Neon lights slicing through mist and disappearing. Turning a mirrored corner. Catching a glimpse of beautiful people. City streets twinkling beyond the glass. If there were no tomorrow, we’d be nowhere else but here…
That was Saturday’s afterparty at Le Bain, but it could have easily been captured as a moment in time and added to Diplo’s 128 Beats Per Minute. Until April 11th, Milk Gallery presents photos from the book, which features photography by Shane McCauley and a foreward by Alexander Wang.
As you might imagine, Milk + Diplo + ShaneMcCauley + Alexander Wang > epic. Take epic and raise it some Mad Decent (Diplo’s record label) and you get just a glimmer of the launch party, which was studded with power players both in person and in the photos on display. We were spoiled by the cornucopia of stylesetters. Not surprisingly, there were sheer skirts galore and several partygoers with skateboard in hand. One trend that we loved was the varsity jacket on both men and women. Our favorite moment of the night occurred with the photos as the backdrop for a (very) slow motion dance-off between a tiny fascinator-wearing girl and a floor-length tunic, giant headphone-wearing guy.
Check out this exhibition at Milk Gallery while it lasts! And, for the full version, you can pick up 128 Beats Per Minute either at Milk or at Urban Outfitters.
Perhaps the headphones were a fascinator of sorts.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a fascinating evening. ;)
