- Charles McGuigan
Lindsay Ess was at the top of her form, doing what she knew how to do best. Fashion was her passion. She breathed it; she lived it. Modeling. Photo shoots. Directing fashion shows. You name it, she did it. But something would change that, almost overnight. Something so radical that Lindsay would hover at death’s door and later emerge from the chrysalis of induced coma with part of her forever changed. Then extreme physical loss would follow, but out of it all she would gain rare insight into her own humanity and begin long conversations with the unknowable other.
For Lindsay Ess (That’s her real last name, E-S-S) it all started with dolls.
