In Defense of Ugly Chic
In L.A, where the uniform is predictably Hollywood, favoring long, straight hair and girly clothes (or a look like you’ve just come back from the gym), it takes courage to wear lace-up shoes, anything baggy or have your locks cropped short. I’ve adapted a bit to my habitat, having introduced a few tight tees. But I stay strong. Oxfords are still among the most favorite of my collection (and what I wore when photographed for the Washington Post). This Prada skirt is from an upcoming show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dedicated to the bold and sometimes, ugly chic of designers Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada.
