LOOK UP Times Square × Venice | Michael Angelo Limited-Edition Silk Scarf
A limited-edition wearable artwork created for the LOOK UP Times Square × Venice capsule collection.
Featuring a design by Michael Angelo, this silk scarf brings together four affirmations: I AM BEAUTIFUL. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. WE ARE BEAUTIFUL. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. White lettering appears against pink and blue brickwork, framed by a geometric border in pink, white, and blue.
The repeated messages offer a celebration of beauty, individuality, and belonging, bringing a spirit of connection into a wearable artwork designed to be worn, displayed, framed, and treasured.
From the High Line to LOOK UP
This scarf draws its origins from Michael Angelo’s YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL public art project alongside New York City’s High Line. In June 2020, the artist installed a monumental Polaroid bearing that affirmation, bringing a message of self-worth into the city’s public space.
Created amid COVID-19, Black Lives Matter, Pride, and a period of social unrest and uncertainty, the installation acknowledged the people quietly doing beautiful things for one another. Its message was a simple act of recognition: “I see you. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.”
On this scarf, that message expands into four affirmations—I AM BEAUTIFUL, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, WE ARE BEAUTIFUL, and THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL—carrying the project’s spirit of recognition and inclusion from the High Line into the LOOK UP Times Square × Venice capsule collection.
Michael Angelo describes the YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL imagery as a digital collage incorporating photographs of bricks and Polaroids with glitter and nail polish paintings.
