"The thing that first drew my attention to SuperTrash was the element of fun," Luisa
De Paula, My-Wardrobe's buying and merchandising director told us. "The collection consists of bright
prints, flirty dresses and dramatic colours - as well as boyfriend cardigans, and feminine blouses -
meaning there is something for almost everyone. The collection's mixed American and European
roots are evident in the kaleidoscope of colours, fabrics and design content - and the fantastic price
point means it's totally guilt-free shopping."
SuperTrash is joining other top designers on My-Wardrobe.com such asVivienne Westwood, J Brand,
Elizabeth and James plus many more. As you’ve probably heard, SuperTrash just recently launched
in the US over this past fashion week in New York and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

24 different countries across Europe and Asia and celebrity fans include Rachel Bilson,
Victoria Beckham, Paris Hilton and more.

 

Emmanuel Fremin Gallery is pleased to announce its participation at Red Dot
New York 2010. We will be showing the astounding works of six contemporary
artists, Thomas Barbey, Francoise Ben Arous, Michel Giliberti, Kilu, Drew Tal
and our new addition, photographer Sean Basil MacGyver. We will be located
at Booth 115.

Artists info:
Thomas Barbey: Thomas Barbey is a master at mixing pictures. His art known
as photo montage is the process of artfully combining two or more photographs to come up with a
convincingly real art piece. For all of those who just read the description of photo montage and
thought ‘oh yea, I am a master at mixing too.’ - think again ’cause there’s a lot more than meets the
mind, but then again that’s part of the illusion that Thomas Barbey perfects.

Sean Basil MacGyver: Our newest edition to our gallery, MacGyver, is recently graduated with a
Masters in Digital photography at SVA ( 2008 ), His bold, racy images created a stir during Art Basel
Miami when a digital billboard company went on strike and refused to show his images because of
their graphic nature. MacGyver works casts humor on darker themes such as sexual deviation,
overindulgence and search for spiritual identity.

Francoise Ben Arous: French Born artist, Ben Arous is a uniquely talented artist that incorporates
Asian Joss Paper ( a traditional mourning paper used in Asian funerals as requiem for the deceased)
to created fluidly textured collages and compositions on canvas. The gold and silver papers of
lament glimmers in the light and allows the numerous dimensions to be displayed with an eye
catching glow permitting the shapes and blazing reflective surface and patterns to awaken.
Her work is deliberately reminiscent of Eastern philosophy; the cyclical and ongoing process of life
and death, regeneration and destruction, beginning and end, the processes that recycle the ever
changing shapes and entities of life.

Michel Giliberti: Born in Tunisia. French artist, painter and photograph Michel Giliberti defines the
art as a continuity of his childhood. The classics that marked this fundamental time in his life remain
“The raft of Medusa”, “Dante and Virgil in Hell” and “Mona Lisa” bringing to light his esthetic approach
for delving into topics of social, psychoanalytical and political nature. Giliberti is not afraid of
showing the blood, the tears, so that the trouble, the breaking point and the absence of landmarks
become many open doors which give the audience the desire to carry on the journey and to make
this language, history and message belong to them.

Kilu: award-winning (Chelsea International Fine Art Competition) New York based artist of German
origin. Capturing the intangible with his camera, Kilu performs his darkroom alchemy to reveal mystic
colors and depths . His magical abstractions explore light as a continuous form and manipulating its
every meander and gesture through digital and photographic process, his work has been exhibited in
New York City and Zurich and also published in many magazines worldwide.KILU' s latest body of
work; "Rays" a creative light-
sculpture installation that utilizes colorful laser lights showing his trademark aesthetic and
contemplative atmosphere.

Drew Tal: Tal lives and works in New York. His striking work combines photography with digital media
to render highly stylized and realistic figurative imagery. Growing up in Israel, Tal was exposed from
an early age to a world of multiple ethnicity, surrounded by many religions, cultures and conflicts.
Reflecting from his own narrative on those subjects, Tal consistently draws inspiration from his
homeland to recreate a personal approach to human portraiture. Focusing on faces and dramatic
close-up portraits, Tal's composition suggests palpable notes of human contention as well as spiritual
transcendence with an underlying uniform beauty. Monks, androgynous characters, religious figures,
angels and demons are his singular emblems of portrayal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Local Scene

Before its incarnation as a trendy locale, SoHo was known as the Cast Iron District because of the many buildings incorporating cast iron architectural elements.

 

 

Fun Facts

In October 1962, the City Club of New York published a report on the city's underutilized commercial areas. It was called The Wastelands of New York City, and characterized SoHo as an enormous commercial slum.
