The Label To Know Now
“I discovered Mafalda von Hessen on a recent trip to San Francisco. (The two-year-old brand by the German princess of the same name does elegant, military-tinged clothes meant to take one from the country to the city.)”
Go-To Shopping Haunts
“Rachel Comey in Soho for jeans, Matches Fashion in London for up-and-coming designers, Fivestory on 69th Street (in New York’s Upper East Side) for caftans, and Barneys for shoes.”
Her Wardrobe Perennials
“Rosie Assoulin pants and Chanel shoes.”
Signature Scent
“Byredo’s Rose Of No Man’s Land (with spicy and oriental notes like pink pepper, Turkish rose and papyrus)… I walked into the store on Wooster Street, smelled every fragrance, and decided that this would be my scent.”
Must-Visit Museum
“New York’s Guggenheim. It’s where I discovered one of my favourite names in art: Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan.”
An Artist She’s Into
“UK-based Zoe Buckman, who works with a lot of neons. My favourite piece is a neon diagram of a uterus with boxing gloves – it reminds me that that’s where female strength lies.”
A Book To Know
“South and West, the new book by American literary icon Joan Didion that contains two new excerpts from her private diary.”
Favourite Song Of All Time
“No Scrubs by TLC, the original, female empowerment group.”
