rochambeau: evoking the instinctual need for warmth and protecting during the colder months of fall, rochambeau derives exoskeletal references of our less evolved compatriots. determined synthesized layers on draping, wrapping and tailoring create this shielding effect with an elegant yet deconstructed outcome.

corpus: a long standing oak favorite brand, la based corpus has mastered the punk school boy aesthetic with grace and strength by modernizing timeless menswear pieces, from denim, to tailored woven shirts, and re-working them to reapply modern fits and shapes.

sort of the forerunner of “street style” photography. don’t miss this must see show on culture, fashion and content of mid 1950’s americana at the metropolitan museum….
this exhibition celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of the americans, robert frank’s influential suite of black-and-white photographs made on a cross-country road trip in 1955–56. although frank’s depiction of american life was criticized when the book was released in the u.s. in 1959, it soon became recognized as a masterpiece of street photography. born in switzerland in 1924, frank is considered one of the great living masters of photography. the exhibition will feature all 83 photographs published in the americans and will be the first time that this body of work is presented to a new york audience. in addition, the exhibition includes contact sheets that frank used to create the book; earlier photographs made in europe, peru, and new york; a short film by the artist on his life; and his later re-use of iconic images from the series.

alison jacques gallery announces the first uk solo show of acclaimed american artist ryan mcginley with an exhibition of 24 new colour photographs shot in caves across north america. over the last year, mcginley and his crew explored huge caves underground, venturing into unknown territory, seeking out spectacular natural spaces, some previously undocumented. the title of the show MOONMILK alludes to the crystalline deposits found on the walls of many caves; it was once believed that this substance was formed by light from celestial bodies passing through rock into darkened worlds below.
