MAPPLETHORPE x HARING

During the early 1980s, Robert Mapplethorpe’s photographs began a shift toward a phase of refinement of subjects with an emphasis on classical formal beauty. He concentrated on orchids, tulips, lilies, statuesque nudes formal
portraits and his controversial self-portraits. All porcelain plates have Mapplethorpe's signature on the bottom.

Keith Haring was preeminent among the young artists whose work responded
to the New York street culture of the 1980’s. He set out to reach
the widest possible audience with his early drawings in the subways and
quickly gained recognition in the art world. His iconic illustrations have graced advertisements, clothing such as a collaboration with Adidas and now housewares and confectionery. Shrink Boutique will carry two signed Keith Haring perfumed candles designed by Ligne Blanche Paris with the approval of the Keith HARING Foundation.

Our Recession-Proof Gift Guide

We know some of you are this close to canceling Christmas what with all the bailouts going on but in case it's still on...
Here's a few affordable suggestions.


Triple Iris Earrings from Kris Nations. This is a deal for gold, especially this year and they look and feel more expensive then they are.




Cold Black Tie. Yep it's just a plain old black tie for when your guy has to keep it simple. Subtle details like the ribbing makes this a classic gift that keeps on giving.


Hallam Clutch by Bryna Nicole. I know I know it's over $100 bucks. Let me tell you why. It's leather, handmade in the U.S.A., and a wardrobe staple. You've got that humongous "it" bag that you carry til your shoulder goes out, then what? Now you have a party and you need a little bag but not too little so you can fit your makeup, iphone, and all things girl. It will transition into next season and it won't fall apart like a last-minute party bag would.


The newest additiong to the Shrink family. I can hear the "I can get it at Urban Outfitters" argument now. Only difference is we have an idea who made A Peace Treaty scarves, and the design and fabric is superior. APT creates employment for skilled artisans working in places of socio-political strife and also donates to Counterpart International, helping bring medical supplies to Darfur. Give back in style.


Ulterior Motive Blue Delight Cufflinks. Another accessory that looks more exclusive than the pricetag, a man is going to need these eventually whether he likes it or not. Make sure he's ready.


Wallet in black or white. Now this is not for those that like to carry a George Costanza wallet. This is officially a baller wallet meaning there's room for plenty of plastic but not receipts. It's low profile style will fit smoothly in your back pocket without all the bulge. Bulky wallets just attract pickpockets anyway.
