“Weiss said that after finding out about the La Jolla Fashion Film Festival, which is embarking this month on its second year, she said she knew the event was the perfect backdrop for the rare photographs’ introduction to the world.
“[Warhol] would have never wanted to have his photos up on a wall and have nothing going on around them. Following Warhol and his relationship to art, film, fashion and people in general, I thought the festival would be a good fit,” said Weiss. “I also think the festival is incredible, something I’d like to see build out and tour. I think Warhol, if he were around, he’d want to be part of something like this.””
