Earlier today, illustrator/ photographer/ blogger extraordinaire Garance Doré gave a talk at FIT that I was fortunate enough to be in attendance at. She impressed me with her honest yet optimistic insight and advice, stressing that if you're passionate and "work your ass off" (direct quote), it will eventually pay off. Garance's understated grace and keen eye for aesthetics and style are what makes her work so unique and and timeless, not to mention her uncommon levelheadedness and grasp on reality in the fashion world. And she graciously obliged to my photographing her. Are there any reasons not to love her?
