All Things Franch

Pictured at Storefront for Art & Architecture membership dinner.

[Note that only two other architects dare to sneak color into their sartorial suits-of-armor for the evening, both in Franch-approved blue.]

This photo: NEEDS MORE NEON. +10 for the United Shoes, though, worn by lady architects partout in New York. 

They know a (neon) golden photo op when they see one. L-R: Eva Franch, Peter Guggenheimer, Monty Freeman, Charles Renfro, and Sarah Herda.

For stripes in context, see here. Gràcies. 

Star of the show at this year's Festival of Ideas for the New City. It was a doozy from start to finish, from facade projections on the New Museum to a 50-foot-model of Manhattan to a Bucky Fuller-approved blow-up dome.

Surveying her domain, with top notes of garnet and top knot of glossy black.

Naturally, Storefront's director is looking so ill.

When the going gets fancy, the bun comes down.

Storefront for Art & Architecture 25th Anniversary Gala in 2008. Two years later, the board hires one Eva Franch Gilabert. Coincidence? Wethinks not.

Ms. Franch Gilabert killing it, per usual, at this year's New Museum Gala After Party. Please note the re-appearance of magenta (shoes, tights, lipstick) and this season's It Bag, the zippered pouch.

FYI if Claudia Kishi were born in Spain and grew up to be an architect... This would be her fierce competition. 

The one and only Eva Franch with Peter Guggenheimer at the pre-party for DIG by Daniel Arsham/Snarkitecture. Furry coat from ambiguous animal? Check. Aggressive topknot? Check. Killer manicure? You betcha.
