Fashion & Art Collide with Rachel Perry Welty!

There's not much of a better art & fashion mix I could feature than the art of Rachel Perry Welty. Showing through July 6, 2012 at Yancy Richardson Gallery in Chelsea.  In this new series, shot for VOGUE, Welty all but disappears into pattern, fabric and color, delving into consumerism - and almost being swallowed whole by it!
These amazing works of art were viewed and analyzed by both art and fashion lovers who walked away highly inspired.  A few women were design students at Parsons and spoke of how they cut class and simply could not miss this show - with good reason!  

I love taking photos of those looking at art especially when they resemble in the art in some way. Thus, this photo.  Sneaking up on people is fun!  But seriously, notice how she does "fit in?" 
A look at the large framed pieces....

The show is part of a group series in Richardson's Project Gallery Space, part of The Party's Over show. Photos and features on that event coming up!
