Tell us about a memorable fashion purchase. “When I was 15, I thought I was the Lebanese Stevie Nicks, and I bought a white linen bohemian dress with a skirt like a ball gown. It was at a gig, in this dress, that I got my first boyfriend—a guy named Julian that I’d had a crush on for two years. He was onstage singing ‘One’ by U2, and I was in the dress. It sealed the deal.” FEBRUARY 2015

R
eaders, with the launch of this groundbreaking cover, I’m expecting some fashion purists to be clutching their pearls in horror. Bloggers?! On a cover?! What is this mad, mad world coming to? Yes, it’s a first for a major U.S. magazine—but then again, Lucky is all about firsts. We’re the first-ever magazine to be solely about shopping (I love a long read about the environmental impact of graphene as much as the next girl, but there’s one for that already. I’m looking at you, The New Yorker) and the first to feature our own editors modeling their picks of the season (now a trope for pretty much every glossy in the galaxy). So, the fact that we’re the first to embrace this new generation of style setters should be no surprise, especially since their spirit is so in line with Lucky’s. The 14 people who actually read this editor’s letter each month know that I’m very gung ho about the democratic fashion age we’re living in. Thanks to social media, there’s a window into the design world these days that just didn’t exist 10 years ago—both because of technological
limitations and because of antiquated attitudes about exclusivity. Chiara, Nicole and Zanita are three new faces that I followed on Instagram long before we met in person. Collectively, their Instagram following is about four million—larger than the population of Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island combined, in case you were wondering. Yes, they look amazing in clothes from Chanel and Cartier to Topshop and H&M. But more important, they and their peers are breathing life into the industry, launching small designers, bringing fresh eyes to existing brands and having a one-on-one dialogue with their readers. There’s an energy and an excitement to what they’re doing: the same kind of energy and excitement our editors have for the fashion and beauty within our pages. So elevating them to cover status makes total sense; in my mind, it’s just one more first for us. Here’s to your own changes, big and small,

WHO’S THAT GIRL?

Dear Lucky
STYLE Q&A Resident know-it-all Jean Godfrey-June answers your pressing fashion and beauty questions.
Stealth warmth: the spring-colored jacket as worn by street style stars Leandra Medine, Harley Viera-Newton and Atlanta de Cadenet Taylor.
What do I wear this spring when it’s not freezing but not warm yet either? —Danielle 18 LUCKYMAG.COM
Dear Danielle, Jumping the gun on the next season is the ultimate mark of a person who loves fashion; wear your uncompromising enthusiasm with utter pride. DJ/model/all-around fashion phenom Harley Viera-Newton (above, center) is just such a person. “I unfortunately ‘feel spring’ pretty much year-round,” she laughs. Her solution, she says, is almost invariably a “fun-colored” coat. “Pastel coats—I have a fuzzy baby blue one and a new baby pink one—are the way to stay warm but not give in to winter. And once I ditch the scarf/hat/tights, they’re great transitional pieces.” The spring runways were jammed with gingham, which Harley has always had a penchant for. “On a colder day, I’d pair little checked dresses and sweaters with tights and boots, which I love because it takes a really girly print and dresses it down.” Lastly, Harley adores a trench. “You can throw it over jeans or dresses with flats or heels, and it’s always the perfect weight for transitional weather.” The newest trench in town, slim in all the right places and alluringly supple, is at le-trench.com; Harley went more neutral than usual and chose one in a gorgeous textured black.

I loved the statement earrings at shows like Prada and Vuitton. How do I style them? —Analise
A
Dear Analise, The new statement necklace, it seems, is the earring—the major earring. So, first of all: No necklaces, statement or otherwise, says Lucky accessories editor Melissa Lum. And avoid anything that hints at evening. “No open necklines,” says Melissa. “The combination is too nighttime. For the same reason, keep your makeup and hair totally simple.” The style-advanced can even wear two different earrings. “It’s a thing!” says Melissa. “If you’re not feeling so daring, just do two mismatched studs—it’s cool either way!”

