Gagosian Gallery - The Private Collection of Robert Rauschenberg

To those on a quest for fresh sartorial inspiration, we recommend a trip to the Gagosian Gallery.  At last night's opening reception for the Private Collection of Robert Rauschenberg, our senses were delightfully assailed by creative genius from the moment we entered the first of three floors encompassed by this exhibition.

We literally stood transfixed for an undetermined period of time before one wall, eyes shifting from James Rosenquist's winding Spaghetti to John Chamberlain's Untitled bright twisting steel, finally resting upon Andy Warhol's Gem, which gently sparkles with diamond dust. (Yes - diamond dust! Can we get Formichetti to use diamond dust on something please?!)

A few floors below, Mario Schifano's Untitled works put us in mind of color palettes to use in creating a fun mod outfit.

Robert Whitman's Shower drew the biggest crowd, as we spied a film of a woman showering, which played behind the wavy translucent plastic curtain of a running shower.

Styling Caveat: To those aspiring to join the artistic elite, it appears that capes (albeit of varying shapes and colors) are the outerwear of choice at the moment.
