Chloe Sevigny bared her legs and just a bit more  at the Chloe Los Angeles Boutique Opening Celebration held at Milk Studios on April 23, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.  We talked about elongating legs with fleshy shoes a while back and this long blazer/short bottom combo has the same effect. Sevigny and Chloe fan, Kate Bosworth have stepped out in this look by the French fashion house a few times over the past year with different accessories.  The last time we saw these proportions on a large scale was in the early 1990’s.  Micheal Kors shows his 1990 collection of short shots and slouchy jackets in the photo at bottom.  Thankfully fashion’s evolution has improved on this aesthetic. See what happened  Sevigny did a 180 here.

Actor Christopher Walken attends the Vanity Fair party for the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival at the State Supreme Courthouse on April 21, 2009 in New York City.

The intriguing actor wasn’t always known as Christopher.  He was born, Ronald Walker and acted as a child alongside his brothers on television.  He is pictured at bottom in 1955 as “Ronnie Walken”  in clown makeup.  A native to Queens, New York he studied dance and theater locally.  He changed his name officially to Christopher in 1964 because a friend thought it suited him better than Ronald (he is pictured in that year below, right).  His unique, halting delivery is often imitated and is described by a crew member from King of New York as a happy side effect to struggling  with  lines.  He has been married to casting director, Georgianne Walken for 40 years.  Check out Walken through the years here.

Looks like Mischa is jumping on the Blonde to Brunette bandwagon.  We are loving her new red/brunette look.  What do you think?!

Actor Carlos Leon (L) and his daughter Lourdes Leon leave the Kabbalah Center on April 18, 2009 in New York City.  Both father and daughter are dressed to narrow the generation gap in hipster garb.  Lourdes is still embracing New York’s “downtown” aesthetic circa 2006 with black stripes on white and bold nerdy eyeglasses (she was wearing a similar look last summer – bottom left).  This rock n’ roll aesthetic was prevalent in circles close to designer Benjamin Cho, whose dark frames and striped shirts have become a signature of sorts over the last five years or so.  We talked about the trickle down effect of geek chic to the mainstream set earlier this year.  Are we ready to move on or will this look be with us for a while?

From “fry ups” to “boring castles,” and “crap snowmen” to “abandoned ironing boards,” check out all of the images I found that remind me of home.

For the past three years I have been working on a personal project Intended Consequences: Rwandan Children Born of Rape, collecting testimonies and photographing women that were brutally raped during the Rwandan Genocide and had a child as a result of those brutal encounters. I have photographed and interviewed forty families throughout Rwanda, learning first hand about the multiple levels of trauma these mothers are dealing with on a daily basis.

After my second trip to Rwanda, I knew that this would be a project I wanted to continue and would need substantial support in order to do so.  After applying  to the Getty Images Grant for Editorial Photography (for the second time) I was thrilled to learn I was awarded the $20,000 grant. It was instrumental in helping me to complete this undertaking and making sure I could work on the project with the freedom, depth and time necessary to do it the right way. I’m really grateful to Getty Images for creating this grant which enables documentary photographers to complete projects that often are hard to finance from mainstream media.

On March 5, 2009, the Intended Consequences exhibition launched at Aperture Gallery in New York , coinciding with the 15th year anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. Intended  Consequences will be in NY until May 5 and on April 29 a panel discussion will be held regarding my project at 6:30 PM.   I hope this exhibition will bring awareness to the forgotten consequences of sexual violence and genocide.

I have also co-founded Foundation Rwanda which supports secondary school education of children born of rapes committed during the Rwandan genocide in 1994.
