| How much would you pay for a platinum human skull studded with 8,601 diamonds? How's a cool $100 million sound? That's what an investment group just spent on Damien Hirst's For the Love of God, his ultra-luxe skull, which appears on the cover of special editions of CITY's new fall fashion issue. Inside a special "Art Meets Fashion" section in the issue, famed photographer Sante D'Orazio pays Hirst a visit and ruminates on the artist's most recent jaw-dropping work. Elsewhere, Zac Posen talks with former Interview editor Bob Colacello about his new book, Bob Colacello: Out; Andy Spade visits artist Jules de Balincourt in his Brooklyn studio; Cynthia Rowley chats with artist Delia Brown over drinks at the Soho House; Kara Walker prepares for her big show at the Whitney; and Terry Richardson remembers sharing a tiny East Village with his late father and fellow photographer Bob Richardson. CITY's 50th issue is also jam-packed with the hottest fall fashion, a look at the "Happy Mealing" of 7th Avenue by GQ Style Guy Glenn O'Brien, and a photo portfolio of the "unsung heroes" of the New York fashion industry. |
