LOVE & ARDOR: SHARON VAN ETTEN

For this issue, Nine Perfect Minutes Zoomed into Sharon Van Etten’s L.A. kitchen, where the former indie It Girl was waiting for her 8-year-old son to get home from school. Dressed in a boyish black T-shirt and skinny jeans, her hair wet from a shower, her face free of makeup, not even a slash of black eyeliner, it was Van Etten in her off-duty role as a mother and wife, rather proud of herself because she had just taken a face plate off her oven door to clean it.
