I passed by this astonishingly beautiful woman in Tribeca the other day and was left breathless after snapping a few shots Its people like her, who take risks and wear what they love that inspire me everyday.

Marvin is one of the most stylish guys about town. He never rushes the seasons, in fact his girlfriend took a look at him and asked if it was Easter and he said to me, ” People think you can’t wear color in winter, the funny thing is they think light colors are for Summer only.” Marvin wears what he loves and looks great doing it!

This gentleman always looks absolutely charming and put together. I have run into him a few times and enjoy his mix of classic elegance paired with casual jeans and boots. Check out a photo of this dashing fellow taken last year below.

This lady looked lovely in her pink felted wool jacket which she wore on at trip to The New Museum. Her husband gave me a little information about the jacket:

The “pink” jacket was purchased in a small shop in Nida, Lithuania, in July, 2008. The shop is 50 yards from the summer home that the Nobel Prize author, Thomas Mann, built in 1929 and had to abandon in 1933. The jacket, made of felt, was made in a Lithuanian workshop. The model was on a one week bicycle tour at the time. She lives in San Francisco and graduated from Radcliffe over 50 years ago.
