INSPIRATION: The Life and Times of Calvin Klein

A couple years back I read an interview with Calvin Klein that reminded me how much drive is required to make a successful career in fashion. When all you see is the fame and fortune of what's on the outside, it's easy to forget how people get started and what is necessary to see your dreams through. There was a time when the brand and the man were on top of the world. The ad campaigns were unmatched, he was truly an innovator.  If you're needing a pick me up because business is letting you down I really recommend this article.

Jerry Hall: ICON

Sometimes I get very nostalgic for fashion past. Sometimes the glitz and shimmer of 70's and 80's fashion photography makes me wish for something more hard core and in your face for right now. Jerry Hall sums up the vibe of that era: sexy, unreachable, beautiful, girl next door. She was two parts Amazon and one part southern bell. Irresistible rock royalty, ruby lipped bombshell, care free party girl. Men wanted her, women wanted to be her- isn't that the definition of celebrity? I love all of these images, the one that really seems to sum her up is the portrait for Vanity Fair of her breastfeeding her baby. With both eyes on the camera she's saying: Look at me! I am a mother, a glamazon, rich, famous, and I'm flaunting my womanhood right in your face-and you like it!
