view from my room at the Grand Hotel in Amsterdam
Dear Shaded Viewers,
I was a bit of a jet setter last night going to Amsterdam for an Art Dinner but…who can refuse an invitation by Fantastic Man?
The first suspended sculpture of artist Alon Levin
Collage by Helen Verhoeven
The art dinner was held in what was once a Gentlemen's Reading Club, later Sotheby's Dutch HQ and currently the fabulous Tommy Hilfiger headquarters in Amsterdam. The Opening exhibition of artists Helen Verhoeven and Alon Levin was the first of what is likely to become a biannual happening where art meets fashion chez Hilfiger. When Fantastic Man is involved you can be sure that every detail was given much thought and the atmosphere was warm and beautiful. I was very happy with the seating across from me was Emily, Frieze/Gentlewoman and Fantastic Man's Jop, on my left Cecile, RdC Elle Holland and on my right my old friend Tim Blanks.
Fantastic Man's Gert Jonkers and Style.com's Tim Blanks escorted me back to my hotel. How lucky was I?
