don't stop loving, mr. brainwash

Sunday, October 9th 2011

What is more inspiring than street art??? It is the core of creativity stemming from every walk of life. In fact, a few months ago the MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) had an exhibit demonstrating the original street art which began in Brazil many years ago. We never made it to the exhibit, but if it was anything like the Mr. Brainwash exhibit - I am so sad we missed it! Much like fashion, street art is an ever evolving canvas. It can start as a little scribble and layer into a masterpiece. Whether you are walking an exhibit in a museum, strolling La Brea at the Mr. Brainwash exhibit, or exploring life in an exciting country like Brazil - we have one piece of advice.....be fearless and wear bordeaux velvet Keds. Like street art, be free, be colorful, be you <3

"Fear is not an option" those words said by DVF changed me. I was reading an interview in the Influence coffee table book by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. In the interview DVF expressed that her mother as a survivor of the Holocaust believed that living without fear was the only way to live your dream. Right then and there I decided. Fashion was where I belonged. It is an artful expression that drapes us, and each day we have a new canvas to paint.

We all have a story to tell, but for now I will share just what you need to know. I was born to an Iraqi-Czech parental unit in New York City. After ten years life lead me to live and study in other metropolis: Palm Beach, Seattle, Los Angeles... Each place with its own pace and style. It was my time spent living in Israel and traveling throughout Europe that instilled an edgy chic in my step. Today I live and love in New York City.

Kim is both inspiring and natural. She was born in Paris to a Polish mother and Tunisian father who exposed her to the ever changing world of fashion. Growing up modeling for Naf Naf, her father's then company, and playing dress up in her mothers wardrobe - the stage was set for Kim. Fashion was her calling. Over the years she lived between Paris and Brussels until the fateful day she moved to LA to further pursue her education.

Having been raised in an international and entrepreneurial family Kim learned that anything is possible so long as you put forth the effort to achieve your dreams. Her passion for the artful expression of fashion lays in its interpretation. She recognizes the relevance of perspective knowing that each person has come from a different walk of life and such is the beauty of style. No two people are the same and that is to be celebrated. Like history, you need to know where fashion began to know where it is going.
