Gallery
Adam Kimmel’s A/W 2010 ‘Casino’ collection was inspired by the work of American artist and gambling man, George Condo. Taking characters from Condo’s paintings as the template for his models – with masks from Hollywood prosthetics whiz, Gabe Bartalos – the velvet suit and blazer-clad figures surrounded a craps table to create a casino-inspired scene, within a blacked-out room in Paris’ Yvon Lambert Gallery.
Guests were led into the final show via the gallery entrance hall, where live security camera films of the 'Casino' were projected; followed by a white-cube room - sparsely displaying a series of Kimmel's trademark lookbook images - before ending up in the velvet roped-off main event, at the heart of the gallery.
