^ ugh all that work GONE
I'm in the process of moving and found this orphan in one of my many folders! From
allure magazine September 1993, Mary Ellen Mark shot by equally inspiring, and immensly talented photographer Manuela Pavesi
Incredible eye behind the lens and in front!
"Photographer Mark thinks of travel and work as inseparable. How she dresses for an assignment in Calcutta is how she dresses for the flight home: in dark colors and loose‑fitting pants and knit tops, her long, wiry hair restrained in a single braid.
Like many professional observers, she cultivates anonymity, but not at the expense of style. "I'm addicted to Japanese designers," she says, finding their clothes to be "classic and modern at the same time." Mark, who's used to shouldering around her Leica, likes bags that free up her hands: a canvas tote that converts to a backpack and, for valuables, a leather waist pouch. Into that goes her most prized beauty tool‑a Koh‑l‑Noor wooden comb for her flyaway mane."
"For photography, you want to wear clothes that don't overcome what you're doing," says Mark. Men's vest and sweater by Rei Kawakubo for Commes des Garçons Homme Plus. Pants by Rei Kawakubo for Commes des Garçons. Boots by Free Lance."
