Kindling yet another spoke of the NYC culture fractal is New York’s Design Week. However the best of it located itself in SoHo’s cast-iron district, where one abounds in visual eye-openers, comfortable chairs, and curated ambiance. Studding SoHo’s Belgian blocks are indoor and outdoor furniture, lighting fixtures, abstract Cuban paintings, mirror and sculptures. Sometimes it does […]
Stefan Beauvais & Ben Moon at 3Squared
“It’s a travesty that we’ve arrived at this place where we compartmentalize everything and separate everything instead of recognizing the connectivity of things” -Ben Moon 3Squared Gallery does justice to the psychedelic—to the Fractal– yet again. Decorating its cave like proportions with the likes of Stefan Beauvais and Ben Moon is curator Marina Dojchinov. These […]
The Beauty of Resin, at 80 Wooster
I learned a few things by attending the Collaborative Art Fair at 80 Wooster in SoHo last Thursday. First: I’m seemingly drawn to organic creations made of resin, and second: Resin evokes organic imagery for a reason. Drawn immediately to Maria M. Mohiuddun fractal-like evocations— flowers, concentric petals and shapes—made from what appeared to be waxed […]

“the Other Women” exhibit at Norwood Club
“The Other Women” art exhibit at the Norwood Club Thursday April 6th was fascinating and eclectic. It appeared for just one night and faded out like a star. Eerie photographs displaying woman’s perspectival relationship to her environment, alongside mixed mediums displaying her skewed sense of self eloquently coalesced to construct a complex narrative: A feminine […]
Space to Place: Dubai to New York City
When do high ceilings framed by skin-bare, unpainted walls and long expanses of hardwood floor start to glitter with lights, and invite? When do pleasant archways successively crowning the shafts of narrow hallways, window-sills, frames and glass bring actual dimension to a space? When people weave in between one another, converse and shed ideas. Like […]
The Capitale of taste–Starchef’s final projects
Rising star chefs received their culinary awards at the starchefs gala-Tuesday, February 21st. It encapsulated culinary wisdom, skill and severe mission–pastries, cocktail dreams and charcuterie incisions. Gleaming as big and tall as the waterfall-like beams of SoHo’s Capitale venue were chefs, artisans, bartenders, concept visionaries alike. Short rib, pumpkin seed laden spirits, and exquisite […]
Intellectualizing Fashion: Philipp Plein afterparty NYPL
Injecting a seemingly superficial NYFW with scholarly class, the historically pivotal New York Public Library apparently hosts supreme spectacles of music, ambiance and fashion trends. The Phillip Plein designer’s after party, Monday February 13th, enjoyed a ton of celebrities, bumper cars, two auditoriums brimmed with beats, sequins, feathery eye-lids, Paris Hilton, and too much more. […]
Rolls Royce ‘struts its stuff’ too, NYFW
Conveniently parked atop Canoe Studios in Manhattan’s Western Chelsea, was the totem Rolls Royce: The hot voluptuous car– around which everyone pranced in revelry–with Hennessy. A terrace abundant with prominent lights transformed concerns into dream. Revelry, with Hennessy… angelic caterers and bystanders, mostly dressed in black…(like the car)… pronounced agendas, relevant to steer. Peer-ing forward, […]
