HEATHER HUEY HAT SHOP UNTIL SUNDAY OCT 3, 2010

This past Thursday evening, fashion celebrated the opening of New York-based milliner Heather Huey’s two new collections and 10 day pop-up shop at Building Fashion. Located at 504 W. 24th street under the highline, Huey paired with the design firm Urban A&O to convert the HL23 tin into an art installation space with a wall of retail. The first installation, Cocoon, consists entirely of scrap felt meticulously sewn together to create organic body sculptures and headwear. In the second, titled Asylum, Huey revisits her widely recognized black cage collection (worn by Daphne Guinness and Lara Stone); this time the exoskeletons are entirely in white.

Co-hosted by Patti Wilson and Michelle Harper, fashion notables attending this party included: Andre Walker (Tiwimuta Publisher and Marc Jacobs Design Consultant), Robert Knoeke (Artist), Bil Donovan (Dior Illustrator), Masha Orlov (Stylist), Anne Koch (Artist), Katherine Zarella (Fashion Journalist / Dossier), Antwan Duncan (Interview “man about town”), Siki Im (Designer), Sebastian Kim (Photographer), Victor De Souza (Designer), and Corinna Springer (Nouveau PR founder) among many others.

Heather Huey’s designs have been featured in Vogue Italia, W Magazine, Interview, Numero France, Purple, and Harper’s Bazaar. Visitors can see Huey’s creations in person and try on a hat for purchase until Sunday, October 3rd, and can find the store hours on the designer’s site: https://heatherhuey.com/. According to sponsors BOFFO and Building Fashion, Huey is the second in a lineup of five designers to occupy the space (the first was Simon Spurr). Following Huey will be installations by House of Waris, Richard Chai, and Siki Im.
