making waves

photo: joe curren

Fitting, considering the various exotic vacations we New Yorkers are going to enjoy this Summer - I am kidding, of course, as this year we're all staying home and grumping about what the weak dollar has done to us, as we can't even afford to visit family in our hometowns in Europe, not to mention, join them and share the Sicily vacation villa - damn it! But, again: Fitting, in a sarcastic kind of way, was the show at Soho Grand on one of the recent warm evenings.

I've been a long time admirer of all things surfing - hey are you kidding me? I am such a fan and I am already prepared for the question, which undoubtedly will come one day where I am asked what my regrets are: Never to have properly learned to surf and catch the waves!!

My goody, and it seams that Chris Gentile and Joe Curren who both contributed photographs to the accompaigning exhibition "Cut/Break,", hosted by Stella Schnabel, which screened short films by Richard Kenvin, Britton Caillouette and Jakob Daschek, are thinking the exact same thing - are on the same wave length, I mean.

At the moment I am not able to bid on any of the great works of art despite that they were really cool! For now I am just happy to stick with my collection of surf patches on my jean jacket....

... and there was an impressive, fashionable crowd in the lounge yard of the Soho Hotel Institution, which I enjoyed...

about IDILVICE

My photo
New York, NY, United States
Just like the rare Swiss mountain flower Edelweiss - a symbol of prestige and distinction - the clothing brand IDILVICE (pronouced "Edel-vice") was born in the mountains of Switzerland and since then it's flourishing on the concrete of Manhattan and recently even in the rolling hills of the San Francisco Bay Area. However as the spelling indicates, the label is not meant to be associated with too much folkloric alpine tradition, but rather and probably in the contrary, with unconventionality. The IDILVICE label was founded in 1995 by Swiss Native fashion designer Idil from the city of Saint Gallen, Switzerland, who's foundation dates back to the 7th Century and which became famous for their quality textile products, especially embroidery textiles, which are still popular with Parisian Haute Couture designers today. In search for something less traditional, Master Graphic Designer Idil ventured out to New York City where she fell in love with American Pop Culture.
