Pop Art’s Rebel Queen

Larger-than-life pop artist Ashley Longshore is known for her tongue-in-cheek commentary on modern fashion, pop culture, and society. She’s also a purveyor of all things beautiful, colorful, and fun. We were honored to photograph her at the illustrious Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York City, where she held a solo art showcase from January 11 through February 25, 2018. As Bergdorf’s first solo artist in residence, Longshore filled the retailer’s hallowed seventh-floor interiors section with her irreverent and colorful paintings, sculptures, and furniture. VIE joined her to celebrate at the celebrity-studded grand opening the night before the early-morning private shoot. Bergdorf’s later partnered with the artist to create a prismatic new in-store restaurant, Palette. See the full shoot in our May 2018 issue!
