I am leaving for Brooklyn soon and wanted to let everyone in NYC know that I will be doing an art show collaboration with the store THE BANQUET. I printed some napkins for the dinner party with my art. I think it's been almost 2 years since I visited NY. Here is the press release for the fancy affair...
theBANQUET boutique, located at 360 Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, is pleased to announce that they will be hosting a party on June 5th to celebrate their one year anniversary, featuring an installation of the Los Angeles based artist Kime Buzzelli’s work.“We’ve been fans and collectors of Kime’s for years and are so honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with her in our own shop. It has been such an incredible year and we couldn’t think of anyone better to help us celebrate.“ The event will feature a playful spread of Buzzelli’s dreamy, whimsical portraits, limited edition Plume bow belts and candy inspired necklaces, and Miranda Bennett’s Lady Luck Dress, designed just for the occasion, all in Buzzelli inspired colors and fabrics. Floral elements will be styled by the Brooklyn based duo, Quatre Ceour. Handmade linen napkins by theBANQUETand Kime Buzzelli, will also be available for purchase. For the evening only, a discount of 20% will be offered on Bennett and Johnston's Buzzelli inspired pieces. This will mark Buzzelli’s first show in New York City in some time and her first collaboration with both Bennett and Johnston. The Banquet is the collaboration of designers and friends Miranda Bennett and Pamela Johnston. The store exclusively houses Bennett's women's clothing line, Miranda Bennett Design, and Johnston's jewelry collection, Plume. Together the pair also select seasonal themes for their Archive line of vintage clothing, books, and home goods (currently they are exploring an Annie Hall theme). The Banquet name borrows from the idea of a communal, celebratory feast, much like the salons of the early 20th century. The pair have borrowed from this concept both with their monthly dinner parties where they converse with friends from the design and arts community, and in their approach to merchandising the store in the style of a lavish buffet. On any given day, one will find either Johnston or Bennett hosting customers in the shop. The party will be held Saturday, June 5th from 6 – 9 pm at theBANQUET, 360 Atlantic Avenue b/t Hoyt & Bond in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. Champagne and treats will be served. Please RSVP to info@thebanquetnyc.com or at 718 522 6906.
Hey Kime,
I'm a theatrical costume maker and have a little clothing line here in london. I just wanted to drop you a note to ask permission to put one of your pictures on my blog. I've put it on there with a link to your blog and a little blurb. Mine's only a new and little blog, and no one reads it but I thought I better ask. I also felt it was about time I came out of hiding just to thank you for your regular posting, you have always given me such amazing ideas and your images constantly fill my 'inspiration files' on my computer. Thank you for sharing your pictures with us, and even though I have never commented before I have been reading your blog for years.
Kind regards,
Alex
