Teatro Armani: At the flashpoint of the downtown New York 80’s art scene, Richard Hambleton was one of the founding contributors of the burgeoning art community. Along with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, he created a sensation in the early 1980’s that is still relevant today. Hambleton’s army of shadow silhouettes are reminders of human life – vulnerable and intense. Hambleton today remains the only surviving member of that early cutting-edge downtown art movement, and continues to live and create in the neighbourhood to which he laid claim for over thirty years.

Giorgio Armani Fall – Winter 2010/2011 Collection. “Times change and change brings with it a new concept of chic: an indefinable attitude and mood that is not limited to the eternally reliable black skirt and white shirt, but explores nuance and shade, and interplays and contrasts, which define an unmistakable style and taste. In the new chic, nothing is vague, approximate or uncertain – instead all is precisely stated in shape and colour, proceeding from black to a world charged with vigour of coral red and Tibetan orange.” Writes Armani about the collection.
