"Seeing Through The Material" windows by Benjamin Shine at Bergdorf Goodman (nice play on words!)
Fashion's formidably elite have found favor in the floating faces of Benjamin Shine. In 2013, Riccardo Tsici collaborated with Shine to create a series of sweatshirts--Madonna and Madonna & Child--for Givenchy's S/S 2013 collection. A collaborative piece--Face Coat--was recently commissioned by John Galliano for Maison Margiela's Artisanal collection this past Paris Fashion Week. Until August 3rd, "Seeing Through the Material"--Shine's latest endeavor is on display in the 5th Ave. windows of Bergdorf Goodman. The magnificient oeuvres d'art require 40 - 50 hours (eyes open = up to 100+ hours!) of handiwork, 20 yards of tulle, many needles, thread and an iron. Keep reading to see all 5...
Iconic piece--the only one with open eyes; this took 100 hours to complete
"It's about trying to find order within chaos, which is kind of like everyday life. Trying to find that moment of clarity, peace, everything makes sense, everything's coming to you, and it's clear"
-Benjamin Shine
Emotional moment...
Peaceful...
Being in the moment...
