LINDA FARROW + BOFFO

Linda Farrow + Neiheiser & Valle at the BOFFO space, Pier 54

Bright lights, sunglasses and lightweight gold beams complete an indoor mirrored beach--the handiwork of BOFFO's latest pairing of Linda Farrow and architects Neiheiser & Valle. Protesting the dark and snowy days of winter, the exquisite sunglass designer and innovative architects have created an artistic installation that tests the boundaries of minimalism and balance. Part artistic installation, part eyewear boutique, the pop up--inside a shipping container parked at Pier 54--showcases Farrow's current line as well as collaborations with Oscar de la Renta, Jeremy Scott, Alexander Wang and others. Take your pick from the vast selection, poised delicately on beams held in place by piles of loose gravel. Hurry by, as the temporary retail space will fold on Christmas eve.

BOFFO PRESENTS MICHAEL BASTIAN + BITTERTANG

The centerpiece of the main room featuring Michael Bastian shoes and George Frost jewelry 

Surrounded by a mound of hay and walls of wax, BOFFO presents Building Fashion 2013 featuring Bittertang and Michael Bastian. A bit off the beaten path, design farm (yes farm!) Bittertang has crafted a 2-room lair furnished with Little Red-Ridinghood-esque oddities at 15th Street's SuperPier 59. Patterned off painter Andrew Wyeth's melancholy fields, the 3-week pop-up is the 11th in a series of creative crossroads where culture, clothes and customized curiosity meet. From November 1st to 21st, the public is welcome to partake in the experience and purchase the goods.
