Art, to wear

I have to change over my closet this weekend.
You know, pull out the winter clothes and finally put away all the summer stuff.
I think we’re safe now… right?
All I know is today is the first day I am wearing both boots and a sweater.
Which has got me thinking about clothes for the next few months — and reminded me of an event this weekend that will feature some cool-weather fashions.
Ellie Kimelman of The Eclectic Collector in Katonah is holding a trunk show and sale, one featuring the wearable-art creations of Chris Triola, a Michigan artist.
I just took at look at Triola’s Web site, and it’s filled with some pretty unique pieces — including a wealth of beautiful jackets, shawls and scarves.
A preview is set for 5 to 8 p.m. tomorrow, with the trunk show continuing from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
And stopping by the store will likely give you some ideas for holiday gifts.
I was in the shop a few weeks ago, talking to Kimelman about White Plains glass artist David Licata (whose work she was then starting to carry).
I have to say I was amazed at the shop’s collection — creations by more than 400 artists in glass, folk art, jewelry, dolls, journals and Judaica.
(And FYI, the shop has also set the date for its holiday opening — 5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 15).
It’s at 215 Katonah Ave. Call 914-232-8700.
