I love incorporating color and prints into my looks and never take myself too seriously. HOW DO YOU SWITCH UP YOUR LOOK FROM LATE SUMMER TO FALL In the late summer I am still wearing lighter fabrics, but transitioning into fall colors. Once fall hits I am ready to wear richer tones and textures as well as play with layers.

It’s been the core clothing material at the center of hip youth culture in California for the last 40 or 50 years.” “The big thing I am trying to access is memory and how we deal with memory, what that means, how we remember people and who creates the lasting images of people. We all have our connections to people who we admire and it’s my own way of examining my own connections.”
