When I saw Ines Kembel walking down Westwood Blvd., I thought she and the silhouette on her shirt both looked glamorous--and that was before I saw the writing on the shirt. (Click the photo to see.) I asked if I could take a photo for DG, only to discover that I'd left my camera at home. So Ines sent me this one.
Ines says she loves the T-shirt because it features a woman of African descent who "wears her afro with pride" and "looks powerful and confident." I think it's that confidence, along with her good looks and the graphic contrast of positive and negative space, that makes her silhouette an emblem of glamour.
A singer-songwriter, Ines is looking for day job as an administrative assistant. She has a marketing background and knows five languages. (Ah, the Netherlands.) If you're in the market, check out her website or email her at ineskembel-at-gmail.com.
