Photo Exclusive! Soul Doctor’s Amber Iman on Bringing Nina Simone to Life in Fabulous Frocks
"This is 'Emily,'" says Amber Iman. "She has a name because she is slightly temperamental and often does not do what I want her to do, but she's one of my favorite pieces to wear (so nice, I get to wear her twice). She makes me feel like a queen mother. Red is my favorite color, the fabric is gorgeous (especially the gold lining that you catch when I move and dance) and it makes a statement: The High Priestess is here! It's a duplication of a dress from a famous Nina portrait."
