fashion poetry: The Harder To Get The Better To Have

The Harder To Get The Better To Have

I'm really excited for this upcoming shoot, with my beautiful buddies Brittany Powers and Tim Shroyer (below). Shaun is shooting with stark, bright lighting like the W shoot with Ginnifer Goodwin (top), and I'm going to style them with leather and black and a lot of bling. Kate Hudson's makeup by Dick Page (above) is perfect, like black leather. But just like black nail polish, black lipstick needs to be taken down a notch so as not to scream 2007.

I'm thinking twilight colored, not midnight.

I love poetry and fashion for the same reasons--both speak a language that is both dramatic and subtle, and can be enjoyed on the most basic level (as simple as the poetry of a song or beautiful fashion photography) or considered with the furvor as a scholar.

With poetry, I find great inspiration in the the passionate works of the 13th century Sufi poet Rumi, last century's romantic Chilean poet Pablo Neruda and my late grandmother Anita Hamm. It will be my greatest pleasure to share some of the poetry that makes me tick, plus some of my own.

Each season I anticipate the poetic work of designer Albert Elbaz of Lanvin, the strong focus of Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler and the eco-conscious elegant athleticism of Stella McCartney (to name a few), as well as what the designers at home in Portland are creating. Fashion's ever-changing landscape makes for an engaging show. I love contributing to the fashion dialog--I am proud of my work as a writer, makeup artist and stylist and when I'm helping to create beautiful photographs on set, I find myself pinching myself to see if it's just a dream!
