The New Old Hollywood Glamor:Turbans

I have always admired the glamor of Old Hollywood. When I was a kid my grandma and I would watch old movies together, and I was struck by the style of ladies like Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo,Bettie Davis and Grace Kelly. The ladies I photograph are a reminder that glamor is always in style. Turbans are not only one of my favorite accessories to photograph,they are also an easy and practical way to add a bit of vintage style into any wardrobe.

Vintage YSL in Central Park

I saw this woman wearing a vintage YSL suit in Central Park over the weekend.She told me that she bought her suit over 20 years at Bergdorf’s and that it is still one of her favorites. When I asked what her style philosophy was she replied,”First of all whatever is inside of you you have to believe in beauty. Beauty is harmony and harmony is the whole purpose of the universe.”

The Colorful Life of Zoya


A few days ago I posted a picture of 72 year old Zoya dressed all in black. Here she is again in a much brighter dress and floral sweater. What first drew me to photograph Zoya, was her confidence and beautiful spirit. Style isn’t only about the clothes we wear, but also how we carry and express ourselves. Zoya’s lives a colorful life filled with music, art, and fashion. Her style is a reflection of her rich appreciation of culture and beauty.
