• SCAD FASH Presents Pierre Cardin Exhibit In Atlanta

    2 Min Read

    French fashion designer Pierre Cardin is the subject of a fashion exhibition put on by Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). It opens this week and will run until Sept. 30.

    The retrospective SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film exhibition focuses on Cardin and his futuristic designs.

    SCAD FASH Focuses On Pierre Cardin’s Futurism 

    Describing his principal philosophy, Cardin explained, “The clothes I prefer are the garments I invent for a lifestyle that does not yet exist — the world of tomorrow.” The exhibition celebrates Cardin’s spirit and vision, both unwaveringly inspired by the future.

    Pierre Cardin has always been a futurist, and innovative thinking has served as the cornerstone of his immense career success. What better way to celebrate his legacy as a pioneer of design and business practice-in fashion, global commerce, art, architecture, advertising, entertainment-than a newly curated exhibition of his work at SCAD, the world’s preeminent university for creative professions?” said SCAD president and founder Paula Wallace in a written statement.

    Wallace added: “Come to SCAD FASH to see what Pierre saw. Come celebrate the man, the creator, the legend. Come step into the future he saw for us all.”

    The exhibition is open to the public with the cost of museum admission. Admission is free for all museum members, as well as SCAD students, faculty and staff with a valid SCAD Card. For more information on the exhibition, visit scadfash.org.

  • Census: Metro Atlanta One Of Nation’s Fastest-Growing Regions

    2 Min Read

    The Atlanta metropolitan area continues to grow by leaps and bounds, coming in No. 4 in cities with the biggest number of people moving in. Georgia’s largest city is only behind  Dallas, Houston and Phoenix in number of people moving in, despite rising property prices, according to new numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau.

    Among America’s fastest growing regions, metro Atlanta has about 5.7 million residents, making it the ninth-largest metro area in the country. Much of the gains are happening in North Fulton County, which is the most affluent area of the metro area and state.

    Just under 600,000 residents have moved into the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell area from 2010 and 2017, the census reports.

    Since that time period only 12 other regions had more people added to their populations. Atlanta’s business climate, including a robust startup environment and the influx of Fortune 500 companies looking to plant roots here, has made the region a leading metro area.

    Top 10 Metro Areas by Population (2016)

    MSA 2016 Estimate
    1 New York, NY 20,153,634
    2 Los Angeles, CA 13,310,447

    Two Atlanta Restaurants Make OpenTable’s ‘Big Night Out’ List

    2 Min Read

    Two well-respected Atlanta eateries have made the list of OpenTable’s Best Restaurants for a Big Night Out.

    Two Urban Licks in Midtown and The Optimist (West Midtown) made the cut in the list of 100 Best Restaurants in America for a Big Night Out. The list features a bevy of food spots known for great eats, toney locale, lively ambience and other amenities you’d want for a big night out.

    OpenTable, the world’s leading provider of online restaurant reservations, culled the list from more than 12 million verified OpenTable diner reviews collected between February 1, 2017, and January 31, 2018.

    “The list features an array of buzzworthy restaurants, from up-and-coming to established, trendy to tried-and-true, across 24 states and Washington D.C.” said Caroline Potter, Chief Dining Officer at OpenTable. “Whatever your notion of a big night out entails, whether it’s a bustling bar scene or a spot to see-and-be-seen, fun is on the menu at any of these honorees.”

    TWO Urban Licks, located at 820 Ralph McGill Blvd NE, Atlanta, GA 30306, is one of the hippest bars and food spots in ATL. One of the city’s busiest restaurants, Two Urban Licks is a well-known date-night restaurant and is known for its lively yet romantic ambience.

    The Optimist, located at 914 Howell Mill Rd, Atlanta, GA 30318, is an opulent eatery known as a seafood lover’s paradise and must-do dining for couples. From the oysters to the drinks, it’s a place that knows what it’s doing, from start to finish.

  • Watch: Prince Plays Atlanta Concert Days Before His Death

    1 Min Read

    Few people could imagine that when Prince came to the Fox Theatre for an intimate, stripped down performance on April 14, 2016, that it would be his last.

    The artist had originally planned to play Atlanta on April 7, but he canceled for an undisclosed reason at the time. The word was that he had gotten a bug of some sort and needed a few more days to recover.

    So he announced that he’d play two shows at the Fox a week later as part of his “Prince & a Microphone” show. Prince Rogers Nelson dropped dead in his elevator days later just outside Minneapolis. The Atlanta show will go down in history as the last time audiences heard the musical genius play.
