North Light

Rooms that face north get the same light all day: even, soft and forgiving. It is the light we photograph clothes in, and the light we would like every wardrobe to live in.

A light wooden clothes rail holding a few coats and knits in a bare white room, daylight from a tall window on the left.

Folded linen on a wooden table beneath a tall window, a square of sunlight across the cloth.

Seen through a doorway, a narrow white room with a steel rail holding five pieces: a cream knit, a gray knit, two white shirts and a navy shirt.

A young woman with short natural hair stands by a tall window and looks back over her shoulder, in a long taupe wool coat over a white shirt and wide ecru trousers.

Three folded sweaters in ecru, oatmeal and moss green stacked on a white windowsill, a bare branch against the glass.