Dear Brooke, Routine, routine, routine. Acne—from the tiniest breakout to the most major—is a chronic condition. So whatever it is that got you to that clear skin, you have to keep doing. This is why systems like Proactiv work so well; if you’ve got a program, you’re more likely to stick to it. The perfect regime is as gentle as possible while still being effective: Irritated skin is more susceptible to acne, so harsh products can actually make it worse. Salicylic acid, which kills acne bacteria and exfoliates the dead skin cells that clog pores, also decreases inflammation (salicylic acid, a.k.a. willow bark, a.k.a. … aspirin!). Yes To Tomatoes acne wipes are made with it and they rule. Benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria but can irritate skin and defeat the purpose. Glytone makes a fantastic timerelease cream that really protects skin. A dermatologist can prescribe a retinoid like Tazorac, blue-light lasers, birth control pills or Accutane, depending on the severity of the problem. Do not suffer! Treat! You absolutely can improve your skin, I promise.

Camo print, cargo pockets and lots of olive green— this season’s utilitarian pieces have nothing to do with blending in. FROM SLOUCHY KHAKI JUMPSUITS AT Sonia Rykiel to belted, paratrooperinspired ball gowns at Ralph Lauren to spruce-hued shirtdresses with oversize pockets at Sacai, the spring runways were full of pared-down military looks with an unexpected feminine playfulness. “It’s great to see the evolution of a practical print like camo—it’s come a

long way,” says Harvey Faircloth creative director Christopher Rivers. His latest collection combines everyday silhouettes with soldierly details. Twotone blazers with simple epaulets have an elevated tomboy look; pencil skirts in traditional camouflage are ladylike with an edge. And the coolest way to wear the trend, according to Rivers? With staples you already own. “The designs feel most modern when paired with true classics, like a striped sailor tee, a solid oxford shirt, your favorite cashmere pullover or even a tattered, well-worn sweatshirt,” he says. Forward, march! —Jenna Gottlieb

Meet the Designer It’s no surprise Yasmin Sewell has a lot to say about T-shirts—after all, she helped design many featured in this story. As one of four founders behind European line Être Cécile, Sewell understands the tee’s versatility better than almost anyone: “Wear a slouchy one with boyish, ’90s-style jeans and menswearinspired flats for a grungegirl look,” she says. “Or let a printed version stand out against an elegant skirt and a pair of pumps for the office.” Like Sewell, a fashion consultant, creative director and mother, it’s the ultimate multi-tasker. —Jayna Maleri

THE HUNGARIAN BRAND IS MAKING A NAME FOR ITSELF WITH RELAXED SILHOUETTES IN THE ABSOLUTE DREAMIEST PALETTE. For her latest collection, Budapest-based Nanushka designer Sandra Sandor took a trip to Oz—figuratively, at least. “I looked to the novel Mutant Message Down Under, by Marlo Morgan,” she says. “It’s a spiritual odyssey through the Australian outback, and it inspired me to use the natural colors and lush textures of that landscape.” The end result is a mix of drop-shoulder turtlenecks, softly flared miniskirts and mesh tees in sumptuous shades of cantaloupe, khaki and dusty rose. The pieces strike a perfect balance between laid-back and sophisticated, which is precisely Sandor’s intention. “It’s a combination of playful cuts and timeless shapes,” she says. “They’re clothes that make you feel quietly elegant and at home wherever you are.” —Jayna Maleri See more of Nanushka’s designs on Lucky’s tablet edition: luckymag.com/digital-edition.

