RUUM KIDS WEAR- NEW STORE IN TRIBECA

Today I visited the new store by Ruum Kids Wear in Tribeca. What's great about this store is that it looks & feels like a beautiful Tribeca boutique but your wallet won't be crying when you leave because the prices are totally reasonable. I know I'm biased in thinking that the design and style of Ruum's brand and store are chic, quirky and trend right since I design girls graphics for them but really you all my taste level based on my blog and Ruum really brings a great kids brand to the table. Here are some shots of the new store in Tribeca, lots of great work by lots of talented designers.

Come check out the store, by something awesome! Here's a little map by my friend and coworker Matt.

Yayoi Kusama-I Who Have Arrived In Heaven

On Wednesday I stood on line for almost 3 hours to see Yayoi Kusama's exbition at David Zwirner Gallery. The line is for Kusama-san's installation "The Souls of a Million Light Years Away", an ethereal 3-D experience inside a small mirrored room with thousands of little led lights floating in the air ,reflected in the mirrors and the water surrounding the standing platform. Its like that game 7 minutes in heaven, except you aren't making out and seeing stars you are in a room bathed in tiny stars for 45 seconds. THe room feels like it stretches out into infinity, giving it its nickname, the Infinity Room. Kusama-san also has two other installations in the gallery plus a collection of brilliant paintings. The other to installation, one consist of Kusama-san in a self-video singing a song called "Manahattan Suicide Addict", also the name of the video installation. Kusama-san also has added giant mirrors making the video repeat into infinity. The third installation is called "Love is Calling" and it's another mirrored room this time much larger where multiple viewers can participate and its filled with giant psychedelic polkadot tentacles. This room was a little like a fun-house but slightly more disturbing. I loved the whole show including her paintings, I would recommend if you are in New York stand on line and see the installations its well worth the 3 hour wait. Show runs until December 21st.
