The Baroness "look" in "The Pilgrimage Issue" of the New York Times Magazine "Fashion of the Times" issue, Fall 2002


[The caption reads:] MY HEART BELONGS TO DADA. Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven never met an eggbeater she didn't wear. The actress Brittany Murphy channels the surreal flapper, and Rene Steinke tells her tale. Photographs by Jeff Riedel. Styled by Elizabeth Stewart.
