Exhibit mention in Harpers!

[kambriel]

Thanks to a heads up from scarletfaewind, I found out that the August copy of Harper's Bazaar is listing the upcoming Gothic: Dark Glamour exhibition on its "Hot List"!



Not only that, but I was thrilled to see there is also an art nouveau jewelry exhibition called Imperishable Beauty going on in Boston at the same time! I was already wanting to make a quick trip up to Boston/Salem afterwards if time permitted since JetBlue lets you fly in/out of different cities for no additional charge as a chance to visit local friends and haunts for a day or two before getting back to work, so now this has become a must! (For those of you who don't know, I adore art nouveau jewelry ~ I even wrote an in-depth article on it for "The Sentimentalist" magazine several years ago.)

Also, we found a new place to move into! This means the next couple of weeks will involve cleaning it top to bottom, replacing carpet and removing wallpaper, (and let's not forget the actual moving itself) in any hour that can be squeezed in between the other stuff going on. If you're expecting an email from me, it might take a bit longer than usual, but rest assured I'll be responding pronto as soon as I can :)

OMG! Kambriel...this is a big, big deal...are you like falling apart from excitement or what?

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

It's pretty amazing! I can't wait to see the exhibit in person since it sounds like they're really working to make it extra-special ~ and still am so humbled that they asked to include some of my work in it! Makes me wish I were in NYC all the months it will be running, just so I could go and gaze upon all the beauty that will doubtlessly be there, as much as possible :)

Thank goodness they made a book to go along with it, so we'll have something to remember it by afterwards... That way I'll be more convinced it isn't all a dream!

[theblackdeer.livejournal.com]

My dear, after all the many long years of hard work and toiling away at your designs, you really do deserve this. :)

[victorianrose23.livejournal.com]

go Kambriel! That's so awesome!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling it's going to be popping up in lots of places ~ it's quite exciting... I wish you could come to the opening with us!

[victorianrose23.livejournal.com]

I wish I could too! That would be so awesome. As it is, I guess I'll have to settle for seeing you at Convergence ;)

[setsuna.livejournal.com]

First of all, congratulations! Will you be keeping hard copies of magazines with mentions like this?

(I thought you lived in NYC too, alas!)

Best of luck with the move. As for the exhibition... uh oh. That's like a no-touchie candy store...

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Sure, if I find something cool on it, I'll definitely pick up a copy ~ I'm betting they'll have some kind of exhibit programs as well, so I'll be sure to keep an eye out for them!

You're not the first person to think I live in NYC, how interesting... I've had that happen for London before too, who knows ~ maybe someday :)

And I hear you on the candy store analogy ~ I have a feeling at that Art Nouveau jewelry exhibit, I'll be *wishing* some of the pieces were available for purchase, and then I'll be wishing they'd cost what they did 100 years ago!

[setsuna.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan! Just pick up all the (heavy!) paperwork after your move!

I think it was the intense work required for the exhibition? I got the impression you were personally dressing the mannequins, etc! (Not sure where that came from!) Or perhaps I thought it was that ashbet was coming to visit you in NYC for the opening of the exhibit... but just not the possibility that you could have to journey down (up?) to see it too!

Oh, pretty jewels. I tend to like to take a camera to remember favorite pieces with, if they allow it!

Which reminds me. After you pointed out that hidden bat in that brocade, I took to designing laces the following day, and one day have to come up with some kind of bat-lace concoction to share with you, if I can translate what's in my head onto paper. (It doesn't always work that well!)

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

ashbet and I are both travelling up for the exhibit ~ though I do wish I'd be up there the entire time it's running since it seems they'll have a range of exciting things going on to coincide with it :)

The bat lace sounds fantasic ~ definitely something I'd pick up if I saw it!

[setsuna.livejournal.com]

Ah, that makes a bit more sense now! Oooooh, I hope to find out about these goings on!

(I sort of "just" discovered FIT... ahem.)

I think lace patterns have the potential to be overdone, to be messy and cluttered, though... devising an elegant one... hm, yes, should try it! (Though I wonder how one might get from a drawing to actually making a lace from it?)

[mina-lafleur.livejournal.com]

That's wonderful, many congratulations! :D

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Isn't the watercolour Rodarte gown they featured beautiful? I love how it flows into the Art Nouveau exhibit theme as well...

[noxenlux.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the new place! :D

and yey for mention in Harper's Bazaar!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Having the "where to live" question answered, is a huge weight off my mind. Now just to figure out how to fit the move in with everything else... At least we've arranged to have the carpet replaced while we're at C14 so that will be one less thing to do :)

You're going to be so happy with the gown I made to wear with your hat ~ I've been working on it non-stop for days, and it's finally to the point of just a few more finishing touches and it will be ready. We should be able to get some terrific photos with this!

