In the spirit of Charles and Ray Eames, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Bogart and Bacall, twenty-two virtuoso couples have come up with creative collaborations to be auctioned off at this year’s holiday soiré. We provided each couple with a pair of seasonally inspired, black rubber boots to cut, puncture, glue, stitch, photograph, paint, draw, embellish, interpret, or transform. The final creations will be on display at the event, where we will hold a silent auction. If you're outbid, don't dismay: an elegantly designed catalog of the final boot creations will be distributed to all that attend.
