Hey, today is Terry Richardson's birthday! To celebrate this special occasion, we asked his great friend André to say a few words about the legendary plaid-loving photographer and OC friend. Below, our own photo tribute to Terry with some suggested birthday gifts!
"I first met Terry when he had his exhibition at Galerie Perrotin in Paris in 1999. We met for the second time when he photographed me for Purple magazine. Terry was the only photographer who could almost get me naked for the cover! He is a dear friend and takes the best portraits. He captures people in a way that is always sexy and fresh. Happy birthday, Terry! I wish you a long life full of lots of love." — André
