Actress Kaylee DeFer



“She looks like a princess,” whispered Tallulah when we walked through the doors of The Chatwal Hotel in midtown Manhattan.  A modern day Ariel with her flowing red hair!  An Upper East Side Princess to be exact!! Move over Blake and Leighton there’s a new Gossip Girl in town and her name is Kaylee DeFer.  Super excited to be commissioned by the uber-cool independently-spirited Filler Magazine -we went backstage on New York based photographer Nicholas Routzen fashion shoot with Kaylee.  Knowing the high priestess of fashion would be in and out of bad girl mode on the day- I thought it would be fun to create a character for our film-a sort of guardian angel for Kaylee. The angels name?  Tallulah of course!

Lee Greene



Lee Greene is one super cool chic.  I LOVE this girl-she is part sweetness part Rock n Roll with legs that go on forever! Tallulah and I met Lee when she was being photographed for my friend Katie Kiechel’s debut bag line K.Kiechel. Tallulah and her danced, giggled, made up funny walks and I was lucky enough to record all of this beautiful silliness.  Apart from her willingness to play,  Lee is also a philanthropist.  She has teamed up with and co-hosted charity events for Artists for Peace and Justice.  APJ is a non-profit organization founded by award winning filmmaker and friend, Paul Haggis, that works to provide an education, hot meals, clean drinking water and regular medical treatments to the children living in the slums of Haiti.

Lindsay Ellingson



We spent a warm day in Upstate New York with Gorgeous Victoria Secret model Lindsay Ellingson.  Michael was shooting a grunge story-an homage to the early 90’s movement which was such an important part of my youth.  So much of it was caught up in the music we were listening to- Nirvana, Pearl Jam…We scoured the vintage shops mining see-through tea dresses and vintage cheongsams (I still have mine) and paired them with heavy biker boots and threadbare leather jackets.  Then Marc Jacobs (last collection) for Perry Ellis sent supermodels down the catwalk and grunge went from subculture to the masses and a fashion superstar was born.  I still love mixing the super feminine with masculine utilitarianism.  In fact its an absolute must!  It was a great time-we retired our Azzedine Alaia and returned to our slacker roots! You can imagine how over the moon I was when Carola the fashion editor asked if Tallulah could take part in the shoot!  My very own Grunge baby!  The black and white photo (left) is taken from the Neo Grunge story that ran in Italian Elle.  Tallulah was the first shot of the day so we were free to play-running through the fields exploring nature and taking lots of pictures! The big red barn housed all the glorious fashion and we were left alone eating grapes and mulling over the clothes in the sunshine snapping our favorites-a Christian Dior floral print tea dress dress with vintage inspired underwear- a black suede Gucci bag with heavy chain and ringed hardware.  I have my eye on the Altuzarra grunge-influenced Fall 2011 collection with utility parkers and sexy dresses-and this weekend marks the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s album Nevermind-I think it’s time to revisit the grunge look only this time my lace up leather boots will have high heels!

Coco Rocha



She’s beautiful, has an incredible wit, she’s a supermodel and my daughter fell in love with her!  Tallulah and I turned up on location where my husband Michael was photographing Coco for Italian Elle Magazine.  The whole issue was dedicated to Coco and Michael was one of three photographers to photograph her.  I’ve followed Coco’s career ever since I saw that hauntingly beautiful face stare out from the Cover of Italian Vogue, Steven Meisel had shot in April 2006.  She’s gone on to grace the cover of American Vogue and has been at the very top ever since.
