Tomboy Style: Beyond the Boundaries of Fashion
A bound visual history that chronicles the past eighty years of women who blur the line between masculinity and femininity, Tomboy Style explores the evolution of the style and its icons. Vivid commentary illuminates the tomboy's history and captures a diversity of women who are bound together by their inherent ability to seamlessly blend a rugged sensibility with classic, understated elegance.
Tomboy Style is a photo-driven daily blog dedicated to exploring and defining the tomboy. It is a digital inspiration board for the forthcoming book being published in Spring of 2012 by Rizzoli.
DESIGNwatcher.com was started in 2006 as a lighthearted blog dedicated to featuring trends in design, whether through product, shopping, fashion, art, or food and also includes videos and personal entries. In 2007 it was featured as one of Blogger's "Blogs of Note". As of August of 2011, DESIGNwatcher.com has been put on hold.
