Elizabeth Peyton is a contemporary American artist who paints stylized and romanticized portraits of her close friends, celebs, and European monarchy.After graduating from New York's School of Visual Arts in the mid-'80s, she had her first solo show at the Althea Viafora Gallery in SoHo in 1987, and rose to popularity in the mid-'90s. Among her subjects, which are often inspired by photographs, are Liam Gallagher, Julian Casablancas, Jarvis Cocker, Chloë Sevigny, Princes William and Harry, Abraham Lincoln, Marc Jacobs (above), Keith Richards, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Eminem, and members of the Kennedy family.

The collection is the first full line designed by Simon Kneen and according to WWD and he’s been busy modernizing silhouettes, upgrading fabrics and refining the customer experience in stores, including testing new services. If this preview is any indication we are going to love tonight's collection which will staying true to the brand's iconic color palette of khaki, gray, and whites has integrated a host of "California hues" that evoke David Hockney's pool blues, Wayne Thiebauld's pastel pastry paintings, and of course Elizabeth Peyton's jewel tone colors. Banana Republic is the global sponsor of the artist’s first survey, “Live Forever: Elizabeth Peyton,” at the New Museum in Manhattan.

Banana Republic, the Global Lead Sponsor of the New Museum’s presentation and tour of Live Forever: Elizabeth Peyton, is helping fashion lovers explore their artistic side with a limited edition eco-tote that includes the Book Live Forever: Elizabeth Peyton.

Live Forever: Elizabeth Peyton is a career retrospective of the celebrated painter whose idealized and stylized portraits are a unique commentary on popular culture and its relationship to celebrity. Her romanticism has drawn criticism throughout her career, as has comparisons to David Hockney and Andy Warhol, and yet in a culture of increasingly panoptic reality her warm interpretative inspiration gives both viewer and subject a chance to see beyond traditional portraiture and the limitations of quotidian paparazzi imagery

The exhibition and catalogue documents the artist’s entire career to date and includes samples from her own personal archive of source imagery (magazine clippings, historical paintings and unpublished snapshots) along with detailed commentaries on the individual works.

Phaidon’s catalogue features more than 200 images and three essays, presented in a unique design befitting the artist’s subject matter, taking the form of a record or CD case with a detached spine and the book’s details inscribed on the inside cover like liner notes.

An ideal gift, the tote will be available for purchase in select Banana Republic stores nationwide on November 6 for $100.
