We admit it, we have two fixations in life: the Milk franchise (Gallery, Studio, you name it), and headwear. So you can imagine our excitement on Tuesday when we strolled into Milk Gallery for opening night of Cliff Watts’ book only to discover a space full of not only provocative photographs, but also be-hatted attendees. We saw fedoras galore, pageboy caps, turbans, and the fun fedora meets Robin Hood hat pictured above.
Milling about, vodka in hand, we basked in the beauty of both the crowd and the exhibit. Another important takeaway we gleaned from the event is that the 90’s truly are having a resurgence, particularly when it comes to a high waist above which peeks out an exposed midriff. Although we may change our mind and ultimately champion this movement, our initial reaction is that we are not yet ready to return to Sweet Valley High.
On the other hand, there were no such sartorial distraction in Watts ’ photos, which portray nudes in the wilderness. From afar, it appears at times that the two have indeed become one. Don’t take our word for it, though, check out the exhibit through February 4th at Milk Gallery (450 West 15th Street ).
