You’ve seen them walk the runway for top brands. You’ve seen their work on streetstyle stars and celebrities all over. Now, get an insider look at some of the chic-est private quarters that famous faces – Karl Lagerfeld, Ralph Lauren, Karlie Kloss and Gigi Hadid included – retire to at the end of a long day. By Jolaine Chua.
The luxe Parisian home of Karl Lagerfield is a full of alluring accents. Frosted glass walls, metallic chairs and ceiling-high windows are just some of the main elements in the designer’s minimalistic pad.

Ralph Lauren’s home is richly decorated with elaborate prints and artwork (top marks for comfort and style). From the mismatched couch cushions to the master bathroom complete with an en-suite marbled bath, it’s clear that the designer has a thing for classy touches. Fun fact: Besides this home, he also owns four other homes in places like Jamaica and Colorado.

You’ve seen her walk the runway for brands like Balmain and Chanel. But off the runway, it’s the US$2.45 million (approximately S$3.3 million) Manhattan apartment she calls home that is giving us serious interior decor envy.

The footwear designer’s apartment in Paris is nothing short of beautiful. One might think that mixing old and new elements in one space is pushing it too far, but he’s proved it to be a brilliant idea. Some of the show-stopping interior design features include an antique-looking bedpost, marble and mosaic tiles for the bathroom and mirrors dramatically framed with plush feathers.

For some of us, calling a hotel a home is just wishful thinking, but for Tommy Hilfiger, it’s reality. His four-bedroom penthouse in New York City’s Plaza Hotel stands at 5,655 sq ft (and is currently up for sale at a jaw-dropping US$6.95 million/S$8.7 million). Almost every room in the penthouse is based on a theme, from a retro bedroom to a nautical-inspired playroom and a Parisian balcony complete with checkered flooring and wrought iron furniture.

Sui’s runway pieces are big on patterns, and her home decor follows suit: Think quirky wallpaper, patterned glassware and even a curious taxidermied figure of a peacock perched on a cabinet. Her spaces are largely inspired by Victorian-esque interiors – just take a look at her classic kitchen cabinets with glass as its front panels.
