If you are headed out to the tip of Long Island in the next few weeks, then check out "The Art of Fashion" exhibit at Guild Hall in East Hampton. Ten designers (Tory Burch, Betsey Johnson, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Reed Krakoff, Ralph Lauren, Nicole Miller, Elie Tahari, and Vera Wang) displayed "vignettes" that match equally prominent artists with the designer's clothes.Co-curated by Pamela Fiori, Editor-in-Chief of Town & Country, and Stan Herman, designer and past president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), the designers worked with the curators to pick artwork that would complement their clothing designs. The event opened last Friday (August 14th) and the designers were at the exhibit to discuss their choices and their artistic inspiration.
So perhaps it's not the most creative idea in the world, but hey, it's the Hamptons, not Berlin. And everyone needs a break from the beach and shopping once in a while.
