Siki Im and Leong Leong's Pop-up Boutique for BOFFO

The latest installation for the  non-profit arts organization BOFFO project "Building Fashion" launched Friday.  Designer Siki Im and architect Leong Leong presented their pop-up boutique, or what I call "cave couture".  The stone or cave-like building dwells under the High Line Park.

Building Fashion is a series of temporary installations that have been  a collaboration between design professionals of several disciplines.  Past partnerships included Richard Chai and Snarkitecture, Heather Huey and Urban A&O and of course House of Waris with competition winner Christian Wassman.
The shop will be on display until November 15th, 2010.
