something about maria

Terms like 'It girl' and 'Icon' get thrown around a lot. Insert me here doing a lot of eye rolling. But ever since I laid eyes on this particular photo in W, I've been inexplicably magnetized by
Maria Hassabi in my style subconscious.

She's not all over the blogosphere or even a regular fashion magazine fixture. and that I suppose is part of her appeal for me.


It's nice to have a 'private icon.'
