[January 22 2010]
I was always fascinated by George’s style and my intuitions about him being as multi-facetted as the intense figures who inhabit his paintings were all confirmed as our friendship and collaboration developed. I learned that he is an incredible gambler who summers in Monte Carlo to be close to the casino, hits the Ritz club when passing through London and even from time to time goes local at Empire Casino in Yonkers New York. My fall winter 2010 Casino collection draws inspiration less from the paintings than the character and style they suggest. The collection is about George and his world. It’s a world that the paintings do cross into but it’s really more about how I picture George dressing: velvet slipper shoes, cashmere v-neck sweaters, polo shirts, with velvet suits in light gray, burgundy, and classic smoking green. There are also plush moleskins, reversible blazers, three-in-one outerwear and blazer that snap in and out of overcoats. Text by Adam Kimmel and photos by Olivier Zahm
