A collaboration with @fight_aids_monaco, this exhibition brings together creativity and compassion, proving once again that art has the power to heal, inspire, and unite.

The exhibition is anchored by the evocative works of renowned artist @jordanesaget, whose iconic linear style brings an unparalleled depth to the theme of hope. Known for transforming urban spaces with his mesmerizing chalk lines, Saget’s work transcends mere aesthetics, evoking a sense of connection and renewal.

At @colgateuniversity Picker Art Gallery @pagcolgate, the transformative power of textiles takes center stage. Among the standout pieces on view at A Thought Is A Thread: Contemporary Artists Reworking Textile Traditions are two remarkable works by @faigahmedstudio: Kutab (2014) and Catalysis (2021). Known for his boundary-defying reinterpretations of traditional carpets, Ahmed’s art deconstructs the familiar and reassembles it into something profoundly modern, blending the tangible threads of heritage with the intangible currents of innovation.
This group exhibition dives deep into the ways textile art speaks to identity, language, and landscape while envisioning new possibilities for the medium. Ahmed’s contributions invite viewers to unravel the connections between the past and the future, where every thread tells a story that’s still unfolding.
The exhibition runs until May 18, so weave it into your plans and experience this extraordinary dialogue between tradition and contemporary art.

In the orbit of today’s most compelling creatives, @at.one.ment__official Wanbing Huang is a name that commands intrigue. A graduate of Central Saint Martins and a 2023 @loewe Craft Prize finalist, the Chinese artist has become a virtuoso of weaving tradition with futurism. Her work doesn’t merely exist—it breathes, pulses, and speaks to the essence of humanity’s connection with nature.
Her Paris exhibition, Shēng Dòng (meaning “Alive and Dynamic”), is a poetic testament to Taoist philosophy, where human and natural worlds coexist in fluid harmony. At the heart of this show is The Entropy Reduction of Hundun, a spellbinding sculpture that reimagines the mythic chaos of Hundun as a suspended cosmos of bamboo and ramie fibers. It’s equal parts ancient myth and avant-garde dream, a dialogue between ancestral wisdom and contemporary aesthetics.
But Huang’s vision extends beyond the gallery. Her collaboration with de Gournay, titled Yan Yan, translates ancient Chinese star maps into immersive hand-painted wallpaper. A celestial sanctuary where the constellations whisper forgotten stories to modern spaces.

In the captivating spaces of @artsciencemuseumsg, @irisvanherpen exhibition Sculpting the Senses immerses visitors in an aquatic reverie. Opening rooms resonate with the themes of Water, Dreams, and Sensory Seas, showcasing Van Herpen’s lifelong dialogue with the fluidity and fragility of water.
From ethereal bubbles frozen in time to crystalline liquid forms, her couture pieces blur the line between art and science. This symbiosis reaches a transcendent peak in a film starring mesmeric free-diver Julie Gautier. Clad in Van Herpen’s designs, Gautier dances beneath the surface, her movements unraveling into the silence of the deep. Her choreography speaks of courage and surrender, using water as both stage and metaphor to explore feminine strength and vulnerability.
Running until August 10, this exhibition transforms every ripple, every weightless motion, into an unforgettable sensory experience—inviting you to drift beyond the edges of control.

On April 14, 2025, six extraordinary women embarked on a historic moment of cosmic significance that fused intellect, ambition, and grace. It was more than a journey to space; it was a bold redefinition of man and space or should we say women and space.
The flight was made possible by @blueorigin New Shepard rocket, with a crew nothing short of stellar: @gayleking, the award-winning journalist and cultural icon; @amandangonguyen, a Nobel Peace Prize-nominated research scientist and civil rights visionary; @katyperry, the chart-topping pop star and philanthropist who carried a daisy to honor Earth’s fragility and her daughter with @orlandobloom Daisy Dove Bloom; @aishabowe, the groundbreaking former NASA rocket scientist; @spacekerianne, a filmmaker and advocate for impactful storytelling; and laurenwsanchez, the journalist, author, and beloved fiancé of Jeff Bezos. Together, they symbolized a future shaped by courage, diversity, and excellence.
Their @monsemaison designed spacesuits were as striking as their mission—an elegant balance of practicality and high fashion, reflecting the sophistication of the team itself. In those fleeting minutes of weightlessness, they carried more than their personal dreams; they carried the aspirations of generations of women who dared to envision a boundless future.
None of this would have been possible without @jeffbezos, whose vision and commitment to expanding humanity’s reach into space have created platforms for history-making moments like this. His belief in inclusivity and exploration set the stage for a mission that wasn’t just about space—it was about rewriting what’s possible.

Before her name became synonymous with timeless elegance, Carolina Herrera was a style icon in the making—navigating the glamorous social circuits of Caracas and New York with her husband Reinaldo. It was the late 1970s, Studio 54 was pulsing, and Andy Warhol was at the center of it all.
At a dinner party in 1979, Warhol became enamored with Herrera’s gold Van Cleef & Arpels minaudière, playfully trading her the accessory for a portrait. “Take it, it’s yours,” she said. And just like that, a Warhol original was born.
From sixty Polaroids, Warhol selected a single, striking image. A series of four portraits capturing Herrera’s signature Gibson roll, emerald earrings, and poised allure—cementing her place not just in fashion, but in art history.
The portraits remain emblematic of Warhol’s hard-edged aesthetic of the late ‘70s, a style that immortalized the icons of that era.
