She’s probably one of the coolest chicks out there on the fashion scene and I love that she dresses like one of the boys with such confidence and assurance. Her color combinations and layers are like magic and I love the edge that she adds to each of the classic looks with her haircut and jewelry. She’s just a total badass and to say I’m obsessed with her just doesn’t cut it.

I have loved working on this project and the process of bringing together artists that I love and admire has been very inspiring to me.
STASH BUILDS. STASH COLLECTS. STASH LOVES.
