You will be inspired by this book created by mother-daughter team Elisa Goodkind and Lily Mandelbaum. The women bring us into the home s— and more importantly the closets—of the most stylish people on the streets of New York, Los Angeles, London, and more! The book gives a behind-the-scenes look at people who march to the beat of their own, very chic, drummer. Often spending up to three hours with the most daring and original dressers they can find, Stylelikeu photographs each fashionable person in several different looks of the subject's choosing. To probe deeper into each subjects' personal style, the mother-daughter team conducts intimate interviews on their ambitions, influences, and dreams, making each portrait so much more than yet another street photograph.
A few of the 1000+ comments left by fans of the Stylelikeu website: “Was just talking about how he NEEDED to be on this site. So amazing.” “I find her absolutely mesmerizing. She is so full of life and charm. She has a wonderfully contagious spirit. She is such an inspiration and I would love to be like her someday.” “I love that you guys feature such a diverse group of people—all ages, races, sizes, budgets. It shows how everyone can have style.” “I don’t have any words to describe how amazing those two girls are! They are the true inspiration for all the girls in this entire universe!”
