I happened to be perusing the J. Crew website and saw THE coolest thing…a pictorial shot by Garance Doré and Scott Schuman. Here’s the deal:
J.Crew is all about an inspiring mix of timeless designs crafted from some of the finest fabrics around the globe. Now that we are shipping worldwide, we can’t wait to see how our seriously stylish new friends are wearing their favorite pieces. So we sent photographers Garance Doré and Scott Schuman on an eight-city tour to gather the evidence proving that amazing style, one-of-a-kind color and impeccable quality know no time zone!

A: I studied journalism, so I love to observe everything! From the moment I wake up, all I can think about is my blog. It’s not only about fashion, it’s about art, friends and my lifestyle. I hope it helps others find their style.

things as well.”
Q: Tell us about your magazine, The Talks.
A: It’s an online interview magazine I founded with Johannes Bonke.
