Orly Genger, in Madison Square Park

"I wanted to create spaces within the park that people can walk into and feel like they were being held," says Genger.

"The piece is made up of about 1.4 million feet of reclaimed lobster rope, which was collected all across the eastern seaboard," says Genger.

Ms. Genger, 34, has delivered her largest and most labor-intensive work yet, a public sculpture in Madison Square Park called “Red, Yellow and Blue.” On view through Sept. 8, it’s made of 1.4 million feet of hand-crocheted lobster-fishing rope

Miuccia PRADA do the "THE GREAT GATSBY"

If you are as excited as I am for this remake of "The Great Gatsby" and that you can't wait until May 10 stop by the Broadway Prada store where forty costumes from the big party scene are on display.

Working very closely with the movie costume designer Catherine Martin, Miuccia Prada describe the pieces as "period accurate but modern at the same time"

You know I am not a big fan of Prada but what she did for Baz Luhrmann movie look spectacular and look even better on the screen. May I suggest that she forget fashion and do costumes...
