Aside from the great art this city offers, I find unexpected inspiration while strolling through the Garment District, which is only a block east from my studio. I like the very naive, almost slapdash compositions of the fabric shop window displays. They are far removed from commercially savvy manipulations, yet they retain a manic kind of beauty. The ones that do seem composed with care seem based on an endearingly homespun idea of what's elegant. It's refreshing in this age of hyper-aggressive marketing tactics that these old-school displays exist. I want to share some with you before they disappear for good!
