Free Arts NYC’s Teen Arts workshop with Marc Jacobs and Futura 

Free Arts NYC recently hosted a workshop with nine students, aged 13-21, from their Teen Arts and Alumni Program. The afternoon of fun, fashion, and culture was led by pioneering graffiti artist Futura (a peer of Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Kenny Scharf among others) and downtown’s favorite designer Marc Jacobs. The studio visit focused on the meaning and value of having a logo, signature, or motif that’s specific to you and your identity. Futura will be honored at Free Arts NYC’s 23rd annual gala, set to take place on June 8, while Jacobs will be the official presenter for the soirée.

Why have one party when you can have a two-day bash? Beloved boutique Hampden spread out its milestone anniversary celebrations over a weekend, with trailblazing owner and buyer Stacy Smallwood hosting Proenza Schouler’s founders and creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez for a visit to Charleston, South Carolina. Guests, including Mickey Boardman and Lynn Yaeger, enjoyed a country-inspired waterfront dinner at a private property on John’s Island to begin the festivities. The following day, Smallwood welcomed 150 top clients and editors to Hampden’s newly-refurbished distribution center, which had been transformed into a runway show space and experiential pop-up. A show featured 22 looks from Proenza Schouler’s Fall Winter ’22 Collection—with many models who walked in the label’s recent NYFW show flying in for the occasion. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to kick off our 15th anniversary with such an iconic American fashion brand.