With her androgynous beauty, DGAF attitude and ability to make anything look edgy, it’s easy to see why Leona “Binx” Walton has become one of the industry’s most sought-after up-and-comers since her 2013 New York Fashion Week debut. With campaigns for Coach and Chanel under her belt as well as countless runway shows, including Marc Jacobs, Saint Laurent and Kenzo, the 18-yearold Tennessee native has had quite a couple of years. And she’s not afraid to celebrate a job well done. “My favorite part of fashion week is seeing all my friends,” she says. “And getting to party with them around the world.” —Jayna Maleri

The modular toppers—from shrunken dropped-shoulder blazers in Italian wool to twill parkas with removable fur lining—reference famous structures and the materials used to build them. “Our leather moto’s channeled sleeves were inspired by the Rainier Tower in Seattle,” says Johnson. “Every piece tells a story.” —Jenna Gottlieb

LTERNATIVE HAS ACHIEVED THE seemingly impossible: turned a triedand-true comfort item into something that actually steps up your outfit game. Made from lightweight fleece, the L.A.-based label’s unisex hoodie combines the softness of your well-worn high school version with an ultraflattering cut. “It’s fitted through the arms and torso, so it doesn’t add bulk like most sweatshirts do,” says Lucky senior associate market editor Noelle Sciacca. The style, which has been spotted on everyone from Jennifer Lawrence to Kanye West and comes in a range of solids like muted charcoal and brick red, is the easiest way to layer on some off-duty cool. “Wear one under a tailored menswear-inspired coat so the slouchy hood peeks out,” says Sciacca. Of course, you can also pair it with your favorite lounge pants and let it do what sweatshirts do best: keep you completely cozy while you relax on the couch. —Jenna Gottlieb

At Jason Wu, makeup artist Diane Kendal smoothed Lancôme Absolue L’Extrait serum onto models’ skin before adding a bit of Nude Miracle foundation. At Marc Jacobs, makeup artist François Nars sent models down the runway without makeup, period. Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury created the radiant complexions at Donna Karan using only MAC concealer and her own Magic Cream, a dewifying, antiaging, priming moisturizer that instantly Valenciafilters your face. It’s just one of a new generation of products blurring the line between skincare and makeup: translucent tinted moisturizers, highlighting lotions, pore-disguising creams, lip-and-cheek balms, all infused with nourishing ingredients to treat skin instead of covering it up. “The chicest look in the world is a woman dressed to the nines with just fresh, clean skin,” says makeup artist and Shiseido artistic director Dick Page. The trick, he says, is keeping the product you’re using as sheer as possible. “I love when the makeup is transparent, so you can see skin underneath.

THE BEAUTY CLOSET Beauty editor JEAN GODFREY-JUNE and her coworkers find themselves in the grip of an especially intense hair craze.
Chantecaille Lip Chic in Calla Lily, $36, chantecaille .com
There is sheerness and there is there-ness with a lip item. You want a hint, a bit, a something-not-nothing. This balmy, vanillascented Chantecaille is just the perfect balance. It’s very French girl. (The Chantecailles—mère et filles—may well be the ultimate French girls, their Frenchness amplified by the fact that they live in America, swanning nonchalantly through Soho, East Hampton, et al.) You could wear it with your striped shirt and motorcycle jacket on your way to the Marais, or you could wear it for your wedding in a tiny chapel in Èze. You could also swipe it on, as I do, without looking, before rushing into the meeting you forgot was happening.
Office crazes at Lucky are hilarious. Suddenly last spring everyone was dyeing their hair platinum—more accurately, frying their hair platinum. I think at one point there were 11 Lucky operatives, all with bright white heads. Only a few holdouts remain; it is the rare dedicant who stays platinum for long. But what did stick: this ultra-gentle, creamy-not-sudsy cleanser that leaves hair unbelievably soft (without being flat, a rare trick). Non-platinums began trying Perfect it. Boyfriends nabbed it, attracted Purely Cleansing Creme, $40, by the only-one-step. Now it’s all anyone wants to discuss, no matter hairstory.com where I go. I send them to the website, not just for the cleansing cream but for the photos of real people getting incredible haircuts at the brand’s New York studio, Hairstory. Seriously, if you’re thinking of cutting your hair, you must look. And if you’re thinking of washing your hair, you must try. 64 LUCKYMAG.COM
You eat a delicious spicy food and you’re in heaven—but you’re in hell. You need a refuge, an embrace! Just for a second. A sip of something helps, but the ultimate is a steamy pinch of rice. If only for that reason, rice is the ultimate comfort food. Add in the whole rice-pudding aspect, and I had to open this jar of Imperial Rice scrub the second I received it. I worried that the scent of rice would be repulsive in beauty-product form; I also worried that it would not smell enough of rice … I did not know what I wished for, but I wished for it fervently. All I can say is, all to whom the concept appeals will love this scrub. It really smells like rice—in the best way possible—with an inspired touch of sweet almond. In the shower, it feels silky and light, smells even more fantastic than it does in the jar and leaves your skin smoother than smooth. Supremely, improbably comforting.

