They’re kinda like weeds. Yeah, they’re in the garden, but you sure as heck didn’t plant them

Meet Monsieur Plaqueminier (Persimmon).
Representing March in the Messieurs des Fruits 2017 Calendar, Monsieur Plaqueminier is the perfect man to have a spring fling with. One look at him and there’s no wonder he’s been paired with what the Greeks referred to as ‘the fruit of the gods’.
You can get a copy of Monsieur Plaqueminier and all the other messieurs by visiting our store (messieursdesfruits.bigcartel.com) and picking up a calendar.
Store closes October 14.

I don’t want to be with him anymore
The thousands of textiles currently housed at the Brooklyn Museum are prime examples of the vast global history of textile making and sewing traditions in New York City. In participation with New York Textile Month,we will be showcasing one textile per day for the month of September. While difficult to narrow it down to only thirty textiles, we think these works are best at weaving narratives about topics such as innovations in the textile industry, craft and the beauty of the handmade, textiles from legendary designers like Frank Lloyd Wright and Anni Albers, as well as textiles with a sense of humor. Did you know that PeeWee’s Playhouse had a line of textiles made?
Luke Haynes was trained as an architect, but was taught sewing as a child by his mother. His transition to quilt-making was inspired by his desire to have full control of his artistic impulses and see a project through to completion that he felt architecture did not always allow. The unusual perspective of this machine sewn portrait is “read” properly only when the quilt is horizontal on a bed. This play on perspective stems from sixteenth-century Mannerist art practices. The acquisition of this quilt was an intentional effort to bring the Museum’s historical quilt collection up to the present, and with a quilt made by a man to introduce the notion of gender-bending into a traditionally all-female genre.
