Throughout time, fashion and fine art have intermixed and influenced one another. Both a form of self expression, they continually activate new aesthetic perspectives in our evolving culture. The vision of the designer and the artist come to life in Paper Dolls, April 24th at Factory Girl. 

Owner and visionary of Factory Girl, Heather Mayo, will be unveiling her new capsule line in addition to an exciting, limited series of bags collaboratively conceived with Samantha McCurdy.

The evening will be highlighted with new works by WAAS Gallery's, Caroline Oliver, and a special presentation given by Brandy Michele Adams.

 Complimentary Valet and Bar will be available.

8 Million Petals over Costa Rica

Watch what happens when you put 8 million flower petals into a volcano. Although this is a marketing campaign for Sony’s new 4k TV, I couldn't resist sharing for inspirational purposes! Sony partnered with ad agency McCann and photographer Nick Meek to create this magnificent scene (no CGI used). Apparently it took their people two weeks to collect the these beautiful and vibrant-coloured flower petals and leaves.
