Dolita worked in the couture studio of Jacques Esterel before when she was 16, and now she produces her own collections. Last season her runway looks were a huge success and garnered a lot of attention, including that of megastar Beyonce. Her designs are sensual and seductive. She uses sexy fabrics like Silk jersey, Lace (from France), Lycra, and Velvet; her clothes feel like a second skin.

Like the Spice and the Roger Smith Hotel are pleased to announce that they have joined creative forces to present a group show featuring Like the Spice artists Jason Bryant, Allison Edge, and Ross Racine. The Roger Smith Hotel, a positive, open and friendly spot in Midtown Manhattan, nestled amongst the skyscrapers, is not just a hotel, but also a location for guests and visitors to get a taste of the up and coming New York arts scene. Located at 501 Lexington Avenue with its Solarium Gallery on the 16^th floor, has had a long history of hosting creative and entertaining exhibitions that stimulate thought and conversation. Like the Spice is extremely excited to be invited and why we think our artists will fit their style perfectly.

In the lobby of the hotel you will find the shapes of spirals, explosions and clouds that mirror the strange psychology of Quebec-born artist Ross Racine’s fictional suburban developments. Ross has shown extensively across the United States and Canada. His “digital drawings” are hand-drawn directly by computer, creating communities that could be taken from some otherworldly Mapquest. They are in no way photographs, yet still carry a convincing feel, leaving you with the assumption that someone, somewhere, has been to see these communities in person.

Come join us on opening night, March 19th, as we begin our very exciting month-long stay at the Roger Smith Hotel! And please come to view more of these artists’ works and more at Like the Spice as we will remain open and will be hosting our own exhibition on site!

Shira Entis, a fashion designer and lover of all things tiny and over-sized, and Alex Bell, a lawyer and seeker of adventures, have been fleamarket addicts since they met ten years ago at Brown University. Frustrated by the inconvenience and environmental hazard of accumulating several plastic bags while marketing, they craved a convenient and fashion-hot tote that could fit all of their wares. Fleabags are designed as their ideal solution – dapper, large, lightweight and sturdy carry-alls – that are also eco-minded. Thus the brand Fleabags began in 2009 while both still worked their day jobs in New York City.

THEY ARE ECO FRIENDLY

An important part of the Fleabags venture was to create a bag that was as Green as possible while maintaining high quality and covetable design. Thus much research was put into the types of canvas, leather and parts available in the United States that would fit their eco-friendly standards. Fleabags are wholly sourced in the US and made in New York of certified organic cotton / hemp canvas, vegetable-tanned leather and water-based silkscreen ink. Fleabags use no glues or toxic paints, just good old fashion sewing.

LTD ED.
The Original Flea bags are made in Limited Edition by hand and with the Edition Number written on each bag. Four colorways are offered- White, Saddle, Coffee Bean and Pebble. Please inquire at sales@fleabg.com for information about our next set of production.

Transforming and Modifying objects into new aesthetic purposes. 3 Main Collection Concepts: T-Shirts, Versatile Dresses and the Safety Pinned Line T-Shirt collection is based on vintage objects, the designs and placements are strategized to compliment and accentuate the body.

The Versatile dress collection gives the little black dress concept a new name, and let’s women re-invent themselves and is their chameleon staple. Safety Pin collection changes the purpose of “an object”- they choose ubiquitous pins and utilitize it as an ornamental graphic statement, not just a functional piece.

Homemade BFF Fashion Friday tip of the week.

You can see Nicole and purchase their transformational pieces at the RS POP UP shop at the Roger Smith Hotel Nov. 13-20th.
