Every once in a while there’s a woman popping up that triggers a story. I have these girl crushes on women who are great inspiration for characters. She can be a writer, an artist, my neighbour, the woman who reads the news. Today I fell for style. It is not just the clothes, it is what she tells with it. Looks can speak books, they say in Dutch.

The muse of the moment is this beautiful rabbit-in-the-headlight kind of woman with fabulous style, Sarah Lihn-Tran, a fashion designer who works together with her partner Christophe Lemaire.
