Here is a sneak peek at a creative collaboration of designer Nicholas Kirkwood and the estate of famed street Pop artist Keith Haring.  Haring’s minimalistic graffiti styled art work was all over NYC throughout the 80′s.  His giant street murals caught the attention of visitors from all over the world and has become iconic in the pop culture art, music and fashion.

This is some of what designer Nicholas Kirkwood had to say about his inspiration and ideas for the Keith Haring inspired designs.

“I watched this documentary called The Universe of Keith Haring, and though I know his style, I hadn’t seen the breadth of his work. I couldn’t stop thinking about how amazing and prolific he was and how great it would be to incorporate his graphics into my designs,” Kirkwood explained. “So I ended up approaching the Keith Haring Foundation. I had to really sell them the product, but I think they’re pretty happy with the end result.

Extraordinary meets the unexpected in A CROSS THE UNIVERSE, which follows Grammy-nominated French duo Justice as they embark on their second U.S. tour. Co-directed by multi-award winning directors and intimate friends of the band, Romain Gavras (Stress director) and So-Me (D.A.N.C.E., DVNO), the fi lm documents every second of the three week tour that translates into surreal, weird, horrendous, fascinating, and paranormal moments that are not only about how cool Justices live shows are, but are about the extraordinary things that can happen when a bunch of frogs are dropped in dreamy America. This film contains mature subject matter that may not be appropriate for all ages. You’ve been warned.

The most stylish celebs were spotted out at the opening party for the Chanel Mobile Art in New York. When the designer Karl Lagerfeld throws a party, you can be assured that the hottest celebs will be on the guest list. I love Agyness’ rock style as usual in a grey jersey Chanel jacket and killer heels. I am just very curious about which style Karl liked the most…at the night.
