THE LAST BRUCENNIAL<\/a> – ‘GIRLS ONLY’
\nMARCH 7 – APRIL 4, 2014
\n837 WASHINGTON ST, MEATPACKING DISTRICT, NYC – HRS: WED-SUN \/ 12-6 PM<\/p>\n

the BEST of the – OPENING NITE CROWD !!<\/p>\n

THE DOWNTOWN STARS . . COME OUT TO TWINKLE & MINGLE !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\non the right – DJ, musician and artist SCOTT MOU, with his girlfriend, CHARLOTTE de LARMINAT.
\nnote the jacket.
\nCharlotte has a piece in the Brucennial.
\nScott told me he had been very busy during last week’s fashion week, DJ-ing.
\nthe last time I caught SCOTT was way back in FALL 2004 at LITTLE CAKES !!
\nsee: ART LOVERS NEW YORK – FALL 2004
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCHARLOTTE de LARMINAT, mixed media. BRUCENNIAL 2014.
\nnote the old wood base, and metal frame-working. nice contrast with the huge violet bow.
\nnot to forget that . . middle part !!
\nhardcore girlie, or what !! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nABIGAIL CHAPIN . . of THE CHAPIN SISTERS<\/a>.
\nfounded in L.A. in 2004, the band is now NYC-based, and their newest record, A DATE WITH THE EVERLY BROTHERS, is not only mighty fine listening – but has great graphics, style, and . . well, visual p-u-n-c-h.
\nnext image, check.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nfor sure, hit: THE CHAPIN SISTERS – SING THE EVERLY BROTHERS . . ‘LOVE HURTS’ !!<\/a> . . . sweet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nbut, back to the opening . .
\nCHARLOTTE de LARMINAT definitely had the BEST LOOK, and JACKET – FEMALE.
\nyes, it is the real deal . . . hurray for HOME DEPOT !!<\/p>\n

authentic utility jackets have always been fun, esp on the street.
\nthey have always been a huge thrift shop find, or a personal badge of honor, esp if you or someone you know – actually works for a corporation that hands out – uniform\/work gear.
\nbut, quelle \/ how on point, this week.
\ndid you catch the ‘bad try’, ill-conceived high-couture version of a work jacket unleashed on an unsuspecting fashion audience in Milan – by MOSCHINO COUTURE last week ?
\nMcDonalds, NOT !!
\nMarc Jacobs, NOT !!
\nany merit ? NOT !!<\/p>\n

TIME NEWSFEED<\/a> reports: the JEREMY SCOTT first-time collection for MOSCHINO . . is described by STYLE.COM’S TIM BLANKS<\/strong> as . .
\n“a mutant<\/strong> hybrid of Ronald McDonald and Coco Chanel” – !!
\nactually, those words are too<\/strong> kind, in my opinion. it’s really – NOT very good.
\nsee for yourself: MOSCHINO McDONALDS by JEREMY SCOTT\/ugh!!<\/a>.<\/p>\n

leave it to the art world to have the final say – the real<\/strong> deal, rules.
\nthank you Charlotte de Larminat, for that timely note.<\/p>\n

though funny, a lot of SCOTTS . . in the news this week, L’Wren Scott, Scott Mou and Jeremy !! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nmore conservative fashion, as in pricey vs alternative . . did have its moments, but they were rare.
\nit was – a real<\/strong> downtown crowd. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nstreet style . . ruled !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nyou’ve really got to dig this silver surfer’s solution of sporting short pants, in this case – baggy athletic shorts – ala Pharrell Williams, in cold weather – dark grey wool tights !!
\nand looking – good !! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nstill talkin’ fashion . .
\ncutest local kid . . from the hood. love how those headphones are so . . well: MAD MAX !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nmake that 2 !! local kid . . street stars !!
\nI’m guessing it’s pretty politically incorrect to say aloud – but he has got the JEAN MICHEL ‘radiant’ look, down – for sure.
\nit’s unknown whether he has . . the talent ?
\nbut something is going on there, for sure. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nhe also had the best ‘hand-colored’ jacket by far.
\nI’m thinking it’s hand-painted – because his belt matches !! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBEST COLORS – FEMALE !!
\nis that the new<\/strong> floral – TOP SHOP jacket ?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nwhile we are at it, BEST TATTOO SIGHTING: goes to a female !!
\nGIRLS . . love their tattoos !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBEST MEN’S – shirt !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nEAMON. best hipster look, and dude looks to be good-natured . . to boot !! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBEST MENS JACKET – BHQF hardcore style !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nto BERND NABER: BEST WHITE ‘SHADES-LIKE’, FRAMES. indoors – natch !!
\nand, BEST . . HAT !!<\/p>\n

BERND has been on the scene for a long long time, at least back to the early 80s . .
\nhe’s definitely . . an opening fixture & a party down hard fanatic.
\nthough his soup-ed old convertible parked outside many an opening – has probably garnered more fame, than he has !!
\nso, I’m happy to report, BERND NABER . . has finally achieved some real fame, for himself.
\nor is that . . notoriety !! <\/p>\n

he and a few of his dearest pals star in that DUMPSTER DIVING DOCUMENTARY, ‘SPOILS: EXTRAORDINARY HARVEST’ – !!
\nthat just burst upon on the scene a few months back !!
\nBUT not to worry, it’s a just a passionate ‘hobby’ for Bernd. sorry to burst the narrative bubble,
\nsorry to break the ‘pity’ spell, but he actually owns<\/strong> the property that features at the film’s beginning, and it’s in Brooklyn<\/strong> – so go figure !!<\/p>\n

funny, how you can come to NYC and spend your whole life trying to make it, only . . to back into success by way of a well-loved . . pastime !!
\nain’t that the truth !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\noh yeah, BERND NABER . . the art world’s newest break-out movie star, and his pals dumpster dive big time.
\nand yes, TRADER JOE’S . . is<\/strong> his FAVE !!
\ngood cheese.<\/p>\n

watch: the trailer \/ ‘SPOILS: EXTRAORDINARY HARVEST’ – a film by ALEX MALLIS<\/a><\/p>\n

and with those fighting words, dumpster diving and success in the art world in the same sentence, we’ll leave you to contemplate your<\/strong> own private Idaho<\/a> potato.
\ner, I mean dreams . . .
\nfor awhile.<\/p>\n
