Inès Cross doesn’t overstate things. She researches, she edits, she looks. The rest follows.
As an editor at HTSI and a visual researcher, her eye was shaped long before working at a magazine. Summers in California, spent with her photographer godfather and painter godbrother, taught her how to see. One captured the world; the other reconstructed it. Between them, she absorbed composition, colour and learned how to observe.
Her visual referencing began accidentally, a private stash of images and people that caught her imagination. She shared them on Instagram. People responded. What emerged is an online nook of thought provoking and refreshing visuals. Her edit for The Salon extends that instinct: an eclectic "higgledy-piggledy" collection of objects that come together to form a coherent space to retreat to. There’s no heavy explanation. Just a sharp eye and a willingness to place things side by side.
