Lotta Jansdotter – författare

Photographed over the course of a year in New York, Tennessee, India, and Sweden and organised by season, Jansdotter shares her sources of inspiration and how she and her friends mix and match her key pieces while working, playing, resting, and travelling. Lotta Jansdotter’s Everyday Style brings Jansdotter’s infectious and sought-after sense of style to new followers and longtime devotees alike.
