#Heroes | As seen in V137, our new fall preview issue, V turn our attention towards costume designer and experimental artist @robinsnewland. Spending the late '80s honing her craft while working under design titan Patricia Field, rubbing elbows with the likes of Keith Haring & Andy Warhol, and sitting for portraits by iconic photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, Newland's artistry has been fueled by the eccentric characters that orbit around her world. And while over the past two decades she's kept a low profile remaining the industry's best kept secret, the art aficionado is ready to step into the spotlight with a new perspective. With her debut solo exhibition "A Dolls Perspective”—which opens today at @villageworksnyc—Newland reconnects with mentor Patricia Field inside V137 to reflect on her design roots and the next chapter of her artistry.
