FINE ARTS ON DISPLAY
Contemporary art was juxtaposed with luxury fashions Saturday when the works of seven island artists went on display at 2100 Kalakaua Ave. The exhibition opened with private receptions hosted by the participating designer houses and gave guests an opportunity to meet the artists. John Tanji Koga revealed some of the subtleties of his new work as he talked with Gucci executive Sharleen Perreira, second from left, her daughter Ashley Perreira and Serena Karnagy at Gucci. The exhibit continues through Saturday.
