Neiman Marcus opens in Walnut Creek
From the NM Daily:
Neiman Marcus opens its 42nd store in Walnut Creek, CA on March 9. Above the entryway, an extraordinary kinetic sculpture by Ned Kahn dramatically reflects the sunlight and engages the wind. The piece looks like it is alive — breathing and dancing in response to the natural environment. Titled “Wind Fins”, the piece was commissioned especially for the store. It measures approximately 30’ tall by 40’ wide and is comprised of 700 fins, each 3’ long by 6’ tall by 1/16” thick. The fins are made from perforated aluminum which allows them to undulate easily in the wind.
Time Out New York cites Activaire’s monthly party “BIG FUN” as a Critic’s Pick.
Activaire creates the soundtrack for Adele favorite, Barbara Tfank.
With an explosion of great collections, this was possibly the most exciting NYFW ever. Activaire styled music for Barbara Tfank’s presentation to express a modern woman with classic style. Sophie Vartan is the muse for the F/W 2012 collection, which features dresses that have been worn by Michelle Obama and Adele. Michelle wore a sapphire dress by Tfank for the 2012 State of the Union, and Adele wore a green and black dress at The Grammy’s. In an article for InStyle, Barbara Tfank talks about dressing Adele.
