Got A Girl A Girl Crush On: Shingai Shoniwa

Bawdy. Cheeky. Pint-sized, but can wear mountain-heels that double as artful sculptures.

Girl might be my new style hero for the one-part, well-placed high-end designer piece mixed with a british charity shop find. It all works. And, she has the pipes to boot. I photographed Shingai, the lead singer of UK band The Noisettes, this past June for Venus magazine’s “Style Idol” profile–and she was a pleasure to shoot (more on my flickr).
