Mia Tyler Talks About Her Debut Photo Exhibition at New York City's RIFF
22.05.12
While most kids her age were busy with soccer practice and passing love notes, Mia Tyler was hobnobbing with rock & roll royalty. The oldest daughter of the late Cyrinda Foxe and Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler, she clocked significant underage time in New York’s once decadent and dazzling downtown music scene. She was eventually drawn into modeling, which took up most of the first decade of her adulthood (along with the occasional acting gig). Never totally comfortable in front of the camera, she was forever wondering what it would be like to be on the other side of the lens. When she received a camera as a birthday present from her dad, her interest in photography went from curiosity to obsession in no time at all, and she began carrying it with her everywhere she went.
The results will be on public display for the first time when her debut exhibition opens today. Hosting the show is RIFF, Andy Hilfiger’s happening shop / gallery / event space built around his new fashion line Andrew Charles (for which Steven Tyler acted as creative director and his other daughter Chelsea modeled), fittingly located in the old CBGB Gallery space on the Bowery.
