LOOKBOOK: ERIN KLEINBERG

Clothes for social butterflies.

In the age of Facebook and Flickr, there are some girls who always need a photo opp. 

That's good news for Erin Kleinberg, a 24-year-old Canadian whose look books have become something of a collectors item among certain social climbing cliques, thanks to their conspicuous models.  Instead of everyday mannequins (or even, in the case of Karl Lagerfeld or Marc Jacobs, famous ones), Kleinberg uses a certain kind of celebutante to front her delicate tanks and slouchy cardigans.

Last season, it was former NYLON cover girl (and Rolling Stones progeny) Theodora Richards; this time around, it's West Coast socialite (and Danielle Steele daugter / heiress) Vanessa Traina. 

The clothes compliment her perfectly - luxe but casual, loose fitting but expertly tailored.  It's the kind of attention to detail you'll need for a life lived in the spotlight - or at least the chance to dress like girls who've never known anything else.
