stina PERSSON


So, one of my absolute favourite fashion illustrators
is Swedish lady, Stina Persson.
She's just BEYOND amazing and has always
been a huge inspiration to me and my work.


Another of my favourite ladies, you may have noticed,
is la Frenchie, Marion Cotillard.

Imagine, if you will, my thrill at seeing images of Marion
at a Cannes reception for the upcoming film version of 'Nine'
standing in front of a portrait of herself
done by none other than....STINA PERSSON.



Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz & Nicole Kidman
- 'Nine'


Happy Wednesday Hump Day
