If you keep up with matters of the fashion world you probably already know Hailey Clauson. Though only 19, the SoCal girl has already built a seriously impressive portfolio, and it's only getting bigger. Looking through her work it's impossible not to notice her resemblance to 1960s French model Brigitte Bardot (she even did a Bardot-inspired shoot in 2012). But despite her fast rising star, Hailey remains true to the California girl she has always been, naming The Crystal Bibleas the book she thinks everyone should read—can you think of anything more SoCal than that? OK, maybe this from her weekend at Coachella.
