Top of my Christmas list is ‘Sieff Fashion‘, a new book on French photographer Jeanloup Sieff by his daughter, also a photographer, Barbara Sieff. Paris Vogue talks with Barbara about the images she chose for the book and the stories behind them.

Charlotte Rampling

Vogue.com has a wonderful review of The Look a new documentary on iconic actress and KiC style favorite Charlotte Rampling.

The Tory Burch blog has a great Q & A with the artist Ahn Duong.  An exhibition of Ahn’s self portraits at the Sonnabend Gallery is up until December 22nd. Ahn would come to see me at Vogue when she was modeling and her personal style was truly inspirational!

Charlotte on the brain

Sometimes when I’m feeling a bit uninspired by fashion (could it be the inches of snow every three days so you can’t wear anything decent outside?), I go back and look at images of women whose style I wish I could somehow replicate. Charlotte Rampling is a favorite–a sensual, yet no-nonsense woman. Her style is so simple, it is more about her than what she is wearing. Yet it is exactly what she is wearing that makes in work.
