Vladi and Andy Valmorbida collaborated to curate another show for street artist Richard Hambleton, exhibiting this time in Moscow at the State Museum of Modern Art. The exhibit of new pop expressionist work by Hambleton runs through September 29; the art travels next to a show in London in November.

I love these images, the one of his mother, Carine Roitfeld and his girlfriend, Giovanna Battaglia is especially adorable. I wonder if it is tough for a man to be under the constant scrutiny of two of the world's most talented stylists....

Restoin-Roitfeld Opens Hambleton In Moscow

Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld has partnered with Andy Valmorbida again to bring the pop expressionist work of street artist Richard Hambleton to Moscow. The exhibit of new work by Hambleton opens today at the State Museum of Modern Art and will be on display through September 29; others cooperating in the event include Moscow City Government, Moscow City Department of Culture, Russian Academy of Arts, and the Moscow Museum of Modern Art. The opening party is slated for September 8, I am sure it will be a chic affair. However, since Fashion Celebration Night takes place the previous evening in Paris, mama is going to have to hustle if she plans to be there. The Hambleton exhibit will be shown next in London in November.
