Louis Armstrong said, "There is no such thing as 'on the way out' as long as you are still doing something interesting and good; you're in the business because you're breathing" which could not be more true than at an event like the oh so inspiring Art Basel. Oh, so you're in Manhattan realizing that that fall jacket just isn't cutting it anymore? Well, hop on the first non-stop flight to Miami and join the other art and fashion enthusiasts who are enjoying the sunshine, the beach and, most importantly, the 11th annual Art Basel art show.
The show exhibits more than 2,000 individual artists and around 260 art galleries from continents all across the globe, including North America, Europe, Asia and Africa. The show highlights the talents of both household-name artists and up-and-coming artists whose individual works are the talk of the art world. From sculptures, collages, paintings to fashion pieces, Art Basel has it all... so why aren't you there... or more importantly, why am I not there?
At first, we know you're wondering why we would cover this because MyDROBE mainly discusses more fashionable topics, but that's just it!! There couldn't be a more perfect example of fashion. Art is fashion, and fashion is art, remember? Not only that, but the next three days are filled with events like last night's Chanel and Vanity Fair parties or the Le Baron party that changes location every night... are you drooling yet? Champagne, sun, art, fabulous people and clothing!? Yes please!
Although we aren't entirely keen on the experts' artistic terminology - like really, what's a "Jugendstil art piece?" - we appreciate beauty, talent and artistic vision when we see it. Beinvenido a Miami Drobers!
With Style,
Your MyDROBE Team
