Louis Vuitton's Tribute to Stephen Sprouse

At the 2009 launch for Louis Vuitton's collaboration with Stephen Sprouse, Brooklyn Guild designed a hallway that led to the main room. Created as a second area for photographers to snap pictures of guests, the tunnel was marked with Stephen Sprouse-Louis Vuitton graffiti and covered with a color-changing ceiling.

Developed by Chicago event designer Tom Kehoe, event venue the Geraghty debuted with a splash on August 6, attracting nearly 1,000 local business influencers, socialites, and event industry professionals to a grand opening party. Perhaps the biggest moment of the evening was when four stuntmen and Kehoe himself repelled down from a 22-foot-high skylight.

The New York Public Library's "Library Lions" Event

Thom Browne Spring 2016

The September 14 spectacle at Skylight Modern was only something Thom Browne could bring about: a gallery space featuring a one-room schoolhouse in which the designer showed his interpretation of a Japanese schoolgirl's uniform. There were rows of chairs, a black notebook placed at each one, and a "teacher" dressed as a fully veiled Kabuki bride. On the side of the schoolhouse were a pair of men's feet, a la The Wizard of Oz.
