Description

What My Daughter Wore is Brooklyn artist Jenny Williams' original collection of intimate and playful drawings capturing the inspired, offbeat and whimsical sartorial choices of girls in the fleeting years between childhood and young adulthood. With her daughter Clementine as her original muse, but also inspired by her daughter's friends, Jenny depicts a unique moment in a girl's life, when self-expression and individuality trump trends and the impulse to conform.
