LIVE ALIVE — Tour t–shirts created by SANDBERG&TIMONEN, dedicated to fashion lovers favorite heros, presented at the BRACHFELD GALLERY.

FEBRUARY 4TH–28TH, 2010
OPENING RECEPTION
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4TH, 7–10 PM

––––––––––––––––––––
An exhibition that pays homage to the men and women who rock our fashion world, and the fans that love them… Sandberg&Timonen have created a series of Concert tourt–shirts for a selected group of our most revered style icons. For those who can remember the first fashion show they dared sneak into, or for those who are still doing it; for the people who have packed away their scrapbooks of magazine cut outs filled with dreams of teenage escapism, and for those that are still cutting and pasting… From Alber Elbaz to Haider Ackermann, Rick Owens to Miuccia Prada, a label is more than its clothes. The broad scope of influences our fashion heros have, and the media attention they garner, is an ever growing sphere. Their power of inspiration and excitement extend into a multitude of channels. Designers are at the epicenter of a worldwide community; they are the sparks, leaders, and directors who inspire us all. Distressed, size medium black cotton t–shirts with white print. All t–shirts are created in a limited series 8. All proceeds will benefit Medecins Sans Frontiéres and their efforts in Haiti.
