Then & Now
I’ll never get tired of looking at that top photo for inspiration, and I’m not even a fan of spotted
fur coats! This model was shot in Isabel’s coat back in 2010, and here’s the updated version for
Fall. The main difference I can see are no visible buttons and a leopard print instead of a
cheetah one. Has anyone seen street style photos of this coat, I’m curious to see how
it translates in real life or “street style” life.
If I remember correctly, this picture was the most used in digital media that confirmed the death of the model Daul Kim http://sookyeong.wordpress.com/2009/11/20/20-year-old-model-daul-kim-is-dead/
Thanks for sending me this, I didn’t know she died. That’s very sad, and I hope my post isn’t viewed as insensitive in anyway. It’s a very powerful photo, and I can see why it was used a lot. – Aliya

Daul Kim, rest in peace, died in 2009. Even more tragic, she committed suicide. She was really a unique and beautiful model.
She was also only 20 years old.
Such a sad story. She was a beauty and that photo is very powerful and so it’s no surprise that you’re drawn to it.
