(Collette Blanchard and Alicia Keys)

I spent a good chunk of the morning yesterday hanging with Collette Blanchard and Alicia Keys during the launch of Keys new jewelry line with designer Gisele Theriault called "The Barber's Daughters." The gallery is usually quite a "scene" during the opening of a new exhibit. This time the cause for a "scene" was the two day pop up store set up to preview the new line. The pieces range in price from $85 to $2,500. After the two day pop store front sale at Collette Blanchard Gallery the line goes on sale in 2010.

The energy in the gallery was intense and amazing as media, staff, and the multiple Grammy Award winning artist herself wandered the gallery looking at the collection AND the current exhibit of exciting and beautiful new artwork from artist SunTek Chung. Chung's current show is on display at the gallery through January 20, 2010.

Check out images from the event below.
