About Selma Starfinger:
Selma Starfinger, who began her career as a fashion model, has taken the fashion world by storm. She has earned top prizes for her work in China Fashion Week and The Fashion Academy Award in Berlin, Germany. Her pieces have been seen on the backs of celebrities such as Rihanna, Omahyra Mota, and Coco Rocha. Her work is also coming out in a new book entitled Shapeshifters, which showcases designers that break the boundaries in fashion, art, sculpture and architecture. For more information about Selma Starfinger, please visit: www.selmastarfinger.com.

About Rajiv Jain:
Born in France, Rajiv Jain grew up mainly in the U.S. He studied Art and Theater at the Maryland Art Institute. His greatest art influences were the masters (Van Gogh, Michelangelo) and the comic book artists Moebius and Bilal. After travelling around the world for a few years, he came to Los Angeles, where he currently divides his time between performing arts and painting. Whereas his work with Lucent Dossier allows him to interact with people and create 3-dimensionally, he uses the 2-d language of painting for personal exploration and capturing of specific moments, in charcoal or oil paints. Eyes are a recurring motif in his drawings because of the energy that they can project and receive. Rajiv Jain's works have been featured in past shows at the Glass Garage Gallery on Robertson.

October 27: Art Closing Reception - 'TOKYO TATEMONO: Photographs by Drury Brennan'

TOKYO TATEMONO
Photographs by Drury Brennan
September 23 - October 27, 2010

Closing Reception: Wednesday, October 27, 7-10 pm

The 'Tokyo Tatemono' show is in its final week. Please join us this Wednesday night for a show closing party. The entire 13,400-photo archive from Japan will be available for viewing.

Attendees are encouraged to wear their favorite Japanese-inspired Halloween costume.

EM & Co, 7940 W. 3rd St., L.A., CA 90048

About "Tokyo Tatemono" Series / Drury Brennan:
Tokyo Tatemono explores the facades of post-WWII, multi-story commercial and residential architecture in Japan, and the inherent contrasts and conflicts between surface and core, ornate exterior and cramped interior that underlie much of Japanese visual culture. Drury first visited the country in 2001 and was fascinated by the bleak futurism and quiet power of these structures. Upon winning the School of The Art Institute of Chicago's coveted "Odyssey Travel Grant," Drury spent the summer of 2005 riding his bicycle around the country and amassing a massive visual archive of Japanese culture. Resulting in over 13,000 photographs, the work is an informative yet uninformed examination of Japanese visual culture as a whole. Future plans include a book release for the work, slated for 2011.

Drury has worked as a professional photographer for several years with all types of commercial and independent clients. While still in school, he landed a job for Critical Mass advertising agency in Chicago, and clients there included McDonald's, Mercedes-Benz and Hyatt Resorts. After school, Drury relocated to Los Angeles, where he worked as Associate Editor of Flaunt Magazine for almost two years. His work has been published in GQ, Flaunt and Stop Smiling Magazine, amongst others. Drury currently lives in South Pasadena and is cultivating a serious interest in bespoke functional ceramics.

About Jordan Klein:
Jordan Klein, former Vogue model and graphic designer, quit school to start his line, RockIcon. Currently, part owner of a graphic T-shirt line, "Casual-Ts", he is launching his own eponymous line of men's clothing, where each collection's underlying 'story' inspires the wearer to become a hero. His first fall 2010 collection inspired by the last part of the action movie "Hero", features fashion-forward, dramatic, edgy pieces with familiar silhouettes that make 'Everyman' feel like a 'Hero'.

About Mariska:
Mariska, (pronounced ma'rish'ka), was created by Maria Janossy, a Transylvanian transplant and lawyer-turned-fashion designer. The line features well-constructed dresses and separates that work day-into-night, a modern interpretation of Austro-Hungarian empire fashion, intertwining aristocratic elegance with peasant simplicity, merging seamlessly from day into evening. Created for the thinking, discerning, confident woman, the boutique line employs unique designs produced in small batches, with quality and value in mind.

About EM Reconstruct:
The EM Reconstruct label, available exclusively at EM & Co, represents the latest trend in eco-conscious fashion: Up-cycling of garments. Combining edgy trend-setting style with eco-friendly practices, existing garments are re-fashioned and modified, sometimes beyond recognition, into new creations. Each garment is individually created and unique; no two garments are ever identical. EM Reconstruct releases a number of mini-collections per year grouped around a theme, created by EM and in collaboration with other local designers. The fall 2010 collection, themed around knits and leather, includes designs by Krys-n-Jack, Queenie4ever, and EM.

EM & Co, 7940 W. 3rd St., L.A., CA 90048

About Krista Jiannacopoulos:
Krista's most recent works, showcased in this exhibit, are primarily focused on color. Since moving from Chicago to Los Angeles in 2008, Krista finds herself once again gravitating toward bright colors - brilliant yellow, green, rose fluorescent.

