Patti Smith, New York City, 1977

She loved Vogue magazine, especially the French version. Even though she didn't have much money, she shopped at Henri Bendel, an exclusive store on Fifth Avenue. I remember a very expensive green coat that she wanted. She had to have it. It was pure silk. First thing she did when we got back to her apartment was stick the coat in the washing machine. She knew how to make the look completely hers. -- Lynn Goldsmith
