threeASFOUR + YOKO ONO
October 25th, 2009While browsing NylonTV I found this video. I love Yoko Ono and these designs are beautiful. This is the product of good music, art and fashion. Check it out.
The avant garde label threeASFOUR collaborated with Yoko Ono on their spring 2010 collection. Yoko Ono contributed her dot drawings printed on cotton and silk, which were then used in this collection. The designers of threeASFOUR also paid tribute to Yoko Ono by reanacting a scene from Ono’s famous Cut Piece performance, as part of the runway show. The evening also included a preview of Ono’s new album, “Between My Head and the Sky,” which came out on 09/22/09. To read more click here.
Icon Etiquette: Marilyn Monroe
October 21st, 2009
Norma Jeane Baker A.K.A. Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962) was an American actress, singer, model, sex symbol, muse and fashion icon. Rising from pin-up girl to international superstar. She studied at the Actors Studio. She formed Marilyn Monroe Productions and won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like it Hot.
In February 1953, Marilyn was named “The Most Advertised Girl in the World”. In 1999, she was voted the ‘Sexiest Woman of the Century’ by People Magazine and named the number One Sex Star of the 20th Century by Playboy magazine. She was the inspiration behind Elton John’s “Like a candle in the wind” and was a muse to artists like Andy Warhol, who created a series of screen print portraits of her. 
William Travilla dressed Monroefor eight of her films and for many special events. This included the 1953 Photoplay awards, which she was publicly criticized for, for wearing a skin-tight gold lamé dress.
On May 19, 1962, Monroe made her last significant public appearance, singing “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” at a birthday party for President John F. Kennedy. She wore a dress specially designed and made for her by Jean Louis.
More than 45 years after her death, she is still inspiring the art and fashion world. For example: Dolce & Gabbana used images of Marilyn Monroe in their fall/winter 2009 Ready-to-Wear collection.
…and she also mused artist Bryan Snyder to do this recent street art installation project, The Carlsbad Temptress, below. To see more projects like this and other films by Snyder, click here.
