Nathalie Joseph, left, and Christel Jean-Pierre were scouting locations for a photo shoot in Washington Square Park on a Saturday in December when they caught my eye with their layered head gear.
Ms. Joseph, a 19-year-old model, had a black scarf draped over her camouflage baseball hat. Ms. Jean-Pierre, a 21-year-old model and aspiring director, had a striped reddish-orange beanie that recalled a tiger’s coat peeking out from beneath a green ribbed balaclava.
“I enjoy playing with colors and textures that reflect both my personality and the energy of the moment,” Ms. Jean-Pierre said when asked about her style. Ms. Joseph described the scarf atop her hat as “the cherry on top” of her outfit — and a way to keep warm without earmuffs. “It completes my look,” she said.
