The Business

Moment of Silence: Jeremy Blake

Our deep deep respects and prayers for our friends at Rockstar Games who have lost a kind soul.

Jeremy Blake was more than an “Art Star”—he was a real artist—abstract painter, graphic designer, visual artist. On July 17th he walked into the ocean at Rockaway Beach and vanished. Yesterday, it was made official. His videos brought us lots of emotion. Here’s one to remember him by. Google him for more inspiration. He left a beautiful body of work behind.


REST IN PEACE BLAKE.

Introducing Twenty8Twelve

A few days ago, Starworks hosted a cool gathering up on the roof of the Gramercy hotel to launch “Twenty8Twelve by S. Miller”.

Im sure you all know who Sienna Miller is by now, but did you know she has a beautiful sister who designs clothes? We’re talking stints at Alexander McQueen and Matthew Williamson so Savannah is the real deal. Anyway, both girls got together, decided to create a clothing line called Twenty8Twelve (named from Sienna’s Birthdate, Dec 28), and well…. here we are today, toasting a glass to the new creation.Being that the sisters were raised in an artsy family (mommy Miller was a the party too!), each seasonal theme will see a collaboration with a guest artist (illustrator, poet, etc) to groove with the mood of the line. That means each item of clothing will have a poem or note hidden inside to take home and put up on your wall. The first season’s vibe is “An Anthology of Rebellion”. Its all about Dickensian London and eccentricity so artist David Cooper made some visual treats concealed in all the hangtags.

Other Starworks friends & family designers showed up such as Costello Tagliapietra, Sue Stemp, and the Gryson bags crew. Our very own Greg Krelenstein of the Misshapes DJ collective spun the party with co-hort Geordon Nicol. The 3rd Misshaper, Leigh Lezark had just jet-setted back from Florence Italy, and was rocking a Twenty8Twelve dress beautifully by the balcony all night.

The party went on and on with several cuties. The Gramercy literally had to kick us all out. Mission accomplished. Thanks to Sienna and Savannah for turning it out.

Greeting from NYC

Hello. Welcome to our baby blog.

Currently, we are knocking walls down in our Soho loft, and growing bigger and bigger. We’re opening new global offices in addition to London, LA, and Milan too. All good stuff. There’s lots of cool projects Starworks is involved with regarding designers, magazines, and fashion brands which we’ll be covering here.
