Bella Newman has always loved men's clothing. As a photographer, she finds immense value in comfort, which menswear helps her achieve: “I associate it with the freedom to move and it was intro-ed into my life out of necessity. The pieces become staples because they’re coincidental.” We sent her a package full of our new fall HG tailoring pieces to test drive, and the resulting images capture a sense of style that’s at once classic and rebellious—clearly her ideal sweet spot. “My Hommegirl hero? Marlene Dietrich <3”
