Getting Tanked

The all too famous men's white tank top, also known as the A-tee,Wife Beater, Guido-Tee (and several other slang terms) but, most importantly known as the undershirt.  Did you get that UNDERSHIRT where we wish it would remain.

The white cotton tank has been severely misused as a fashion accessory. Let's be clear here, they are less about form, and more about function and are indeed intended as an undergarment. Even when you are dining in South Beach, you really should be in something with sleeves.

Couture Quote

"A woman has to be intelligent, have charm, a sense of humor, and be kind. It's the same qualities I require from a man." - Catherine Deneuve 

Artist to Know

Elizabeth Peyton:

Her most common genre is oil paint, applied with washy glazes that intentionally show the drip.  The use of known celebrities as subjects, has led some critics to characterize Peyton's work as "paying a visit to Andy Warhol." Her work is characterized by elongated, slender figures with androgynous features and at times resembles fashion illustration.

Her celebrity subjects have included Chloë Sevigny, Princes William and Harry, Abraham Lincoln, Graham Coxon,Keith Richards, John Lennon, Marc Jacobs, Kurt Cobain, Eminem, Ludwig II of Bavaria, and members of The Kennedy Family.

She continues to show her work in many respected museums and galleries globally 

and is the main subject of several books.
