The silhouette on the left is breathtaking, love the structure of the dress on the right.

The silhouette on the left is elegant and striking. This Giorgio Armani dress can be worn inside-out and still be white-hot means that it is well-made and brilliantly crafted. We love the interior structure of the dress on the right and the exterior drape on the left.

An intimate dialogue exists between an artist’s masterpiece and the viewer.

I’m currently obsessed with language and vocabulary. They’re works of art in themselves with history and inspiration. Timo and Alan are finding their voices as debutante designers as they prepare tirelessly for Fashion Week. Using the right words can make all the difference…especially with body language.

Gisele shot by David LaChapelle for the FACE in 2000.

So many amazing early shots of Kate Moss and other icons were torn out of this mag and put onto my inspiration board. First inspiration board idea came from my best lady friend Georgiana Moreton, who also showed me the FACE for the first time…!

early cover shot of Kate Moss at age 15...amazing.
