Elizabeth Peyton wearing Marc Jacobs spring 2009 on Tuesday, October 7, 8–10 p.m.“Live Forever: Elizabeth Peyton” Opening Reception
Marc Jacobs's spring 2009 collection was one of my favorites- I love how he mixed my 2 favorite fashion eras: YSL cabine with grunge.
Elizabeth Peyton (born 1965) is an American painter who rose to popularity in the mid-1990s. She is a contemporary artist best known for stylized and idealized portraits of her close friends, pop celebrities, and European monarchy.
Her celebrity subjects have included Noel and Liam Gallagher of the rock band Oasis, Julian Casablancas of The Strokes, Jarvis Cocker of Pulp, Chloë Sevigny, Princes William and Harry of The House of Windsor, Abraham Lincoln, Graham Coxon, Keith Richards, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Eminem, Ludwig II of Bavaria, and members of The Kennedy Family.
Elizabeths art is sincerely honest. Not only is she talented, but she can pull off a total look just four weeks off the runway.
