Art Wears: Designer Trina Turk on Southern California Fashion and Design
Filed under Fashion, Features, LA Iconoclasts Trina Turk |
In the land known for Hollywood celebrity antics and where fashion trends are determined by what stars wear, native California designer Trina Turk emerges with a fresh approach to fashion and a nod to bygone eras. Ms. Turk is no high fashion hypocrite-her personal style epitomizes the relaxed yet glamorous style that Los Angeles put on the fashion map.
Her love of the past, the desire for chic, yet comfortable clothing, and an artist’s flair for color and pattern are evident in her designs. “I mostly design for myself. Our customer is someone who is interested in fashion, but is not a fashion victim. A customer that wears our prints is definitely not a shy person or wall flower,” says Turk. Trina’s inspiration comes from modern design in architecture, sculpture, Japanese gardens, organic shapes and nature. Her home, personal style and ultimately, her designs, reflect the fervor she has for an aesthetic movement that transformed functional living into stylish living.

Historical Humanism — The Photography of Anthony Friedkin
no responses - Posted 01.07.12
I first saw Anthony Friedkin's work at the Stephen Cohen Gallery on Beverly Boulevard about six months ago. A large black and white fiber print of four overly muscled prisoners who were in full-body jackets of gangbanging tattoos. The four men stood shirtless, in the exercise yard at Folsom prison, their arms wrapped around one another, skin to skin. The ... continue -
Los Angles at Art Basel Miami Beach
no responses - Posted 01.07.12
Amidst the howling cacophony of contemporary art, Los Angeles work was solidly represented at Art Basel Miami Beach and at the countless satellite shows that surround and envelope it. At the Miami Beach Convention center, Regan Projects commanded a commodious prime corner spot on the Art Basel stage with their California-centric art selling briskly-well. Over at Art Miami, Peter Fetterman, photographed ... continue -
In Recognition of an LA-Centric Art Market Trend
no responses - Posted 01.07.12
Over the past few decades, Los Angeles has played host to more than its fair share of artists whose work did not conform to the fashions and trends of the day. It could be said that LA became, and still is, a haven for artists whose desire to stay true to their creative spirit and artistic philosophy outweighs the ... continue -

Art as a Gift that Keeps on Giving! The Art of Elysium’s Jennifer Howell: A Profile
no responses - Posted 01.07.12
It is entirely fitting that a person intent on actually cultivating elysium, the Greek word referring to a place or condition of ideal happiness, would be embraced wholeheartedly by the culture of Los Angeles. Already well examined as a site where the seemingly impossible becomes possible, L.A., home to a mind-boggling plethora of creative talent, is also notably a ... continue -

John Waguespack Deconstructs Hollywood
no responses - Posted 01.07.12
Painter John Waguespack is the consummate outsider artist. A former ad agency creative director, he hasn't looked back since opting out of his day job to pursue a full-time painting career. Waguespack's second solo show, "Deconstructing Hollywood," is on view through January 21st at the esteemed McLoughlin Gallery at 49 Geary. As a testament to his ability, Waguespack scored an uncharacteristic ... continue
