Our inspirational & über-creative friends over at United Creators had their own time in the spotlight during all the New York Fashion Week frenzy. During Fashion Week, UC had their  Fashion’s Night Out 2009 to contribute to the fashion industry’s inspiring efforts to stimulate the economy.

United Creators and New York artist Skye Nicolas extended a helping hand by conceptualising a sophisticated and sexy piece that was unveiled during Fashion’s Night Out 2009, New York Fashion Week: The Salut Beauté Lux-Tee - featuring stunning artwork by Skye Nicolas.

And the marvellers came out in droves. Kate Nauta, fashion model, actress and singer was there to give her support to Skye and Artists for Fashion. The Contemporaries‘ Moran Bar-Kochva was in attendence, R&B singer from the UK, Nathan was there, fashion photographer Jacob Sadrak, entertainment industry specialist Lucia Kaiser, New York society VIP Francois Alexander, models from Ford Models among others were all there to feast their eyes on The Salut Beauté Lux-Tee.

Being the first design to be released from the Artists For Fashion series makes this unique piece a highly collectible item; only 300 of these special limited edition tees will be made available to the public in a joint venture between United Creators and American Apparel. An overwhelming amount of pre-order inquiries from both supporters of the art world and eager fashion fans have already flooded the production team, foretelling that this unique piece may earn its place on the hot list of must-haves for Spring 2010.

The work of Skye Nicolas cultivates a perfect synergy between two forms of art: the art of portraiture, and the art of fashion photography. Both art forms are thematically known to celebrate idealized beauty, romanticism, human sexuality, and the female figure. The provocative power of Nicolas’ large-scale portraits of stunning faces lie in his ‘up-close and personal’ approach to capturing the elusive underlying sensuality and sublime eroticism within his chosen subjects.

Below are some of Skye’s stunning artwork and the first two portraits are featured on the The Salut Beauté Lux-Tee
