Summary: The New York Public Library was transformed during New York Fashion Week into an art gallery for a day. At least in the room where the Y and Kei Collection was exhibited. In the center of large lofty room was a sculpture with models posed within it. One by one, a model would walk out of her space in the sculpture, walk around the sculpture and replace another model. It was a moving breathing, and very fashionable, piece of artwork. The collection was both modern and reminiscent of many different era’s. There was 70’s disco and 80’s Dynasty reshaped with something simpler, newer and modern.
The inspiration for the show was "a modern and beautiful interpretation of hippie…expressing rebellion, love, peace and freedom. Our interpretation of these core ideals of the 60’s combined with a sophisticated sexy…what we like to call our modern hippie." This concept was successful.
Color Palette: crisp white, bold yellow, hot pink, sky blue, silver and cement grey.
