She has definitely come a long way since I first saw her in KIDS as a troubled young girl with AIDS. Now on the HBO series BIG LOVE ( second season premiers June 17, 2007 ), it is clear her career has flourished over the years. Another consistant evolution has been in her unique and under-the-radar sense of style. She somehow always manages to create a look that is just slightly hipper than the pulse of what is going on in the fashion scene she relishes in. I have more than once asked myself, who is inspiring who? Are the designers inspiring her looks? Or is she inspiring theirs? Whether she is choosing it well, or wearing it well, it matters not. Her true BIG LOVE for fashion, shows. It seems she has remained humble in her success, still favoring that special vintage find: “I still prefer to buy vintage over spending it all on one designer,” she expressed to the Times. “My mother encourages me to spend a little,” she said. “It still feels weird. Even now I never live beyond my means. I’ve never been that girl. I mean, I have a Christian Dior mink poncho. But I didn’t buy it.” Mixing vintage pieces with modern couture is the perfect marriage of style and iconography.
