Chhom Nimol is the singer of Los Angeles based Dengue Fever. With influences such as the Ventures, Charles Mingus, Blondie, and Os Mutantes, they have a retro sound that’s also really fun. This assignment was part of a series of artists and their collections. Nimol (as she is referred to) doesn’t speak a lot of English, but her manager pulled off the translation duties enough to help compose the shot with her vintage dress collection in the crowded hotel room.
