illy barney Christmas 2010
Miss Illy lives in a posh address Madison Avenue, New York. Lives in a home comprises of 300 illy tins, 250 foil bags (for illy single serve iper capsules).
USed a coffee scoop for earrings and donning a garland make with 300 paper cups, this is how hip Miss Illy is!
Of course, this is not a real person, but a centerpiece setup by Barneys New York Creative director Simon Doonan.
I guess, if you do pass by Madison Avenue, this iconic set up would be hard to miss.
Illy have always been associated with art, having worked with Jeff Koons, Marina Abramovic and in fact the ily famous white on red logo was designed by James Rosenquists -one of pop art's chief protagonists.
So, now that you saw Miss Illy, you might also want to proceed to the 9th floor of this flagship store and have a espresso or cappuccino that is served free by some of the top baristas.
Of course, there would served nothing other than illy...
