What’s Happening this Week…

By Eva Medoff, May 24th, 2010

Have You Heard? is our weekly roundup of items we may have previously missed (or would like to remind you of again). So as you plan the week ahead, take a look at our cherry-picked selections of what’s hot in art, music, film and fashion right now—except for Monday, which is proving to be quite boring.

Tuesday

Off the heels of her haunting single “The Ghost Who Walks,” model-turned-singer Karen Elson (and wife to Jack White) releases her first-full length album of the same name. Speaking of model singers, we break down the trend for you here.

Wednesday

Miuccia Prada is honored for her exceptional achievements in fashion and the visual arts with a McKim Medal from the American Academy in Rome. We think these shoes alone deserve a medal.

Thursday

Our friends in Hong Kong should go enjoy the Hong Kong International Art Fair and stop by the Paul Kasmin Gallery booth. Our friends in New York should go check out the Paul Kasmin Gallery in person, which has shown such great exhibits as this abstract one by Susan Hefuna.

Friday

Get your summer glow on with MAC to the Beach, a line of sun-kissed neutrals and bronzers in stores starting today. Hurry: the line is only available through July.
