The above image is from opening night of
Men's fashion week in Paris last week, where designer
Adam Kimmel showed off his fall-winter designs for 2010 on models who also wore custom-designed masks made by longtime Downtown art star
George Condo. The presentation was also unlike a traditional runway show in that there was no runway, but instead the models and audience members mingled in a fully functional casino set up for the event at
Yvon Lambert Gallery.
Artinfo has more pictures of the unusual evening, and you can catch Condo's grimacing characters next month when he makes his second appearance at the
Whitney Biennial.
