Portrait of a Lady: Mina Loy and Djuna Barnes (Special Double Edition)

Mina Loy and Djuna Barnes

She, a European of cosmopolitan repute engaged in writing, society, the arts and dressmaking.
She, an American of Brit extraction -- with cosmopolitan repute -- engaged in writing and letters, society, and
the art of causing a well-curated ripple of attention wherever she went.
Close friends, colleagues, and confidantes.
Two amazing women ahead of their time.
My style inspirations for the upcoming fall/winter season.









A silver Lucifer
serves
cocaine in cornucopia
To some somnambulists
of adolescent thighs
draped
in satirical draperies...
--Mina Loy, from her poem, Lunar Baedecker
