Fashion as Art

Future Investment, Current Pleasure A few months ago I failed to purchase a wearable piece of art at New York Vintage on West 25th St. Manhattan. I don’t even remember who it was by. It was a stunning architectural gray leather top-tunic and slightly out of my budget. It was also one of those pieces I would probably only wear once a year, though once a year for the rest of my life. It was to die for and I terribly regret not buying it (but the not-buying-regret is a topic for another time).

The thing is, if not born to money, it usually takes us some time to realize that good clothes are worth investing in, even if more expensive, and by good I mean well made, but also original, timeless, art-like.

These pieces delight us when we buy them, but will keep delighting us forever and will always mark us, as we wear them, as real fashion enthusiasts, art curators and collectors who use their body as a private mobile gallery. This issue of our newsletter is dedicated to the emerging creators of such worthy designs. Enjoy…
