Muse of the week: Elizabeth Kiester
I honestly didn’t think I could feel any more inspired after my election high until I re-connected with my old friend and former co-worker Elizabeth Kiester and found out she has moved to Cambodia. Elizabeth had always stood out to me as one of those rare New York fashion media forces who never carried an [...]

Muse of the week: Shawna McBean
Meet my friend Shawna McBean, an unofficial sister and longtime friend. Many of you may recognize her as she’s had quite a long career as a model.

1) Art magazines
Ever since I was little, pouring over my mom’s women’s magazines, I’ve

Outfits we like

INSPIRATION: The Wardrobe
Now that it’s warm enough to show a little leg, we’re all about riding out the transitional weather in cut-off jeans the way Joy Bryant does here. Added bonus: you don’t have to pay a lot of dough. This can easily be done at home by hacking last year’s bootlegs.-Museinfo@musemag.net

INSPIRATION: The Palette
While the rest of the fashion world is powdering their faces pale in an attempt to reinterpret the geisha girl beauty trend, we’d rather experiment with dark bronzers the way that Lauryn Hill does here.
