Jane Aldridge started her fashion blog in April 2007, when she was just 15 years old. The blog began as a hobby and a way to pass the time between studying for her SAT exams and slow-paced life in Trophy Club, Texas. Practically every frequenter of virtual style secretly idolizes Jane Aldridge and her site, Sea of Shoes. In addition to tons of shoes, the seventeen year old's closet is packed with vintage treasures and inspiring finds. The footwear lover is a major fan of shoes from Margiela, Prada, and Comme des Garçons among others. She currently about 90 pairs of shoes, her first being a pair of Prada sandals at the age of 15. Jane describes her foray into the designer shoe world as being "classic". Jane often shops with her mother, Judy Aldridge buying identical pieces and showing different takes on their purchases. Among her favourite shoe designers, Jane lists Givenchy, Dries van Noten and Marni. Jane has recently visited the Chanel haute couture house in Paris to be fitted for a gown for the 19th annual Crillon Ball in Paris on the 28th of November. The teen was recommended to attend the ball by Vogue. Jane's mother, Judy from Atlantis Home will also be attending the ball wearing a vintage Scaasi dress from the 80s. According to the March 2009 issue of TEEN VOGUE, Sea of Shoes draws up to 75,000 visitors per day. Sea of Shoes is visited and admired by Kanye West and designer Tory Burch. Jane Aldridge recently hired an assistant and as aspirations of attending New York's Fashion Institute of Technology. She also says that she will continue to "brand" herself and is currently deciding which direction she will be pursuing. Jane lists Ergo Schiele, de Kooning, Basquiat and Yoshimoto Nara as her favourite artists. She lists her Commes de Gacons. Martin Margiela, Dries van Noten and Rick Owens pieces as her favourite clothing. Jane also runs another blog called They don't call them lovers in high school leeland.

Judy Aldridge is the fashion and interior decorating blogger behind Atlantis Home, living in Trophy Club, Texas, with her daughters Carol and Jane Aldridge. Judy also runs another blog called Plastic Animal a Day. She recently attended the Chictopia 10 Social Influence Summit as a guest speaker, where she spoke alongside Rebecca of The Clothes Horse. Judy began her career as a model, while living in Tokyo for two years during the 1980s. She then returned to Dallas and pursued fashion design. During the late 1980s Judy Aldridge owned a store called Chiaroscuro, in the hip Deep Ellum area of Dallas. The store, which opened in 1987, was complete with a forties coca cola vending machine and a multi-colored floor with gold stars. Judy Aldridge first delved into fashion designing with her eco friendly label Atlantis Underground which was created in Dallas during the 90s and closed in 1992. Judy has recently revived her label under the name of Atlantis Dry Goods. After a divorce in 2002, Judy purchased a home in Trophy Club for her and her two daughters. She described the house as having 'cathedral ceilings' and a big gallery kitchen. "There were railings everywhere, like a country-Western bar; beige carpet; creepy, hideous ceiling fans with little flowers painted on them," Judy told Dallas News. Judy refurnished the home with a mix of Pottery Barn, vintage and designer pieces.


Hanneli Mustaparta started modelling after having been discovered at the age of 17, and was living in Paris, Milan, New York, London and Cape Town before semi-retiring from modelling in 2008.

Always having had a passion for photography and a keen eye for design and fashion, Hanneli started her fashion blog hanneli.com in early 2009. Showcasing streetstyle pictures that are often cutting edge, sometimes quirky, but always aesthethically pleasing, hanneli.com quickly became one of the must-see websites within the fashion and design world. So rapid was the ascent that Vogue US magazine named Hanneli one of the 9 most influential bloggers in the world in their February 2010 "Power issue", only 12 months after she started her blog.

Based on this, Hanneli is now also a regular contributor to Vogue and Vogue.com, and her images are frequently featured in fashion magazines across the world. She can often be spotted in New York snapping photos of people whose style and charisma stands out to her.

She divides her time between New York and Norway.
