Here are my picks for those special one-of-a-kind items that are so unique and beautiful, they may just change your life.
LESNY JN FELIX
Lesny, a Haitian artist residing in Manhattan's Lower East Side, has taken New York City by storm. His talent is endless, and speaks to both our aesthetic sensibilities and our intellect. His concepts are rooted in politics, economics and satire, and he uses his art as a narrative device. Who doesn't love a smart, stylish and charming bad boy with a good conscience?
In addition to paintings, photography and A Heart For Valentine's Greeting Cards (purchase through Etsy.com and a portion of the cost goes to Hope For Haiti Now foundation), Lesny brings his artistry to articles of clothing that become wearable works of art.
This loose fitting TANK is one of my favorite pieces. The colors are stunning on black. Wear it under a tuxedo jacket with rolled jeans, or with a cardigan and sequence leggings. Note the heart in the left corner. LOVE IT!Looking for that
perfect gift for your guy? Lesny has a line of ties that are over the top hip. A one-of-a-kind Lesny Money Tie is the perfect twist to any guy's wardrobe. How Lesny works: You provide the article of clothing, and Lesny paints it.
Pricing (depends on the intricacy of the painting and can be worked out in advance):
- Jeans and Dresses range from $100 - $150
- Tanks or T-Shirts range from $80 - $100
- Money Ties contact for pricing

Great story from artist Lesny JN Felix - While at Southeby's benefit auction "Tools for Thought - Rebuild Haiti" where a multiple piece installation of Lesny's was up for auction, some stylish bloke bought the hand painted "money tie" Lesny wore to the event right off his neck. That's how HOT these ties are!!!
