\"aap_JC_COLLECTION\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You guys, this is crazy<\/strong>\u00a0 {I’m\u00a0not very good at keeping secrets, and I’ve managed to keep this one since last winter… #miracle}.<\/em> I’ve curated shows for galleries, created online collections, and now I’ve curated an art-inspired clothing collection. What?!<\/em> Yes. So, so crazy. Last winter, Montreal based fashion house Art-A-Porter<\/a> reached out and asked if I would curate an exhibition, that instead of hanging on a wall, would be displayed on clothing. Originally I said no, I was too busy {and nervous that there were no walls involved}<\/i>\u00a0… but I couldn’t control myself… it just sounded too fun! And so they gave me a huge folder of artists to choose from and off we went. This lovely, limited edition collection is the result, and I’m so proud of it! Here is my “curatorial statement”, and then a peek at some of the artwork\/pieces:<\/p>\n

From collage, to painting, to mixed media – the work of\u00a0<\/em>Joe Webb<\/a><\/em>,\u00a0Monica Trastoy<\/a><\/em>, J.D Doria<\/a>, Niki Hare<\/a>, and Erin Case <\/a>is very different, yet all of the individual pieces come together beautifully, creating one unified collection that is dreamy, modern, black and white – with just the perfect pop of vintage-inspired color. I chose these pieces because, well, each one is stunning on it\u2019s own, but when brought together the combination of organic shapes and geometric lines was something I couldn\u2019t resist – amazing on a gallery wall, and even more exciting when you can actually take this exhibition off of the wall, and wear it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gah!<\/em> I love it all! And there is so much more to the collection… see it all right here<\/a>. Thank you so much to AAP<\/a> for giving me this bizarre and wonderful opportunity to curate on something other than a wall, and thank you so much to all of the amazing artists who are involved… it was an honor working with your art!<\/p>\n