THE UNDER $500 ISSUE Looking good is about so much more than spending a fortune. That’s why everything within these pages costs less than $500 (and, not only that, is unbelievably chic). There’s the colorful, feminine mix in NEW GIRLS, featuring cover stars and superbloggers Chiara Ferragni, Nicole Warne and Zanita Whittington. “They were game to wear pretty much anything,” says stylist Karina Givargisoff. “I chose things that felt very true to their individual personalities.” The indigo and sky-hued looks modeled by actress Bella Heathcote in BLUE NOTE are a bit more tomboy—but no less stunning. “I used a lot of layering and kept the shirts buttoned up for a slightly masculine, uniform vibe,” says stylist Kathryn Neale. Things take a relaxed turn in VILLAGE VOICE, which showcases designer Kaelen Haworth in her downtown New York loft. “Kaelen’s apartment is a reflection of who she is,” says stylist Grace Koo, who put together the story’s cozy, pared-down outfits. “Her home and wardrobe are both eclectic and all about ease.” FEBRUARY 2015

F
ive years ago, the scene between shows at Paris Fashion Week looked something like this: magazine editors chatting about the best cures for jet lag, the occasional celebrity showing love for her favorite designer in a head-to-toe ensemble and models scurrying from one runway to the next. What a difference a few years makes. These days in the Tuileries, it’s a well-dressed circus. Swarms of street style photographers eagerly await the arrival of a new brand of attendee known as the blogger. Among the most buzz-worthy of the bunch are Chiara Ferragni, Nicole Warne and Zanita Whittington. With their respective sites— The Blonde Salad, Gary Pepper Girl and Zanita—these women are leading the pack as both style icons and entrepreneurs. “We don’t just blog—we do so many different things,” says Ferragni. She, Warne and Whittington have turned what began as side projects into full-fledged businesses. Among the three of them, they’ve done everything from modeling for Lancôme (Warne), to shooting a campaign for Louis Vuitton (Whittington) to writing a book (Ferragni). And there’s even more on the horizon. We photographed all three women, fittingly between Paris fashion shows, and chatted with them to find out about how it all began—and where it’s all going. continued …

