Victor Demarchelier and Alexandra Richards Art Opening

Last Thursday, I stopped by the opening-night party for a new art exhibit featuring the works of photographer Victor Demarchelier (son of international Vogue photographer Patrick Demarchelier) and model/painter Alexandra Richards (daughter of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards). The innovative collaborations of multimedia artist Matthew Rowean and photographer Alexander Noe are also featured in the show.

Lots of fashion world bold-face names came out for the party, sponsored by the high-end online clothing boutique 25 Park. Reality TV stars Constantine Maroulis (American Idol) and Jaslene Gonzalez (America's Next Top Model) also attended and worked their fiercest poses for the camera.

You can check out the work of these up-and-coming artists, including Demarchelier's photographs of model girlfriend Caroline Trentini and Richards' portraits of music icons Slash and Etta James, at Mina Gallery (32A Cooper Square) through March.
