page 8, "The Chelsea Hotel has long been a haven for artists, writers, and musicians, fostering a community of creativity and innovation. Its walls have witnessed the creation of countless masterpieces, making it a symbol of artistic freedom and expression. The recent $25 million renovation has not only restored the hotel’s former glory but also introduced new elements, including luxurious rooms and chic restaurants, ensuring its continued relevance as a cultural hotspot. The Artistic Fusion of Fashion and Art: Mercura’s Wearable Masterpieces Critics in Art News Magazine, Claude Leseur of Art News NYC, Gloria Nicola of 20/20 Vision, and Isabella Morpurgo of Vedere International eyewear magazine herald Mercura for its unparalleled depth, architectural philosophy, and artistic flair. Each piece, born from the creative souls of two artists, transcends mere functionality, transforming eyewear into a breathtaking, glamorous experience. Mercura’s creations are a testament to the artists’ emotional and spiritual journey. The expressive, emotionally charged pieces contrast with the playful, geometric designs, all unified by a deep philosophical underpinning. This duality showcases the artists’ ability to evolve and innovate continually." Joseph DeAcetis