[noxenlux.livejournal.com]

I just have to worry about making more hats... (ok and some how making my house payment) I have 3 large events in august. C14, Dances of Vice in NY, and Bumbershoot in seattle... I think I might just be a little crazy.

I can't wait to see the gown! I bet it'll be awesome :D

Good luck with getting all those lovely housing things taken care of :( They're not fun at all, but finally having a place should hella take a load off. :D

I'll see you in just a little while at C14 :D

Hats

[dali-muse.livejournal.com]

I was just thinking about how many of Carlee's hats would work in the fashion show. Maybe most of us can be outfitted in Noxenlux Chapeau?

Re: Hats

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

There might be a couple ~ I know you're wearing the striped one :)

[velvetdahlia.livejournal.com]

That publicity is fantastic news! And I'm so glad you found a new place-- it's exciting! Best of luck with the move.

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I wish we hadn't had to deal with moving at the same time as preparations for this and other things, but somehow we'll make it all happen and it's so good to have that big question of where finally answered :)

[limemanga.livejournal.com]

Incredible news all around!!! ^___^ YAY!

Best of everything to you and most positive wishes...ALWAYS!

Mary

Thank you Mary!

Several years ago, they had a huge Alphonse Mucha exibit at the art museum in Worcester. My mother actually came with me and it was jaw dropping to see his original pieces up close and personal. I bought a hefty book of his life and artwork. I was so giddy when I left there!

He is a huge influence on me and even a few pieces of my artwork.

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I remember a shop on Newbury Street in Boston that had some original Mucha lithographs (and prices to match) ~ it was stunning to just see them there like that unexpected though, pretty incredible.

I found out about the Worcester exhibit right after it closed ~ oh to wind back the clock of time on occasion!

[suntostars.livejournal.com]

I'm glad things are going so well for you!
Have fun with all your events!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thanks! One of my big goals is not to let the amount of things that need to be done overwhelm the sheer joy of remembering to *experience* things and be in the moment.

[curegrrlie.livejournal.com]

I am so excited for this exhibit!!! I will prolly spend all my relax time in there instead of upstairs in the library! I got into my graduating classes exhibition this past May, getting honored at FIT is so gratifying.

If you end up stuck for transportation options, I can help direct you in getting to Boston for cheap or for speed. Let me know :)

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I'm totally not surprised that you'd be honoured in such a way ~ as long as I've known you, you've always had such a flair for putting things together!

I've ridden the Peter Pan bus up to Boston from NYC before, but was hoping for a car ride this time since I will have lots of extra outfits on hand. Too bad your schedule probably doesn't permit it, because it would have been very cool to do a Boston sidetrip with you after the opening weekend :)

[curegrrlie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'll have pictures up of the event pretty soon...Been spending my summer outside and not at my desk as much as possible...so my photo blogging is a bit behind. It was the largest and grandest AAS exhibition FIT has done so far..so it was really exciting to be involved with that.

This semester is all knitwear and its the first semester of the BFA program..so I have no days off :( however....there is always the weekend ;)

Lucky Star Bus goes from chinatown to chinatown for only $15 one way....if you end up stuck with the bus..thats the cheapest flat out.

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness do I understand being behind on the photos ~ there are so many I've never posted, but meant to. Then it seems silly to try and catch up on all of them, so they end up languishing a bit...

We should try and plan to do something together that weekend ~ feel free to email me sometime if anything special comes to mind :)

[sworn-by-janus.livejournal.com]

More and more good news! I am so happy and excited for you!

I also just read about the Project Runway thing - awesome! Project Runway is my first *and longest lasting* t.v. addiction since we first got cable 3 years ago. I think you would have blown the judges away on every challenge. ;D

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thanks ~ I still need to check that show out sometime, I've heard good things about it!

[sworn-by-janus.livejournal.com]

Off topic, but had to tell you: The package came in yesterday; the earrings are gorgeous!
I wore them today and my friend's 6-year son told me they looked like daggers (my hair was covering their owly faces). I really do love them, thank you!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you like them! Thanks for letting me know :)

[jaborwhalky.livejournal.com]

It is going to be the best weekend evera

I am going to ask geoff about the ride, I do not drive (My eyes are not good enough for it) and he is the one with the car, I do know at the very least we could drive you to the New Haven train station and you can cut your train ride and cost in half by getting the train from New Haven to Boston.

But let me ask the Geoff if he is up for it.

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I may have something in the works now, but thanks for the offer just in case that's needed... besides, they do seem to have some pretty good pizza in New Haven ;)

[ashbet]

Oh, wow -- congratulations, sugar! I am SO excited about this show, and about seeing you there! :D :D :D

*hugs & kisses*

-- A <3

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited about *you* being there!
