What an honor to be featured in the new February issue of ELLE Japon's Closet Confidential (other wardrobe/flat write-ups include Margherita Missoni, Mary Fellowes and Natasha Royt). It's always a delightful experience to collaborate with both the ELLE Japon and winsome ELLE Girl teams; moreover working with the ever-so-elegant Makiko Monji was an absolute dream. Not to mention garnering the opportunity to meet designers Mikhael Kale and Akiko Ogawa was an unforeseen lagniappe!
As per usual, my ragdoll cat Daisy insisted on making a few inevitably adorable cameos (word has it she even manages to make a little appearance in an upcoming Teen Vogue as well)! The most sincere of thanks to Taiwan's favorite fashion blog MAGSTYLE for sending along the pristine scans; I generally tend to demur from posting profuse photos of myself – there are no doubt copious other talented bloggers more-than-willing to oblige – so many apologies for the deviation!