Some of Krista's best memories are from living in Chicago, and the city continues to inspire her work in many ways. Chicago can, however, be a heavy and often grave place, with its narrow streets, intense traffic, and gloomy weather. For Krista, Los Angeles has become a walk with the sun again.

Krista's current paintings are a proposition of color. With bold lines informed by Chicago's distinctive architecture, mixed with the radiant colors of Southern California, she seeks to explore the visual and emotional impact of line and color.

EM & Co, 7940 W. 3rd St., L.A., CA 90048

About Rabbit Strawfedora and Pingping:
As a Los Angeles native, Rabbit Strawfedora is a product of the aristocratic and less diplomatic demographic of the culture, where diversity induces inspiration. Having been influenced by both hypocrisy and honesty, Rabbit has channeled a unique method-procedure pertaining to an array of people. He has created works of art ranging from paintings to reliefs, plaster castings to off-the-wall sculptures. Keeping emotion and motives in mind, he exercises our opinions about the way we look at ourselves and others, ultimately attempting to widen our views of progressiveness.

Pingping was born and raised in Beijing. Fascinated by the dramatic styling in manga and comic book illustrations of her childhood, she started drawing as soon as she could hold a pencil. When she moved to Los Angeles at age 16, and as her art progressed, she was moved by the realism and emotional depth of American pin-up stylings. Her paintings capture the female beauty and its soulful, playful essence.

As a couple, Pingping and Rabbit inspire each other not only a creative level, but also in every aspect of their lives. The show, "Quintessence", embodies the pure and concentrated essence of their love for art and the beauty of the human form.

About Vanessa Prager:
Vanessa Prager was born and raised in the artists' enclave of Los Feliz, a small bohemian suburb of Los Angeles. Vanessa's first inclination towards drawing came in her high school years, when she was assigned work from a perspective book. Her imagination was immediately piqued, and an artist was born.

Vanessa has become widely exhibited for her atmospheric, figurative oil paintings, as well as her ballpoint pen drawings. Slightly realistic yet bizarre, her subjects take center stage in isolated performances where vegetation, candy and toys reoccur, and lurid backgrounds fade into harsh shadows or a disconnected blur.

To date, Vanessa has collaborated with multiple magazines, she has been included in a myriad of group shows across the country, and her work has found a home with many of the art and entertainment elite. Vanessa continues to work and live in Los Feliz. She is a young woman with the eye of someone much older and wiser; one who captures moments that the viewer can hold forever. For more information about Vanessa Prager, please visit: www.vprager.com.

About Ali Helnwein/The LA Contemporary Ensemble:
Composer/Conductor Ali Helnwein formed the Traction Avenue Chamber Orchestra, a Downtown Los Angeles chamber orchestra, in 2006. Over the past few years he has also created other outlets for his music, The LA Contemporary Ensemble being one, all to be able to present classical music to a modern audience. It is Ali's mission to keep alive the art of classical music, and present chamber music in more intimate and unique settings. For more information, visit: www.alihelnwein.com.

About Palmela G:
Palmela G has been the well-kept secret of celebrities and fashionistas, for over eight years. Born in Germany and raised in Kansas, she moved to L.A. to act. After a stint as a licensed massage therapist, Palmela G started designing swimsuits. Fashion design has been part of Palmela G's life, since she was only 10 years old. She combined her love of water with fashion, as she started designing swimwear. Palmela G's first inspiration, her mom's black velvet bikini bottom, became her first pattern, which she designed from simply seeing a picture. Named after her mom, the 'Magdalena Bottom' is still her best-selling bikini bottom.

Palmela G's swimsuits are designed from the highest-quality fabrics and have the best construction, with an order turn-around of 1-5 days. Palmela G believes in making clothes that fit the body, and in making women feel confident and sexy when wearing a swimsuit, regardless of their size. Focused on providing a service, not just a quality product, Palmela G takes the pain and fear out of swimsuit shopping. Palmela G swimsuits have been created for many celebrity clients, whose names are maintained in strict confidentiality. Palmela G swimsuits have also been featured in Mercedes commercials and many shows, including the upcoming "Nikita" show, "Young and Restless", and "Celebrity Circus".

About Marta Bialy:
Marta Bialy, born in Gdansk, Poland, during the Communist regime, moved to the U.S. when she was nine years old. She studied art, painting, and drawing, since she was a child, and about two years ago, she fell in love with metal-smithing and the different processes involved, upon starting to teach a metal-smithing class at PCC. Marta has shown her works in numerous group shows since 2007, and the exhibit at EM & Co is her first solo show. Marta has always been a non-conformist, in life, as well as in her artwork. "Soul Escape" draws upon numerous sources of inspiration, including metaphors, infatuation, desires, architecture, and military influence, as well as the personal need to escape current reality into a different form. To Marta, art is a synthesis of her personal feelings. Marta is currently finishing a BFA at CSULB, and is an art assistant and laboratory technician at PCC.

