Gossip Girl And D. Porthault Beach Towels

Filed under: Decor

If you are a fan of the teen drama Gossip Girl then you probably know that the show is filming part of their upcoming fall season in the Hamptons. Some of the scenes were shot at the Southampton home of Joan Carl, designer and owner of French home-couture brand D. Porthault. Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, stars of the CW hit show are shown lounging on D. Porthault's cushy Tigre print beach towels. After all, when you loan out your house for filming you should be entitled to some good product placement.

If you aren't ready to invest in contemporary art, how about drying yourself off with it? Target and Art Production Fund have created this set of four beach towels for the Artist Towel Series 2008. The artists featured are Kehinde Wiley, Elizabeth Peyton, Cindy Sherman, and Jeff Koons. The towels are part of Works on Whatever items which are designed by contemporary artists to bring art into everyday life The 60 x 70-inch cotton towels will be available for $50 on Target.com and worksonwhatever.com starting November 19. The towels will also be the official pool towels at the Raleigh Hotel during Art Basel Miami Beach December 5 to 9. Proceeds from sales benefit Art Production Fund's support of major civic artwork projects and half of all proceeds from Koons' towel will also support the Koons Family Institute, which is a resource of the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
