<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://sarahleora.com/sl/">Sarah Leora</a> is a budding East Hampton-based fashion designer whom I discovered last night on <a href="http://www.fallonelizabeth.com">tumblr</a>. She also happens to make rad <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SarahLeoraa?section_id=10659704">zines</a> based on her favorite movies and persons of interest.&nbsp;Oh, and did I mention that she&rsquo;s still in high school?! When I emailed Sarah last night to gush about how much I adored her drawings, she asked if I had any suggestions as to what movie/person her next zine should depict. My initial thoughts were <em>Roman Holiday</em> and <em>Annie Hall</em>, but I know you all can come up with something way more creative. What do you think? (PS!

Yenny Seo of <a href="http://www.studdedhearts.blogspot.com/">Studded Hearts</a> blogged about this rest - you definitely need to see it.
