because printed dresses and bold nail polish are always a good, left-of-centre look. particularly in a place like LA where block colors seemingly reign supreme amid the masses. i probably spoke with shana for about a minute after meeting her earlier this week. to describe her as “bubbly” is an understatement. several moments after speaking with her, three people told me her mother looks exactly like dolly parton.
the color purple suddenly becomes all the more alluring courtesy of crystal, who celebrated her birthday in LA last night. she reminds me of an artist’s muse. i can imagine some modern-day kandinsky becoming obsessed with her for some reason. here’s lookin’ at you dear lady.
the golyester trip continues…
same same but different. the more i shoot, the more i notice parallels between both paris style and LA looks. here, its all about the cane as the top shot was captured earlier this afternoon in LA. the bottom image was taken two weeks ago in paris.
ps: today i received an email from i-D magazine notifying me that they will feature my blog in an upcoming issue. for each and every one of you whose eyes continue to follow these paragraphs of text, thank you for your support and importantly, for spreading the word. delinlee shoots for YOU!
golyester pizazz in effect.
“the most memorable style icons were during the bazaar epoque between the years 1958 – 1966.” take it from a lady who gives good vintage – its been in her family since 1972 so when zoe speaks, you’re well advised to listen. nuff’ said. zoe manages golyester, a vintage store on south la brea which clearly takes the cake as heaven on earth for any fashion fan. watch this space for further photographic evidence of such a sentiment over the following week ahead.
twenty-one year old new york-based university students rarely come more comical than ilona, let me tell you. obsessed by the authenticity of her lacoste vintage shades (picked up browsing through markets in istanbul last summer), this one clearly has a savvy-knack for accessorising. check the old-school fendi bag shape by the way, classic!
meet the ladies of south la brea avenue in los angeles. joy (top) is an official sneaker innuendo working at the cult-trainer emporium named union. mona works next door at stussy and draws quirky illustrations in her spare time. both of them are among the first couple of interesting girls i’ve met in LA so far. expect to see more of them on this blog in the future as the adventure continues…
because suede indian mocassins and aqua-colored supreme bags look kinda funky together.
