1880-1910s New York Gilded Years
I went to the Museum of NYC, today.
pretty much randomly.
They have two interesting exhibitions (in a revival colonial 5th Av./Central Park address, from the 1930s ~ on 103th street... i merely go after 90th, it was the 1st time i visited this museum - and i think i will more often): one about the Mad Men age (I find this crazy that this tvshow's become an adjectif/a style to define the 1950-1960s) illustrator: MC CONNER.
and there is a small exhibition on the third floor, a one year exhibition - (ongoing they say on the website - it closes in nov. 2014) in a purple room called Gilded Years (about wealthy american society/aristocracy/ the 1% of early modern days in NYC). There's like hardly 6 paintings (2 portraits of children - in retrospective this is pretty interesting to think they show 2 portraits of heirs), I would say a dozen window displays, and 1 "period room/scene" - at the end of the room.
Mostly vitrines showcase WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL jewelry, accessories of this time. There's a bit of silverware, "beauty kits" and "opera-cocktail-dinner kits" (gloves, accessories to handle the gloves, perfume bottle crafted with attention, details, gold, platinum, diamonds and more ravishing things - that you'll be able to carry in a tiny clutch - i was amazed how tiny certain things were). fans with amazing feathers. a wonderful and amusing pair of opera glasses with fan integrated.
In the hallway, one of the videos broadcasts images of the gilded years traditions of "bals costumes" (only balls in english, and not costumed balls... anyway). that was the beginning of the concept for this exhibition.
That was very eye-candy ! and pretty interesting.

How the Original 1 Percent Showed Off Gilded New York and Beautys Legacy, Two Lifestyle Shows The staggering sums spent on art at last weeks auctions were interpreted by dealers and critics alike as evidence of a new Gilded Age. At such a moment, it may be useful to take a hard look at the old one, the late-19th-century period defined by the aggressive buying sprees of a few newly minted industrialists. Right now, New York, already blessed with the Frick and the Morgan museums and countless other examples of Gilded Age architecture, has two temporary monuments to that earlier eras excesses in Gilded New York, at the Museum of the City of New York, and Beautys Legacy: Gilded Age Portraits in America, at the New-York Historical Society. Art lovers, be warned: These shows are about lifestyle, not connoisseurship. Collecting, as seen here, is a particularly transparent form of social gatekeeping. And the exhibitions dutifully guard those gates: They dont tell us much about the Gilded Ages extreme disparities of wealth, aside from passing mentions in the glossy catalogs. They do, however, have much to say about the imbalance of money and taste: that the spending of unfathomable amounts of money on art, fashion, parties and real estate had a tendency to stave off any discussion of taste. Gilded New York, the smaller of the two shows, is a one-room affair. But its quite a period piece; the gallery, upholstered in eggplant-colored brocade and stuffed with silver and porcelain, could serve as a set for the latest Wharton adaptation or Julian Fellowess much-anticipated American follow-up to Downton Abbey. Thematically, the show, curated by Donald Albrecht, Jeannine Falino and Phyllis Magidson, revolves around the ritual of the fancy-dress ball: an occasion for lavish expenditures by both host and guests. Two mannequins wearing evening dresses by Maison Worth of Paris have been posed conversationally before a fireplace surround of Italian marble; one of them is clad in the sparkling Electric Light dress, festooned with silver bullion, worn by Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt II at the Vanderbilt Ball of 1883. In the catalog, and just outside the gallery, photographs show guests at other balls dressed (with no apparent irony) as kings, queens and courtiers from Versailles. NDLR: These 2 dresses are no longer in the show ! Unfortunately, there aren't enough costumes !!!!! :doh: Jewelry cases hold accessories that would have been shown off at balls, operas and other society gatherings: diamond tiaras, fans made from the colorful plumage of exotic birds, gem-encrusted perfume bottles and bonbonnieres. The mens items are no less extravagant: Sapphires and rubies adorn a pocketknife, and a cane has a secret compartment that opens to reveal a carved ivory figure of a female nude. These and other decorative objects are the mainstay of Gilded New York dont miss the Far East-inspired earthenware that actually hails from Trenton and Brooklyn but a few portraits animate the formal setting. One is Thomas Wilmer Dewings creamy, Whistleresque painting of DeLancey Iselin Kane as a coltish boy in a white sailor suit, with a carved and pierced wooden frame designed by Stanford White. Another is John Quincy Adams Wards bronze bust of August Belmont, the financier and sportsman for whom the Belmont Stakes race is named and reputedly the inspiration for the character of Julius Beaufort in Whartons novel The Age of Innocence. Beautys Legacy, at the New-York Historical Society, on the other hand, consists entirely of portraits. Although less opulent-looking than Gilded New York, its richer in context and more character-driven, with plenty of information on the New York social set known as Mrs. Astors 400. Organized by Barbara Dayer Gallati, it opens with a section on the Portrait Loan Exhibitions at the National Academy of Design, which were organized by leading society women and displayed their likenesses alongside earlier examples of American and European portraiture. Not surprisingly, many of the works selected for these events imitated the old masters; they include Daniel Huntingtons full-length, Gainsborough-inspired painting of Caroline D. Roberts, as well as Raimundo de Madrazo y Garretas homage to Velázquez in his portrait of the banker Robert Livingston Cutting Jr. The watercolor-on-ivory miniatures from the collection of Peter Marié, meanwhile, represent a more casual form of portraiture, one with popular currency; they show society women in costume from the latest ball. But one of the shows major insights concerns the changing representation of men, as captains of industry pushed aside the soldier-heroes of the Civil War era in the social hierarchy. A highlight is Theobald Chartrans painting of the Equitable Insurance Company heir James Hazen Hyde, whose come-hither stare is conspicuously modeled on Bronzinos Portrait of a Young Man. Also intriguing is the relationship between the American elite and its European counterpart, joined by Downton-style marriages and the quickening pace of trans-Atlantic travel. As the show reveals, artists like Émile Carolus-Duran and his protégé, John Singer Sargent, were in demand in both markets. Our Gilded Age is, of course, a much more global affair, which makes it difficult to compare with the one in these exhibitions. The 400 have been superseded by an international register of 2,000-plus billionaires, the fancy-dress balls by Art Basel. But we may observe, in these galleries, a confluence of art, wealth and celebrity that looks very familiar. Gilded New York runs through November 2014 at the Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Avenue, at 103rd Street; 212-534-1672, mcny.org. Beautys Legacy: Gilded Age Portraits in America runs through March 9 at the New-York Historical Society, 170 Central Park West, at 77th Street; 212-873-3400, nyhistory.org. |

