KEITH HARING PROJECT
Deeply moved and inspired by the documentary Film “The Universe Of Keith Haring”. Members 16 had a vision to combine the worlds of Keith Haring and Patricia Field for a new generation of fans to celebrate the work and lifestyle of these two visionaries. David Stark of Artestar agreed and gave us permission to use the work of Keith Haring to Create the Patricia Field collection. In February of 2010, we released the collection with an Amazing Fashion and Laser light installation at The Hudson Hotel to rave reviews. “It feels like Keith is alive again,” said Julia Gruen the executive director of the foundation. The line was so successful that Patricia Field herself took over the project in 2013 after the departure of Members 16 from her company. We are please that the collection lives on.
