A Moment in The Limelight

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Those who now attend the gothic church on the corner of 6th Avenue and 20th Street probably pray to the gods of fashion. For the past year it has been the home of The Limelight Marketplace, a maze of over 60 local shops selling everything from artisan crafted jewelry to artisan craft cheese. And jeans, flip flops and fast trends as well. And art. And haircuts. And various tchotchkes. Perhaps they were praying for something a little less scatterbrained. To that end, Limelight owner Jack Manashe has terminated most of his selling tenants as he redefines the place as a department store.

This washed out beach-y shoot makes me nostalgic for the summer days that the constant rain has made vanish. Check the gallery to see the models relaxing in the white sand wearing minimal clothing, a voyeuristic way to enjoy the sun despite all this rain.
