Inspired by “The Winter You Froze Away” this show couldn’t have happened on a more fitting day. Nemo was about to coat the streets of NYC while Color Club Nails, led by Simcha Whitehill aka Miss Pop, was coating the nails of the models for the Katie Gallagher show. She started with a pointed nail (the freshest trend in nail shape that all the stars are rocking lately) then dotted the models nails with colors: Dove Grey (custom), Where’s the Soiree, Muse-ical, and Zodiac, creating the stormiest nails
I stopped by backstage at Charlotte Ronson Fall 2013 show at Lincoln Center to see my favorite nail artist/manicurist Simcha Whitehill, aka Miss Pop (check out her blog if you ever need nail-spiration). Leading the nail team for Color Club, she created a “Picture Frame” nail art look — 5 to be exact.
If you’re a Hello Kitty fan, drop everything and head to Openhouse Gallery for the Hello Kitty, Hello Art! New York City Art Exhibition & Book Launch. The exhibit runs this weekend only and is free and open to the public.
The exhibition features Fashion Designer Betsey Johnson joined by AIKO, Paul Frank, POSE, Simone Legno, and many more popular artists for Sanrio’s first art exhibition in New York City. Showcasing a colorful spectrum of paintings, sculpture, prints, and media ranging from pop to street aesthetics, the gallery exhibition will display a collection of Sanrio-inspired Hello Kitty themed works of art by popular artists from around the world.
Hello Kitty has proved to be no-fad, with her ever growing popularity. However it wasn’t until a recent interview I did with Lisa Loeb, and now this exhibit, that I fully appreciate the brand. Loeb, who’s not only a fan but collector described the appeal as, “what I love about Hello Kitty stuff, is it takes such mundane things, and when you use it, it makes you so happy.” Through this exhibit, I fully appreciated the creativity and artistic expression and colors brought forth in the show. Hello Kitty is so fun!
