To Read: My Mom, The Style Icon


                                  








This blog- turned- book is a great collection of stories and style inspiration,
 not to mention the killer retro photographs. Must read/ must buy!

Inspiration: Rineke Dijkstra and Mario Sorrenti










Mario's images of Kate never cease to amaze me with their earnest and almost unforgiving realism. This  straight approach to photographing people instantly reminds me of Rineke Djikstra's swimmers projects- the simple frankness and emotional honesty in her photographs is haunting and undeniably beautiful.