About Justin John Greene:
Justin John Greene, a graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and recipient of numerous scholarships, has participated in various group shows and installations throughout Los Angeles, Chicago, and Florence, Italy. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Justin John Greene has been painting since he was in high school; he uses different mediums to express his often-humorous view of the world.

The drawings in "Avant-Odd", his first solo exhibit in Los Angeles, combine elements of couture fashion sketching with a sense of the grotesque, in order to create an uneasy balance or expectations; a more complex notion of beauty. The flamboyant and gestural line commonly associated with fashion illustration, is contrasted with a humorous and guttural doodle that aims to deface the elegant aura of fashion illustrations, adding commentary to style. More information about Justin John Greene can be found at: www.justinjohngreene.com.

About Cris Orfescu:
Cris Orfescu was born in Bucharest, Romania, and has lived and worked in Los Angeles since 1991. A scientist by day, he runs an analytical laboratory which uses nanotechnology to design improved lithium batteries. The molecular landscapes of various materials with which he works, measured in nanometers, are his inspiration and jumping-off point for his art. Using an electron microscope, he manipulates compounds and chemicals to create nano-sculptures, captures the images, which he then blows up into large artworks, digitizes, and applies color. A self-taught artist, he has been experimenting for over 40 years with different media and art forms, including digital art, murals, acrylic and oil painting, mixed media, and collage. 'NanoArt', a term he has coined, reflects the transition from Science to Art through Technology.

Orfescu has shown his works in numerous solo and group exhibitions in the US, Italy, France, Finland, Korea, UK, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Colombia, and Greece, and has won many awards in juried shows. For more information, please visit: www.crisorfescu.com.

About Joby Cummings:
Joby Cummings, born in Palm Springs and raised in rural Texas, discovered his mom's art supplies at the age of seven. He studied graphic design in college, but the allure of the tattoo industry attracted him, and he spent the 90s working in a fast-paced, high-volume tattoo shop, with a brief stint in corporate graphic design. His earliest influences were classic lowbrow art and cartoons like Wacky Packages, Ed Roth, and even early Disney animations. His upcoming exhibit at EM & Co, entitled "Spinobyte", expertly blends 'cute' and 'dark' elements, not normally found together, delivering illustrations and works containing a bit of humor and a dose of the bazaar.

Joby has won numerous awards in the tattoo industry and in graphic design. His art has been displayed in various art galleries and venues, most recently at Velvet Grip Family in Los Angeles, and Solsticycle in Echo Park. Many of his original paintings and prints are held in private collections throughout the U.S. and Canada. His art has been featured in many publications, including Tattoo:Savage, International Tattoo, Skin Art, Tattoo Flash, and Inked. His designs have also been featured in multiple clothing lines, such as Christian Audigier, Scanty Pajamas, Zissou & Spike, BCBG, Vertigo, Joie, ENK, West 49, and Shirt.Woot.

Joby's list of tattoo clients includes many NBA stars and well-known actors and actresses. Joby's illustration was also chosen as the logo image for one of the early Vans Warped Tours. For more information about Joby Cummings, please visit: www.jobycummings.com.

About Daniel Franzese:
Daniel Franzese is an actor known for his interesting choices in cult film and television, from his first film, Larry Clark's "BULLY", to the hit comedy "Mean Girls", to the upcoming, highly-anticipated remake of the infamous exploitation film, "I Spit on Your Grave". In the past five years, Daniel has become extremely involved in the Los Angeles art world, curating several art shows and art parties surrounding fun and unique themes, such as his smash-hit art show at Royal/T, "Crusaders & Haters: Superheroes and Villains in American Pop Culture". The show's opening drew a crowd of more than 1,000 guests, dressed in head-to-toe superhero garb. Daniel's newest acting roles, airing early this year, are on the TV shows "Party Down" and "Burn Notice". To learn more about his acting and art involvements, you can follow Daniel on Twitter at: Twitter.com/whatsupdanny.

About Krys-n-Jack:
Krys-n-Jack is a collaboration between Jacquetta O'Dell and Leslie Henry, who met in 2003 in their home State of Oklahoma, and have been inseparable since their first encounter. While in Oklahoma, Jacquetta and Leslie maintained an independent clothing line featured in several self-produced fashion shows and events. After a short study stint in London, the pair moved to Los Angeles, where they currently reside. Jacquetta graduated with a dual degree in Fashion Design and Business, and she is currently pursuing her Masters in Creative Writing.

