Nine Streets
For almost eight years, I focused on running my successful lifestyle shop, which combined contemporary womenswear with thoughtfully selected accessories, design items, and vintage pieces. Named after a bustling neighborhood in my native Amsterdam, below is a visual story of the little business I built: favorite brands, inspiring spots, and a peek at the behind-the-scenes, from scouting and sourcing to styling and shooting.
