American Dream    

For this Fall Fashion story, sisters Anne Menke, a photographer, and Andrea Menke, a stylist, cast an eclectic mix of entertainers and creatives pursuing the “American Dream”: making successful careers out of their greatest passions. Musicians, actresses, dancers, and stylists, along with fashion designer Norma Komali, Preacher the dog, and even a very young, pre-“Grey’s Anatomy” Justin Chambers, all embraced the red, white, and blue. Little did any of us know that the patriotic theme would ring especially true during the month the issue was on stands: September 2001.
