Inspiration Imagination Dedication - From Luki with Love Luki von der Gracht

Reading the foreword and first chapter of my favorite book for you:

Toni Morrison’s „The Bluest Eye“, a story about a young black girl who prays every day for beauty. Mocked by other children for the dark skin, curly hair and brown eyes that set her apart, she yearns for the blond hair and blue eyes that she believes will allow her to finally fit in.

Part 3: Some Of Us (Poem)

A conversation with Antwerp-based fashion photographer Renée Paule: 21, blonde and beautiful, she is one of the best dressed people I know. Renée is not afraid to dream big and is dedicated to hard work and getting better every day. We talk about her biggest idol (singer Dalida) and why water colors are essential for her beauty routine.

Renée Paule inspires me to be committed, confident and well-dressed.