Leslie, whose background is in interior design and upholstery, has always been focused on fabrication: She perfected her craft in not only fabric, but leather, wood, and metal. Jacquetta, who oversees EM & Co's online boutique and designs out of the upscale store on West 3rd Street, handles most of the business and design on the line, which she does out of EM & Co. Both women have an obsession with alternative textiles and strive to create pieces that will challenge them to continually create. The inspiration for their Spring 2010 line comes from this obsession. The 'Knockers' combines wood, leather, and metal: The wood and the leather are both raw materials that they have cut, dyed, stained, and cured. With this collection, they honor the craftsman, our modern day warrior.

About Scott Ward:
Scott Ward works in corporate America, in a typically drab cubicle, and stares
at spreadsheets, graphs, charts, and data all day long. When he gets bored
or distracted, he uses Microsoft Excel to unleash his creativity -- the shading
on the spreadsheet cells takes on a whole new meaning. The 'secret' files
are then emailed home, and the designs get recreated on canvas, in paint...

About It's a Lola!:
Nancy Mende, AKA Lola, helped form a high-end designer, hand-knit sweater line in the late '70s, called Les Deux Noisettes. Their stunning, one-of-a-kind creations were featured at Bloomingdales, Macy's, Barneys, Henri Bendel, among others. Within a year of the company's inception, it employed a staff of 75, including 25 meticulous knitters.

The Les Deux Noisettes line garnered incredible attention within the fashion world and beyond. Because of its unprecedented overnight success, the line was in jeopardy of becoming mass produced and copied. So Lola did the unthinkable. She went to Italy, got married, and moved on.

Kind of.

Since stepping away from 7th Avenue in the mid '80's, Lola has continued to enjoy an intimate, loyal fan base that commission her to design and create sweaters, throws and handbags.

Now, back by popular demand (pleading from her customers in New York, Boston and Miami) It's a Lola! returns with stunning handbags for day or evening.

Lola's silk, wool and chenille yarns are hand dyed in Italy, Chile, Peru and the U.S.; the straps are supple leather and suede; and the linings vintage or new silks, cottons or blends. Lola has also incorporated a "green" group with handles made from faux crock, natural woven materials and inlaid wooden handles.

Lola does not use patterns to design her bags. Her designs go directly from mind to skein, not from pen to paper. Lola will not duplicate her bags. Therefore, every bag is one of a kind. So when people ask you where you got your gorgeous hand-knit bag, you can say with confidence, "It's a Lola!"

She has designed clothing worn by world-famous celebrities such as Jessica Simpson, Hilary Duff, Ming Na (the voice of Disney’s ‘Princess Mulan’), Daveigh Chase (the voice of Disney’s ‘Lilo’), Beverly Mitchell (star of hit TV series ‘Seventh Heaven’), Sasha Cohen (Olympic Ice Skating Champion), current ‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestants Aaron Carter and Melissa Joan Hart, Tyler Connolly (lead singer of ‘Theory of A Deadman’), and many more. Tatiana’s childhood friend, 15-year old Frankie Clarke - the namesake for iconic label Frankie b. - is Tatiana’s model/muse.

Even at the young age of nine, Tatiana had a natural flair for color and style, helping her mom - music lawyer Venice Wong – style wardrobes for rock star clients. After meeting Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough at a charity event, Tatiana told him she was a fashion designer and that she could custom design anything he wanted. He took her up on her offer, and Tatiana flew out to Orlando, Florida to see a Backstreet Boy appear on stage wearing her designs. This amazing experience was enough to convince her mom to help Tatiana set up her own fashion company; thus, Queenie4ever was born. Created by Tatiana Mclane and her mom, Venice Wong, Queenie4ever is meant to be positive role model for young girls to follow their dream, just like Tatiana is following hers - to be a successful fashion designer.

Enter Tatiana’s Fashion Fairytale Kingdom, Queenie4ever, where you will find clothing created to make you feel like a Fairytale Princess.

About KM2 Shoes:
KM2 Shoes, founded by sisters Megan, Katelyn and Mattison Gelber, was born from a desire to be unique. The three sisters developed a collection of shoes whose distinctive, high-class style is rooted in nostalgia, yet has an edgy flair that is relaxed and comfortable. The style of the shoes is influenced by their mid-western roots and life experiences in New York and L.A.

The fashion background of each of the sisters, when combined with their unique outlook on life and design, created a line of shoes that are classy, artistic, and entirely customized for each customer. KM2 shoe and boot line has basic styles that clients will pick, which are then customized by adding vintage ornamentation, as per clients’ wishes. The vintage ornamentation can include chains, feathers, beading, studs, fabric roses, vintage earrings – practically anything…

All three sisters have spent many years in the fashion industry, each bringing a very different gift and skill to KM2. They received training from their father, an extremely successful women’s fashion designer, and direction from their mother, who taught them to keep things timeless and feminine. They have also gained support, knowledge and consultation from fourth generation shoe cobbler, Gregg Boyher, known for his expertise in shoe design and custom shoe applications.
