Bag Lady

Love the contrast of the leather carry-all with that of the plastic shopping bag in these two images. Either bag, Frida is breathtaking. Now that's model style.

Nature

I know, I know, I'm pushing it with these two images. I shot the one of Frida after the Christian Dior Fall 2010 Haute Couture show, and the other one yesterday in front of the lake at St. Moritz. But aren't you floored by the striking similarities of the color palette? Nature never ceases to amaze me. Neither does fashion. Not on the same level of course, and we are of course influenced by the colors that we see around us. No doubt this view from St. Moritz lake would have been a notable source of inspiration for the textile designers who created the print of Frida's gorgeous late-sixties, vintage dress.

Surprise

I knew it had to be something good when Tommy signaled me from across the street outside the John Varvatos men's Spring 2011 runway show. But I had no idea that it would be Frida Gustavsson good. Taking her picture was a lovely treat at the end of a long, cold and wet day.
