IT'S ALL IN THE CARDS - SHAPE & FORM

Shape and form can take many incarnations - from the stark shape of a beautifully illustrated coat to the delicate form of an ultra feminine ruffled sleeve to the natural beauty of a perfect human body.

CHAMELEONS UNITE

Iconic Meisel photoshoot starring Linda and Kristen - THE iconic super-chameleons of their day. Minimal set, minimal wardrobe, minimal hair & makeup, maximum effect.

CELESTIAL INSPIRATION

STAR SEARCH was the American Idol of it's day. They used to feature a TV Spokesmodel category that had me running back like a druggie on the 15th. This used to give me my fashion life as a kid. If it wasn't Miss USA, Miss Universe, Style with Elsa Klensch or Charlie's Angels, then it was definitely STAR SEARCH. I particularly LOVED Tracey Ross, winner of the show's first season. That blunt bob was so fierce and timeless and mother gave you Virginia Slims realness every week in the photo shoots.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Kudos to photographer extraordinaire Nick Knight for telling it like it is. "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?". We should be past this by now.
