"This is my beautiful mom, Lucy (short for Maria de la Luz), born 60 years ago in Mexico City. She was in law school when she met my dad, a physics student from Pakistan. They fell in love, married and settled near Frankfurt, Germany. These photos, taken mostly in the early 80's, show my mother's incredible sense of style, a modern mix of simplicity and class that came completely natural to her. She did not shy away from making a fashion statement, either: whether it was a pair of shock-pink trousers, dramatic Jackie O shades, a big fruity brooch on a pinstriped tailored suit, or just looking fierce in mad sleeveless nylon overalls, she always added an extra touch that took her from being merely chic to being truly in vogue. 30 years later, my mother is still gorgeous, fit and full of energy... a real model of elegance."
