The Los Angeles-based designer Jasmin Shokrian makes quietly striking, sculptural clothes beloved by women in the art world. During last week's Dallas Art Fair, the owners of Tenoversix — the L.A. boutique that last year opened an outpost in (and served as a design consultancy for) Dallas's art-filled Joule Hotel — invited Shokrian to hold a trunk show in their space. The event offered an ideal excuse for Shokrian to explore the metropolis and its booming cultural scene over the weekend. "It felt like kind of a magical city," she says. Yes, she's talking about Dallas. Here, she shares some highlights, including a joint exhibition by Julian Schnabel and Richard Phillips at Dallas Contemporary and an accompanying dinner, a spin through the fair, a gallery opening co-hosted by the model and Dallas native Erin Wasson and a party called the Eye Ball.
DAY ONE
"I arrived at the wonderful Joule Hotel, where I was welcomed by Kristen Lee, owner of Tenoversix. The lobby was beautifully done and the artwork, from the collection of the Joule's owner Tim Headington, was really impressive. The first order of business was the trunk show for my collection at Tenoversix. The event included a visit from the New York nail artists Vanity Projects. I am not usually a fan of nail art, but they created some really amazing designs inspired by artists like Yayoi Kusama and John Baldessari, so I stepped out of my comfort zone and got half-moons inspired by my collection. My "Je Pars Habiter A Los Angeles" T-shirt continued to be popular. I think people respond to it because it's a comment about imagined utopias, this idea that you always want to live somewhere else. Maybe Dallas should be the next city …
As soon as it was over, we had to rush to change for a dinner at the hotel in celebration of Julian Schnabel and Richard Phillips's joint opening at Dallas Contemporary. Dinner was lovely, and we were in great company."
DAY TWO
"We toured the Dallas Art Fair. It was exciting. It feels like Dallas is culturally having a moment. The ceramic pieces by Nicole Cherubini were beautiful. I had never seen her work before. I also liked works by the Berlin-based artist James Krone and the L.A. artists Jen Guidi and Paul Cowan and an installation by Scott Reeder. After a stop at the Nasher Sculpture Center, we went to the opening of the Schnabel/Phillips show at Dallas Contemporary. The scale of the space and the paintings was very impressive. Richard Phillips's film made in conjunction with his Lindsay Lohan paintings gave the work a depth I hadn't experienced before."
DAY THREE
"I was in need of some R&R at this point, and I was lucky to arrange an amazing 80-minute deep tissue massage at the Espa spa at the Joule. Even the spa was filled with great art — there were sculptures and wall pieces by Anthony Pearson everywhere! Later, we went to the great Forty Five Ten for an event Erin Wasson — a Dallas native — hosted for Régime des Fleurs, a new fragrance company from my friends Alia Raza and Ezra Woods. Next there was the Eye Ball — a gala held in the sculpture garden across the street from the Joule that's co-hosted by the Nasher. The eyeball by Tony Tasset is 30 feet tall and made of glass, resin and steel. Then we went to a show at That That, a gallery, curated by David Quadrini and co-hosted again by Erin. A really amazing little installation that I loved was by John Riepenhoff, called the John Riepenhoff Experience. You climbed up a ladder to stick your head in a hole and view tiny paintings that Scott Reeder made — they're reproductions of his own large paintings. That photo is of a tiny little skylight in a tiny little gallery! It was very John Malkovich."
