life’s too short to do, or be, just one thing :)
Isabel Jane was born and raised in New York City, where she currently resides (previous stints in Paris, Providence, Puerto Rico, and San Francisco).
"Why make anything up?" She will argue. It's all right in front of you—walking a dog, shaking out the morning paper on a park bench, a nodding head to a silent rhythm on the train, a delivery bike whizzing by.
If you’re not inspired by what’s around you, look again,
then look some more.
With the streets of New York as a homebase, inspiration is everywhere in the quotidien couture of the sidewalk. Construction workers, delivery soldiers, suits, tourists, teens, oldsters — each individual offers a visual encyclopedia.
