I couldn’t resist putting all of A.J. (real name Kyciana) up today. I first photographed her a few months ago. There are always so many well-dressed young people running around in the Loop during fall because of all the college campuses. At first I didn’t recognize A.J. because she had changed her hair. All I saw was her incredibly cool outfit and killer Dr. Martens. When I ran up to her and started giving my spiel, she said “Amy, it’s me! A.J.!” That I hadn’t recognized her actually made her more excited to be spotted a second time, because it was based soley on the merits of her look. A.J. uses fashion in such interesting ways. In her own words, “it’s all about that swag.”
