Art Meso is known for events that present culture, showcase talent, and cultivate music, art, and fashion. The Holiday Meso Marketplace and Art Reception brought the same feel to the public with a flair of holiday spirit. The event showcased handmade jewelry, artisan candles, and elegant fashions, while providing a fun atmosphere with food, drinks, music, and holiday cheer. Jennifer Sutton, founder of Art Meso, told Visionary Artistry Magazine, “It's just a really great time to get ready for the holidays, picking up some unique pieces, and mixing and mingling.”

Entertainers and their clothes have always been a hot topic, particularly musicians. I think back to Prince being one of the greatest musicians of all time and his knack for wearing purple and shoes with a heel. Growing up as a Dipset fanatic, one of my favorite pictures is of the Rapper Cam’ron when he rocked the pink fur coat and pink fur hat  with his pink cell phone to his ear, a diamond chain on his neck and on his rings sending viewers into a trance. Sometimes the fashion choices are coincidental, but in their cases it was always intentional.

Monica Botkier asked herself these questions when designing the Trigger Bag, a cult classic handbag that was the first piece in her fashion line as well as the item that put her on the industry map.
