Today’s our last day in Vegas for Project and FN Platform and we’ve been surrounded by the latest in apparel and accessories design.  It’s been great to see old friends and make new ones but we’re looking forward to heading back to New York.  We’ve worked and played hard in Vegas and can’t wait to share with you our recap next week…stay tuned!

The convention centers in Las Vegas are massive and the number of booths can get overwhelming and it’s really easy to feel small in the space, so when we found this image of Charles LeDray’s work it was quite refreshing.

“For over 20 years, New York-based artist Charles LeDray has created handmade sculptures in stitched fabric, carved bone, and wheel-thrown clay. LeDray painstakingly fashions smaller-than-life formal suits, embroidered patches, ties, and hats, as well as scaled-down chests of drawers, doors, thousands of unique, thimble-sized vessels, and even complex models of the solar system.”

LeDray’s latest exhibit, CHARLES LEDRAY: workworkworkworkwork is currently on display at the ICA in Boston and will travel to the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.  On display are 50 sculptures and installations, from LeDray’s early works to the first U.S. presentation of MENS SUITS (2006-2009), his highly acclaimed project presenting three complex, small-scale vignettes of second-hand clothing shops.
