Susanne Bartsch and Joey Arias’s friendship spans more than 30 years. Moving from Switzerland to London when she was just 17, and then to New York in 1981, Susanne has had an incalculable influence on design and fashion worldwide, first as an early introducer of British designers to New York, including John Galliano, Vivienne Westwood, and Stephen Jones, via her store on Thompson Street, and then with her founding of the Love Ball (which became the inspiration for the Life Ball, held each year in Vienna supporting HIV/AIDS).

The nightlife comes to New York Fashion Week
New York City Midtown passersby were in for a few unexpected sightings as they came across the glass atrium of a commercial building during this season's New York Fashion Week (NYFW). The location was converted into an "Urban Garden Room" by arts organization, chashama and nightlife legend, Susanne Bartsch. It was all part of Art-a-Porter, a takeover of NYFW with a cornucopia of multimedia that fused fashion, theater, performance and visual art by over 50 artists.

In the Urban Garden Room several of New York City's underground culture mainstays including Amanda Lepore created a "surrealist" dinner party with extravagant costumes, art, music and of course, sandwiches. The dinner guests were on display as onlookers took photos and reveled in watching the elaborate tableau. For Bartsch the installation was an attempt to display what she considers the often overlooked and underappreciated art of underground club culture ...

Nightlife icon Susanne Bartsch is known throughout New York—and beyond—for her avant-garde parties where art, fashion, and excess come together in a glamorous explosion. Earlier this summer, she corralled all of the incredible artists who inspire her and set them up at the Hotel Chelsea Storefront Gallery for the first Bartsch Inspiration show. 

Now, she’s doing it again with Art-a-Porter, albeit a little differently. “This time it’s more visuals than buying and selling art on the wall,” says Bartsch. “The art is off the wall. The last [Bartsch Inspiration] had as much art on the wall as there were live performances and art installations. This doesn’t. Everybody that’s participating is the art.”  ...
