauty  and Rachel's inspiration for it can be seen on the website. 
 
Don't miss Rachel's latest exhibit, Too Good to Be True. It is a Special Lower East Side Project at the Collette Blanchard Gallery at 26 Clinton Street, opening this week through June 30th.
