FASHION CONFESSIONS: EMMA ARNOLD Streetstyle Photographer

Emma Arnold is the creative force behind the hugely popular street style blog, TRÉS AWESOME. The blog was started as a personal side project. Its main aim was to showcase the fabulous style of Chicago; a city often overlooked by the fashion community. Always obsessed with clothes and photography, TRÉS AWESOME allows Emma to indulge in both her passions. More importantly she hopes her blog gives people inspiration and even encourages them to experiment with their style and self-expression. This Über talented photographer has been published in New York Times, Elle, Time Out Chicago and even been featured on NBC news for Lollapalooza. My partner in crime at fashion events, Emma knows everyone who’s anyone in the Chicago fashion scene. Next month will be hitting NYFW together, trés excited!
