    A couple of days ago, Helena Christensen’s mom (who looks a lot like her) helped me try on a pair of Alaia hot shorts in her vintage store. Needless to say, they didn’t fit me (they used to belong to Helena). But I was drawn to the store itself because I knew it was full [...]

    Style Shots: Ronia Coats

    December 21, 2009

    Ronia’s big sister Anoko is a fantastic stylist as you can see from this photo! Anoko quickly whipped together this amazing all-Treasury 1880s meets the 1920s outfit!
