Over 500 attendees swarmed to SVA's opening of MFAD faculty member Louise Fili's exhibition, "Elegantissima: The Design and Typography of Louise Fili". The exhibition, designed MFAD faculty member by Kevin O'Callaghan, filled the ADC (Art Directors Club) on West 29th Street with thematic rooms with Fili's books, book covers, food packages and more.
In attendance were MFAD alumni Jennifer Kinon, Bobby Martin, co-chair Lita Talarico, Nick Ace and Deborah Adler (above)
The installation is up through September 19th when MFAD will host a closing party for students, alumni, faculty and friends of the program. Join the community for a toast to Fili and a feast of gelato.