CHIARA FERRAGNI
You know how every group of girlfriends has a historian—someone who whips out her camera phone at a moment’s notice, demands that everyone “SMILE!” and posts the shots on various social media channels practically within the hour? Well, as a college student in Milan, Chiara Ferragni was that girl. Only, it was circa 2007, her weapon of choice was a pocket-size digital camera and Instagram was just a twinkle in the tech industry’s eye. “I used to take pictures of everything I was doing. It was like my diary,” says Ferragni, 27, who would upload her images onto Flickr. That was the beginning of what would become The Blonde Salad, Ferragni’s personal style blog, which today has garnered over 600,000 unique monthly visits, given Ferragni international style-star status and spawned countless designer collaborations as well as her own shoe line. But back then, Ferragni (who grew up outside Milan) was studying international law and viewed fashion as strictly a hobby, albeit a growing one. She eventually ditched Flickr and began blogging as The Blonde Salad. “I came up with the name over lunch with a few friends. We were throwing a bunch of different words together, and I just liked the sound of it. Plus, I loved the concept
of my site being a mix of all of these ingredients—my trips, my clothes, my friends—like a salad,” she says. The Blonde Salad, featuring photos of Ferragni in edgy-glam outfits (complete with her trademark bouncy golden hair), officially launched in October 2009 and immediately began to gain traction. “I was writing in Italian and English because I wanted to appeal to everyone from everywhere. That helped me to get a following right away,” she says. The timing was also serendipitous, as bloggers like Tavi Gevinson and Bryanboy began appearing in the front rows during New York Fashion Week’s spring/summer 2010 shows. “Everyone was talking about them—and once Milan Fashion Week kicked off, my name started to be mentioned because I was one of the only Milanese bloggers around,” says Ferragni. From there, various fashion brands began reaching out with collaboration proposals. “I was 23, and I said no a lot, which was scary,” she says. “Turns out, being very selective was one of my best moves, because it led me to be able to work with some amazing designers.” Those labels include Nike, Chanel and Calvin Klein. Yet the crown jewel of The Blonde Salad empire is the company’s eponymous shoe line. “We started with one style, which we sold locally in Italy. It did very well, so we thought, Wow, we can actually make money off of this. We found investors and launched with a full collection last winter,” she says. As the label’s creative director, Ferragni, in true form, constantly brings new ideas to the table. “I was dying to do slippers with eyes where one is winking and one is open,” she says. “I want the styles to be cool but always a little bit funny.” This year, TBS is slated to generate over $8 million, with the shoe line contributing up to 70 percent of all earnings. “It’s my main focus, and I just want it to keep getting bigger and bigger,” says Ferragni. We’ll wink to that. —Jenna Gottlieb
Ferragni changes her outfit up to four times a day during fashion week.

NICOLE WARNE
She’s always had a love for fashion and design, but Nicole Warne dreamed of a different kind of career as a child growing up in western Australia. “I wanted to be an astronomer,” she says with a laugh, “but I took biology and hated it, so that was the end of that.” Although Warne, 26, didn’t become a professional stargazer, these days she has an arguably cooler job: actual star. In 2009, Warne began building a devoted following through her eBay store and accompanying blog, Gary Pepper Vintage, which grew out of her passion—and keen eye—for vintage clothing. “When I was in seventh grade my family moved, and I struggled a bit at my new school,” she admits. “That experience is what got me started wearing vintage. I discovered I could express myself through what I wore, and no one could replicate it because often the pieces were one of a kind. It made me realize that not fitting in doesn’t have to be a bad thing.” The store was a true labor of love for Warne, who oversaw every aspect of the business. “At first I sourced everything myself,” she says. “I’d go to my local thrift shops, markets and garage sales and handpick each item. It was my hobby—my time to myself—and I actually found it quite therapeutic.” It was also an instant success. 72 LUCKYMAG.COM
“When I started, I was juggling a full-time retail job, night classes at a local college and internships at Grazia and Harper’s Bazaar Australia,” she says. “But after two months, Gary Pepper’s customer base was growing so quickly that I had to stop everything else and concentrate entirely on the store.” Within a year, Warne had transitioned from eBay to her own e-commerce site, becoming one of the largest online vintage retailers in Australia in the process. But as lucrative as the store was, Warne felt that by narrowing her focus, she wasn’t able to give the site’s blog the attention she wanted. “I felt like I was missing a lot of opportunities,” she explains. So in 2012, she made the decision to close Gary Pepper Vintage and to relaunch her blog as Gary Pepper Girl. It’s clear that Warne made a smart choice. With over a million Instagram followers, mentions in countless fashion magazines and partnerships with brands like Louis Vuitton and L’Oréal Luxe, she has become a bona fide It Girl, known for her quirky-feminine street style and enviable ability to apply the perfect winged cateye. It’s a level of success she still can’t always believe. “The first time a luxury brand reached out to me about working together, I was in total shock,” she says. “I definitely considered writing back to ask if they had made a mistake.” Amazed as she may be with her fame, Warne also knows how to use it, not just for herself but to help others get noticed as well. “When I travel for fashion week, I make a point to wear Australian designers as much as possible, to show my support,” she says. “I’m really into Toni Maticevski lately; he suits my aesthetic. And I love Karla Spetic; she’s a bit more up and coming, and her clothes are very on brand for Gary Pepper Girl.” Spoken like a true professional. —Jayna Maleri

