They’re such effective pieces and really make a statement.  It’s incredible how simple yet powerful they are. Naia was born in Bilbao in 1975.

  • Rodarte F/W 2012

      For some New York Fashion Week ends in swollen feet and heavy suitcases, but for those who don’t work in fashion it means  getting to spend an afternoon poring over show after show of runway and backstage pictures.

  • Michelle Violy Harper on her hair

    “My hair is the easiest thing, because really—with a really good shampoo and conditioner and a box of bobby pins and some hair spray, I can do whatever I want. It’s more about the hairpieces, you know? So you saw me doing my hair—it was in a little ponytail, and then I knotted it and […]
