I shot this portrait of designer and art collector, Christophe de Menil for a jewelry series on Vogue.jp. Christophe, 78, designed the pieces above as part of a collection based on sea creatures. She told me that she is inspired by, ” Real things that have scary aspects, things that are insanely wonderful”.

We all have excuses as to why we can’t dress up at a particular moment, but this woman is proof that you can dress stylishly even while grocery shopping. I saw her at Trader Joe’s and asked if I could take her photograph. She told me that she was only dressed for shopping, but I assured her that she looked just marvelous. If you’re in rush throw take a cue from the lady above. Throw on a great pair of shades and a stylish scarf and you’re ready to go!

I love the way she coordinates her hat,scarf,and accessories. Her outfit is the perfect example of Advanced Style, it’s elegant unique and fun. What is your favorite part about this outfit?

Advanced Style Dolls and Drawings

on
When I was a kid I used to make drawings and dolls of fancy ladies. I went home to San Diego not too along ago and found a book of these drawings. People ask me how I came up with the idea for Advanced Style, but if you look at the drawings below,its as if the ladies I used to draw have come to life in my photographs.

A few years ago I started to draw again. Here are some more of my latest creations

My friend Debra Rapoport has been making wonderful dolls based on the drawings!
