Our KIN,
BJ Panda Bear, recently made it to a couple art openings out in L.A.;
Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin at the Gagosian, and Daido Moriyama at Prism Gallery. We were excited to hear all about the amazing art and even more excited to see all of the incredible local Los Angeles fashionistas that showed up to celebrate! Check it out...
His first stop was the
Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin exhibit at the Gagosian. Lamsweerde and Matadin are known for celebrity portraits that combine the beautiful with the bizarre, the elegant with the extreme, and the classical with camp... and the crowd that gathered to admire the art was just as eclectic...

BJ's second stop was the Daido Moriyama exhibit at Prism Gallery. The art featured high contrast
black and white photos that offered a look into the textural industrialism of
fishnet nudes and various dutch angled portraits of Japanese alleys and back
ways. Naturally, the crowd was just as interesting...

The outfit was so good that Yasmine Kittles from the band Tearist decided to give it a bow... we can't blame her!