Andrew Guida - Hair Stylist
Born in the province of Palermo (Sicily) in 1975, Andrew began the Maiello accademy Hair stylist in Turin in 1989. The same head of the academy chose him to work in her saloon. At 18 he moved to Milan, working for Orea Malia group for years. In 1993, he took a degree as makeup artist for photography, cinema and special fx in the BCM of Milan. Then he started collaborations with mediaset, for tv shows and commercials, as hair stylist and make up artist.
In 2001 he was discovered by a talent scout. She asked him to work as free lancer in her agency. Due to his passion, trust, and mutual respect he's still working in that agency. Today he's having collaborations with the most famous fashion magazines, in Italy and all around the word.
During his career he could also work with artists like Annie Lennox, Robbie Williams, Sting, Red hot chilly peppers, Alanis Morissette etc..
The best school for his creations was the night club scene in the past 20 years, where he could enjoy, dance, invent, develop and find inspiration. He also worked in some of these clubs, learning the art of transformism.
He defines himself as an eclectic and cosmopolitan person. Always attracted by artistic matters, he learned and is still learning by his mother, the greatest life coach. She taught him ( and still teaching ) plenty of hand made creations, saving and transmitting the Sicilian traditions. And lots more.

Mary-Kate Olsen 'weds Olivier Sarkozy in secret ceremony'
Multiple sources reporting. I'm going to need dress details :judge:

Mary-Kate Olsen 'weds Olivier Sarkozy in secret ceremony' Mary-Kate Olsen has married the brother of former French president, Olivier Sarkozy, according to reports. After weeks of speculation that the pair had tied the knot after being photographed wearing matching gold bands in the Hamptons, New York last month, it is understood that the pair have married in a "secret wedding". According to Lucky magazine, a well-connected source confirmed that the fashion designer and French banker are now man and wife. Sources close to the pair, who have been dating for nearly three years and maintain an extremely low profile away from the spotlight, said that they wanted a quiet ceremony with just a few family members. The happy news emerges eight months after the couple got engaged on Valentine's Day. Former child star Mary-Kate lives together with Olivier, 45, in a in a $6.25million townhouse in the Big Apple's Lower East Side. Engagement rumours between the pair were sparked last December when the fashion icon was spotted shopping for dazzling rings in high-end Los Angeles boutique Neil Lane. Olivier is divorced and has two children with his ex-wife Charlotte Bernard, from whom he split in 2010 after 13 years of marriage. |
