Calypso To Present Fashion Illustrator/Designer Audrey Schilt Calypso, 123 Main St, Westhampton Beach, NY
As part of their celebration, Calypso is showcasing the work of New York fashion illustrator/designer/artist Audrey Schilt. Schilt, whose work includes the Halston rendering of Jackie Kennedy Onassis' famous pillbox hat, served as Ralph Lauren's conceptual artist for twenty two year. Working side by side with Lauren as he built his fashion empire, Schilt helped him to interpret and illustrate his creative ideas and eventually became his Creative Director of Collection, VP. Highlights from her tenure with Lauren include collaboration on the now-famous pink silk gown Gwyneth Paltrow wore to the 1998 Academy Awards. She has sketched dresses for Princess Diana, Oprah, Julia Roberts and numerous other celebrities. This unique show will include a large number of framed working drawings that are one-of-a-kind collectibles enabling one to own a piece of Ralph Lauren's empire. To aid in understanding the process, a series of illustrative posters will give viewers a glimpse into her work. From conceptual-design meetings, to fabrics and fittings, the grit and glamour of the industry will be presented to the public through this remarkable exhibit and sale. All are welcome to attend a special reception on Saturday Aug 20th 2-5pm.

For over thirty years Audrey Schilt, an alumni of FIT's Illustration department, has sketched and designed for some of the most revered names in the
fashion industry. Schilt got her start working aside fashion icon Halston and sketched for him many of the stylish hats for which Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
became known—including the now-famous pillbox hat. After sketching Halston's first line, Schilt moved into freelance work and began creating fashion ads
for such marquis clients as The New York Times, Vanity Fair, and Bergdorf Goodman.
Schilt is perhaps best known for her work at Polo/Ralph Lauren New York. Audrey worked with Ralph Lauren side by side for twenty-two years as he built his
fashion empire. Schilt helped Lauren interpret and illustrate his creative ideas and eventually became his Creative Director of Collection, VP.
Highlights from her tenure at the label include collaborating with Lauren on the now-famous pink silk gown Gwyneth Paltrow wore to the 1998 Academy Awards and
designing the white silk and organza worn by Emmy Rossum to the 2005 Golden Globes
This exhibition is co-sponsored by the School of Art & Design, FIT's Gladys Marcus Library, and PrintFX.
