Paz

I am in love with this editorial of Paz de la Huerta! First of all, I have been a huge fan of hers since I saw her in "The Cider House Rules" she is most definitely what makes Boardwalk Empire so interesting to me!
The vintage styling by Imogene Barron is impeccable. Hello Styling with kimonos...so fresh!!

Lagerfeld's Friends

After reading "The Beautiful Fall" twice I have become quite obsessed with designers and their muses. \

Karl Lagerfeld has had a slew of muses throughout his years as a designer.

Antonio Lopez,
Donna Jordan,
Ines de la Fressange,
Jacques de Bascher de Beaumarchais,
Baptiste Giabiconi,
Pat Cleveland to name a very few.

When I was living in NYC my best friend Natalie was part of the Karl entourage for a hot minute. Natalie was working for Libertine at the time and Karl was a huge fan of the company. He began frequenting the studio and inviting the crew to all of his events in New York. Karl's assistant at the time took a great liking to Natalie and she was swept off into Lagerfeld Land. I did her makeup (my other job) for one of the great parties he invited her too, it was like preparing the princess for the ball!

What Would Catherine do?

In times of fashion strife or trouble, I always ask What would Catherine do?

And as simple as that... the problem is solved.

8. print is to die for, but it had moth holes :(
9. I love the floral motif and color way, but it was a horrible 1990s button front shirt

Joan "Tiger" Morse

Tiger Morse represents a sort of glamourous debauchery that made up so much of the cool 60s. Working with everyone from Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention to being the subject of the 1967 Andy Warhol film, "Tiger Morse", Tiger had her own clothing boutique called Teeny Weeny, providing eclectic ranges of clothing to the masses. She was most known for her personal eclectic style and fabulous collection of unique eyewear! my kinda gal!


I actually found the white FF77 lenses she is wearing in the first picture!!! They are a serious collectors piece :)
