My niece, Tafv Sampson, is graduating from high school today. This is her, on the right, returning from a wild road trip to California with her friend Robin and the band Justice. You can read all about the adventure here and here (Tafv's mom happens to be Jack & Hill contributor Nancy Rommelmann).
I also love these pics of Tafv modeling for the avant garde fashion cooperative Seaplane.
Tafv is stylish without being trendy, she makes her own fashion and art (I have bought both clothes and photographs from her), and the most devastatingly glamorous thing about her, I'd say, is how casually sane she is. In my day, artist/adventuresses were brilliant and impulsive, but also troubled and a mess. We didn't get to where she is until we were about thirty.
Happy graduation, Tafv, from Aunt Hillary and Aunt Jackie!
congrats. It is a cold cruel world out there. Good luck.

Congrats to a talented designer. Much-impressed by the designs I saw in Tafv's workshop area when I visited Nancy! And by a very cool zippered Tafv-designed shirt Nancy wore that reminded me of the Girbaud's creativity.
