A blossoming collaboration

Probably it
comes as no surprise that art and fashion have always had a strong, passionate
relationship. Many fashion designers found inspiration in great art pieces, and
vice versa. To go along with this idea and to further strengthen the special
bond, we created a collaborative boutique, where art and fashion are equally
celebrated.
N’Taaya Dream
fashion brand and Ealy Mays Atelierare happy to announce their creative partnership,
where modern fashion designs meet contemporary paintings. This powerful duo not
only wants to advocate the importance of art and fashion in our everyday life,
but also draws attention to the rich diversity of society and culture. Both
artists take personal approaches to incorporate their fantasies into real life,
while presenting them either on canvas or with a piece of fabric.
The creativity
doesn’t stop here, Presagio, a writer, a singer, and partner in the N’Taaya
Dream project, brings the boutique alive with his groovy tunes every Friday and
Saturday.

The boutique
is also a great destination for those contemporary art lovers who are ready to
discover some of the precious paintings of Ealy Mays. The American-born, but
Paris-based artist is well-known for his expressive and controversial style,
carefully infusing ethnic, political, historical, religious, and satirical
factors into his work. This man of many talents, a true globetrotter has been
living in Paris for the past 18 years and has shown his works at such
prestigious museums as the Louvre, Mexico’s Galeria Clave, or New York’s
Guggenheim. At the Châtelet boutique, one can get a glimpse of the famous
Watermelon-series inspired by his Mexico stay, some of his Dashiki images, and
his iconic Mammy series to which he has a strong personal bond.
The boutique is open every
day from 11am until 7pm and holds special music events every Friday and
Saturday between 6 - 9pm until May 21, 2016.
