Last Week in NYC

Posted by pece at 5:39 AM

SPRING has truly arrived in New York City with the grand opening of London's TOP SHOP down on Broadway in Soho...

Of course flowers too are bursting out all over like here on 5th Avenue and 58th street.

The city has kindly planted masses of tulips on many streets....

The trees this spring are pretty spectacular like here in front of The Plaza Hotel...

You can not truly experience spring in NYC without munching on a Sabrett hot dog...the taste will not be spectacular but it's a very New Yorkie thing to do...

Dean & Deluca's floral selection has exploded. Choices, choices...

Over on Madison Avenue, Barney's windows are full of the "Blue Project" - they gave top New York designers some old scraps of blue jeans and said, "Go create!"

British Designer Matthew Williamson rocked H&M last Thursday but I got there on Friday...TOO $%^#@ LATE for this jacket :(

Back in the new TOP SHOP these shoes rocked the joint...

As did the massive throngs of lookers...

At the Society of Illustrators on East 63d street there's a wonderful show of fashion illustrations not to be missed if you love drawing!

The master of fashion drawing, Kenneth Paul Block was the central focus of the show...

I LOVE these wild and free sketches of Richard Rosenfeld...

How can you not feel nostalgia for this sketch/doodle of master draftsman, Joe Eula of Jackie Onassis being fitted at Halstons...

And Joe Eula did these quickie sketches for Halston's first collection since he didn't own a polaroid camera! The exhibit closes May 1. Run and see it if you love beautiful drawings. I went twice...
