Style Icon: Liz Goldwyn

Fellow leopard print lover

I adore Liz Goldwyn's style, to me it is the perfect combination of quirky and vintage. And she reminds me of Corpse Bride, in a good way. Liz is the grand-daughter of good ol' movie mogul Samuel Goldwyn, her parents are Samuel Goldwyn Jr and actress Frances Howard. Liz is a film maker herself, having directed Pretty Things (2005) (documentary on 20th Century Burlesque) Underwater Ballet (2009)LA at Night (2009). She has worked on the photography and cataloguing of Marlene Dietrich estate as well as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (can I have that kind of work please?)

Liz has also written a book on burlesque Pretty Things, which is one of the many books I have on my Amazon list.
