Special Thanks
to Amanda Lepore, The Amanda Lepore Merchandise Company, Craig Wolfe of CelebriDucks, Christopher Howes, Nico Iliev, Don
Rodrigues, and grapeVine PR for their support of this exciting project!
The "Amanda
Lepore" CelebriDuck, the FIRST product produced by the Art by Davey Factory since its re-launch in 2008. Originally
began as an artwear company during the 1980s - 1990s in New York, has expanded its vision to include a variety of products
from an eclectic point of view. The "Amanda Lepore" CelebriDuck project began in December of 2007 when Art
by Davey approached Amanda Lepore with the concept, in conjunction with working with sculpture, Christopher Howes, and
the legendary CelebriDucks company. A project which stemmed some 7 months in the making due to the complexity of the custom
built rubber duck design. Once her launch, she has become quite the conversation piece for any environment - a guaranteed
SMILE!!!
The
"Amanda Lepore" CelebriDuck has been featured in Fashion Week Daily, Paper Magazine, Time Out New York, ReFresh
Magazine, Plastic and Plush dot com, ToyCyte dot com, and various downtown and fashion blogs.
Art
