Ralph Pucci International will present Bubblegum, Lipstick, and Hope. This Art Basel must-see makes its debut on Thursday, December 2nd. Ralph Pucci International will present Bubblegum, Lipstick, and Hope, an exhibit of 200 pieces of female portraits by fashion and art icon, Rebecca Moses, reflecting hope, passion, determination, and the desire to stay true to one’s own voice, even in the most challenging of times.
The body of work expands Moses’ signature style: connecting art and fashion. The exhibit is a tribute to women- their strength, and uniqueness of being. The exhibit captures the yearning for celebration and renewal of one’s self. Listen to what inspired the mural and paintings from Rebecca Moses herself here. Take a sneak peek at the stunning art and murals that will be featured in this exhibition here with assets.
The inspiration for the exhibit was created in March of 2020, when New York City went into lockdown and all of Ms. Moses’s projects, including a campaign for the Fragrance Foundation that had been a year in the works, ground to a halt. Ms. Moses is a fashion industry veteran with a historical career, including succeeding Gianni Versace at the Italian label, Genny, in Milan in the 1990s. She’s mostly known for her impressionistic portraits of women rendered in vivid colors and highly stylized, akin to a fashion sketch.
Bubblegum, Lipstick, and Hope is a world of fashionable delights, colorful dreams, bold patterns, and stylish environments. Women holding their heads up high, putting on their best to champion themselves and holding their heads up high with dignity. There is no standard of beauty. Each remarkable woman is her own champion.
The exhibit, along with 17 larger-than-life murals, will cover the facade of Pucci’s Wynwood free-standing gallery, celebrating the female essence of childish charms, cherished comforts, and creative dreams but most importantly, hope.
