Daphne's Window, directed by documentary filmmaker Brennan Stasiewicz, offers an intimate glimpse into the life of Daphne Guinness, who has long been recognized as one of this generation's creative forces for her contribution to the worlds of fashion, art and style. 2011 marks a particularly significant year for Daphne, with the efforts of many long-term collaborations coming into the public eye, most notably, a retrospective exhibition celebrating her visionary style at The Museum at Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.

THIS Los Angeles.

via Dazed Digital - When the six artists behind the newly founded THIS Los Angeles gallery space launched their inaugural show in February this year they decided to open with a rather large bang. Inviting over 100 artists mates, including Geoff McFetridge, Maya Hayuk, Jim Houser, Alex Prager, Estevan Oriol, Jason Lee and Andy Jenkins, the Highland Park-based community/performance/art space kicked off with creative aplomb. A collaboration between photographers Claire and Jeremy Weiss (aka Day19), Dan Monick and Aaron Farley alongside designers Luis F Farfan and Justin Van Hoy, THIS is set to be an inspiring pillar in the east LA art community. Following These Friends with a collage art show where Leo Fitzpatrick’s minimal style was mounted up next to Danny Gibson’s sublime collage paintings, THIS is currently hosting a beautiful show entitled Transplants – a photography exhibition with 10 award winning LA artists who were born and raised outside of the city, whose work radiates the sprawling, diverse and surreal life of Los Angeles. continue reading...
