market seen: m quan

michele quan was one of my favorite models.

and then she pursued a career as a jewelry maker (i may always wish i'd invested in a particular 18k gold ring with a cascade of yellow sapphires that she, as part of me and ro, made.)

now independent of that collaboration, she is an artist (in a broader sense). her work has a spirit that i like very much. not sure there's much more to explain, except that it gives me a lift.

so you can imagine how excited i was to see her at the union square market on my way to work.

she still has the coolest hair....
