Art Miami: New ready-to-wear raises money in honor of teen lost at sea


Last summer, Art Miami director Nick Korniloff and his wife, fair marketing director Pamela Cohen, lost their teenage son Perry Cohen in a storm while fishing. To honor his memory and raise funds for the foundation named in Perry's honor, the fair is offering jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, hats and tote bags designed byThe Original Inside Pocket Company Founder and Chief Creative Officer and Artist Brad Dubrowsky. The message: Look @ Art, Not your Phone, is aimed to encouraging teens to stop looking down and get outside. It's a fit with their son's great love of the outdoors, said the couple via a statement. "Perry, like every other teenager, loved his mobile device. However, he loved being outdoors fishing, boating, bodysurfing, skateboarding and playing with his friends or pets more. It was at these times that he was in his element and at his happiest."
