Emily Duffy is the creator of the Vain Van, an art car covered in women's bras, hair rollers, mirrors, plastic fatty foods on the rear end and the "Four Saints of Beauty" painted on the doors. She also created the Bra Ball and the Mondrian Art Car, my very first blog entry on art car central. Emily is a regular at Art Car Fest and recently she was featured on an episode by the Smithsonian Channel called "America Wild and Wacky"
Emily Duffy created Vain Van as "Penance" for her time in the fashion industry that pushes a distorted view of how women should look. Now she is on a mission to undo the self hatred caused by the fashion industry and help women feel good about themselves through her car.
