• Soul Loves: Savage Beauty

  “When I’m dead and gone, people will know that the twenty-first century was started by Alexander McQueen.” 

  - Alexander McQueen

   

  If this quote seems outrageous upon reading, it will seem less so after seeing "Savage Beauty," the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

   

  

   

  Tailor, designer, artist: McQueen's works were inspired by everything from Flemish masters, to gospel singing, to Surrealism, to Scottish history. In the exhibit you'll see dresses made of razor clams, jackets with antelope horns sprouting from the shoulders, epaulettes made of vulture skulls, and angel wings made out of balsa wood...to name a few. But what's most striking is how McQueen is able to make his fashion feel personal. Each dress and every headpiece was a mode of self-expression and self-discovery, so that you leave the show not only feeling that you've seen works of art, but also the artist. 

   

  If that didn't convinced you, maybe these pictures will...

   

  

   

  “I’m not big on women looking naïve. There is a hidden agenda in the fragility of romance.”

   

  

  

   

  “We’re not talking about models’ feelings here. We’re talking about mine.”

   

  

  

   

   "I oscillate between life and death, happiness and sadness, good and evil."

   

  

  

   

  Check out this video, shown in the exhibit, of a McQueen dress being created. 

   

  And if you can't see the exhibit (open through August 7th), check out this video tour!

• Inspiration & Collaboration.

  

   

  SoulCycle’s favorite art project of the moment comes from an unlikely source. On October 7th, LEVI'S (that's right, the jeans company) opened a ten-week photography workshop in Soho in the former Deitch Gallery. Coming off the heels of their print studio in San Francisco, the NY workshop is dedicated to “the democratic nature of photography and how it's interwoven into everything in the city.”

• Soul Loves: Cycling Fashionistas

  

  Roadways are the new runways for these style-obsessed cyclists, their bikes no mere conveyance but a racy adjunct to their look. More than a few are infusing what used to be an athletic, or purely practical, pursuit with eye-catching glamour and sex appeal. merchants.

  SoulCycle is all for the new trend of fashionable bike riders in NYC.  Cycling is the healthiest way to get from point A to point B and if you can look good while doing it, all the better!

  So for those of you who are looking for a set of wheels that's as fashionable as it is functional, we suggest taking a look at HUB (Hudson Urban Bicycle) in the west village and Adeline Adeline TriBeCa. The bikes are so pretty, you might be tempted to put them on your wall. And with the limited storage space in NY, you just might have to.

• Soul Loves: CyFi

  Our favorite bike accessory of the week! CyFi lets you make a playlist and hit the road, Soul-style. Just don't try to do push-ups on the handlebars. Some things are better left indoors.

   

  

   

  For the cyclist who has everything, here’s the CyFi ($100), a compact speaker that fastens to handlebars (or backpack strap, or stroller). Your phone or music player, nestled in your pocket, transmits music to the speaker wirelessly as you ride along. The company argues that listening this way is safer than wearing earbuds. Considering its tiny size — the sound is surprisingly full.

• Soul Loves: Fiberwig

  

  It’s happened to the best of us.  You emerge from your spin class, walk down the street, and ride the subway home only to find that you’ve been sporting raccoon eyes, courtesy of your mascara.  That’s why SoulCycle loves  Imju Fiberwig mascara. The Japanese brand (famous for its lash-lengthening abilities) is resistant to oil, sweat and tears.  A mascara that you can wear to work and a Laurie Cole class? 

  I think we're in love.
