The Frieze Art Fair kicked off in New York, drawing artists, curators, and fashion enthusiasts from around the globe. The event not only displayed iconic artworks but also acted as a fashion runway, with attendees showcasing their unique styles.

Jennifer Levitt's Chic Ensemble

Jennifer Levitt, a collector based in New York, opted for a chic look with a Bottega Veneta top, Khaite skirt, and Gabriela Hearst shoes. Levitt shared, "It’s spring, but it’s a bit on the cool side. I just always want to look as chic as possible—especially for the art crowd."

Julie Ragolia's Effortless Style

Stylist Julie Ragolia expressed her art enthusiasm, saying, "There are a few galleries that I have works from here, and I’m a huge art nerd." Her outfit featured Phoebe Philo pants and boots from The Row, complemented by a Comme des Garçons shirt and a Bottega bag. Ragolia mentioned, "I’m not a jewelry person. No jewelry ever. I’m so active and messy, everything always gets caught on something."

April Hughes' Comfort-Driven Look

April Hughes, a fashion consultant and owner of Oroboro in Nolita, wore a suit by Sono, a vintage Fendi bag, and Dries shoes. Hughes remarked, "I usually wear shades of green or terra-cotta, but I find that I’m always playing with my color palette."

Nate Freeman's Classic Attire

Art columnist Nate Freeman from Vanity Fair kept an open mind at the fair, enjoying works like Cindy Sherman’s pieces at Hauser & Wirth. He sported Belgians shoes, a J.Crew blazer, and a Brooks Brothers shirt, noting, "I think it’s nice to get dressed up in the morning."

Christel Michelle's Comfortable Elegance

Art advisor Christel Michelle chose comfort with a Sandro dress and Hermès bag. She shared, "I just wanted to change up my look a couple of years ago. I had, like, a mental breakdown. Just kidding."

As the Frieze Art Fair continues, the intersection of art and fashion remains a captivating spectacle for attendees and fashion enthusiasts alike.
