Kevin Erskine Supercell at Milk Studios



A humble grin and a firm handshake are the mark of a farmer from Nebraska. This particular farmer (Kevin Erskine) is not the weather-worn cowboy one might expect. No, he is weather warrior.


Nebraska, you ask? We know, you are confused about this sudden connection with the midwest. Never fear, though, for the midwest has come to us! That is, on the walls of Milk Studios, where a selection of photos from Kevin Erskine's new book, Supercell, coat the walls until April 1st. 






Taken in the midst of huge storms across the flat midlands of North America, the photos evoke fearsome intensity that is somehow tempered by the muted colors that one observer dubbed "God's brushstrokes" across the sky (as you can see in the above selection from the collection).



In case you were wondering what to 

wear, we will of course synopsize the crowd. As always, a gathering at Milk inspired the fashion forward to curate their most interesting amalgamations of SS12. Happily, we eyed abundant neon (pastel GREEN neon to be specific), swooning over one neon + art deco broach combination. But you've already heard about that from us. Another spring trend popped out - the floral. Sadly, no one opted for the head-to-toe floral (and yes, we curse ourselves daily for not having been the one rogue human poppy field in the room), but check out one art-lover's muumuu-meets-floral take on the trend:



Anyway, if you get the chance, we recommend a visit! Perhaps on a nice spring day followed by a picnic on the Highline with some provisions from Chelsea Market.
