I first heard of Krystal Scott this summer, when an intern suggested her for another segment. Her prominent jawline and sharp cheekbones stood out right away. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to connect with Krystal that time, but her name came up again when I sat down with photographer, Andy Santiago during our first in-person encounter. Sidebar: linked through Twitter, found out he went to school with two of my cousins and knew all my old friends! The world is dead small! I asked him who do you think we should feature in our new street style segment and he immediately suggested Krystal. This had to be destiny! Fast forward to now and Krystal is our second feature; it was also shot by Andy ?
