Before Photography, I studied Fashion Illustration at Parson's. I've been following Richard Haines casually super elegant work on Instagram and on his wildly popular blog, What I Saw Today. And now Daniel Cooney Gallery is showing Haines work up close and personal. I wouldn't miss it!

Not all of the images above are in the exhibition, but you may find them on Instagram....

SLANE: New Name | New Logo Design

  Landon Slane's Collection Preview at The Lambs Club

Landon Slane and Alexander Vreeland, SLANE President and COO

[2012 update: Vreeland is now President of Diana Vreeland LLC]

"I returned to NY in order to find projects that could both fascinate me and give me new challenges. I have found all of this and more in Slane." –Alexander Vreeland on his move from Paris to New York

Landon and Heath Slane

"Bi-coastal sisters Heath and Landon Slane joined creative forces in 1995 to design a line of high end sterling silver jewelry. Their vision for the collection was then and remains today a varied mix of influences to include: architecture, nature and spiritual symbols. Each of their collections represents both their philosophical and aesthetic sensibility.

Drawn to the healing and transformative powers of jewelry, Heath and Landon continue to welcome a collaborative approach to the design process and to the creative realization of jewelry totems which afford comfort or meaning to their owners. Collections consist of an array of shapes and textures which have numerous classical influences with contemporary appeal. Designing a palette from which women could create their own SLANE (formerly known as Slane & Slane) look has been the intention of the design-duo since the company’s inception. An unintended but celebrated distinction in the business is its founding and operation by women, who design for women.

Heath serves on the board of Los Angeles based Street Poets, a poetry-based peace-making organization dedicated to the creative process as a force for individual and community transformation. Heath has been a board member since 1998. Landon has served on the board of DreamYard since 1995. DreamYard is a New York-based organization which transforms Bronx public schools and communities through the power of project-based arts learning.Heath and Landon have only used 100% recycled sterling silver and eighteen karat gold which is 80% recycled. All diamonds are conflict free."– Website

I moved to NYC to illustrate, but the market was shrinking and going to photography (ahem) and I was so intimidated by my heros - Antonio and Kenneth Paul Block, that I decided to switch over to fashion design. I worked with Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis, Sean Combs, Bill Blass, J.Crew...it was a good career, but my passion was still drawing.

RICHARD HAINES studied fine art and graphic arts at Virginia's Commonwealth University (VCU). Nowadays, you'll find Richard Haines seated front row at Fashion Week’s most desirable shows busily sketching. He often refers to New York City "as an endless runway"; befitting of a man who moved to the big city to pursue illustration, became a successful fashion designer, and who has come full circle as one of today’s most sought after fashion illustrators.

Haines work is regularly seen in the pages of InStyle Magazine and his popular must-see blog, What I Saw Today, which features his personal and professional work, has received accolades from respected critics at Paper Magazine, New York Magazine, men.style.com, refinery29.com and getkempt.com, to name just a few. "I thought if I started a blog of what I saw around me, it would be a good way of showing what was going on...the rest is, as they say, history. The response to my illustration has been beyond my wildest dreams." In July 2009, Haines had his first solo exhibition in New York City.

February 4th-18th, artist Richard Haines 'Behind The Scenes' illustrations and unpublished sketches will be exhibited at PENNYBLACK c. so Vittorio Emanuele ang. Piazza Libety, 2 in Milano, Italy. PENNYBLACK MAGALOG
