I love model casting days, to me it’s so inspiring because each girl is her own story – a sea of endless possibilities. Every photo shoot starts with a vision. For designer Misha Nonoo’s “Once Upon a Time“, we wanted to tell a story of a young banished princess, childlike and beautiful, nymph-like and wild. When you cast, you watch carefully, looking for that perfect muse who will bring your vision to life. And then when you see her, you know.
It’s just like falling in love…
When I think of the 1950s, I think of Marilyn Monroe, black & white movies, jazz, and drive-in theaters. I like to imagine cuddling up to my love on the big bench seats after the sun has set and being alone aside from the glowing headlights of night… It was a new age for America & the automobile was here to stay.
The 1953 Lincoln Capri was like a Dave Brubeck album—smooth and sophisticated, it was the perfect canvas for the budding starlets of the era. Marilyn Monroe owned one!
It is with great honor Lincoln asked us to capture the romance of time through a series of Cinemagraphs with their classic cars so that we may all keep the memory of love going at any speed.

Glamorous. Feminine. Beautiful.
ps- more from my photographic love affair with Donna Karan here & here…
Always with a conscious eye on nature, spirit and energy, Donna Karan once again showed us what it means to be goddess. With a green gown that looked as if it floated down the runway to a collection of dresses in the colors of the sunset, nobody drapes a woman’s body more flattering than Donna Karan and this collection, for me, was one of the most inspired.