“I think part of my appeal is that I have this story of perseverance— of being awful and getting better.”
ZANITA WHITTINGTON
Though she grew up half a world away from the style capitals of New York and Paris, Zanita Whittington got her first taste of the fashion industry at an early age. “I entered a modeling contest in Perth when I was 15,” says Whittington, 28, who was raised an eight-hour drive southeast, on a farm in rural Australia. “As a kid, I always loved magazines, but it was kind of a secret interest because I didn’t know anyone else who cared about clothes. Becoming a model was my version of growing up into a princess.” Though the contest went well and a call-back was requested, geography got in the way. “They liked me and asked me to come back the next day, but I couldn’t because my mom didn’t want to drive the 400 miles again,” she says. Luckily that wasn’t the end of her career. Three years later, Whittington returned to Perth to attend university, but ended up leaving school at age 18 to sign with a local modeling agency. She quickly learned that the business wasn’t the fairy tale she had dreamed of and struggled with the demands of working in high fashion. “I started accepting more commercial jobs, which boosted my confidence because it meant I didn’t have to fit into tiny sample sizes—plus the work paid better and freed up my schedule,” she says. With her newfound downtime, she spent more hours online, where she
discovered blogs like Rumi Neely’s Fashion Toast and her now close friend Chiara Ferragni’s The Blonde Salad. “I found this community that I wanted to be a part of,” she says. That desire led her to launch her own eponymous blog in 2008, where she began posting pictures of herself in colorful, irreverent outfits. “It was all very homegrown,” she says. “I’m a completely self-taught photographer, so my shots were pretty terrible in the beginning. I would balance my camera on a chair and then run around and snap one picture at a time. I have all of these old photos of me jumping.” As her readership increased, Whittington decided to invest more time and money into improving the aesthetic of her site—a move that paid off. Armed with a brand-new camera, which she purchased almost a year to the day after her blog debuted, Whittington saw her popularity grow alongside her skills. “I think part of my appeal is that I have this story of perseverance … of being awful and getting better,” she says. That, plus an undeniably playful wardrobe and easy smile. It’s a mix that has made her irresistible to potential collaborators. “I’ve been presented with so many great opportunities by some amazing brands,” says Whittington, whose past projects have included shooting campaigns for companies ranging from swimwear line We Are Handsome to Mango. And for her latest venture, she tried something completely new: television. As a cast member of the Australian reality series Fashion Blogger (which premiered last October), Whittington appeared alongside fellow Aussie style stars and had every moment caught on film. “It’s about our day to day,” she says. “So I’ve been filmed in my PJ’s and without makeup.” But to Whittington, showing the slightly less glamorous side is something she’s refreshingly comfortable with: “I’m down with making mistakes and looking a bit silly,” she says. —J.G.
Bold stripes in graphic black and white perfectly encapsulate Whittington’s daring style.

Meet Bella Don’t get accustomed to seeing Bella Heathcote traipsing around London in collared dresses and mod minis. For one, Heathcote—whom you may recognize from Dark Shadows—is from Melbourne, Australia. (She now resides in L.A., as buzzy young actresses are apt to do.) And second, the next time you set eyes on her, she’ll be donning Regencyera attire and hunting the undead in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s deliciously macabre mashup novel (based on the Jane Austen classic). “The costumes are essentially period, with adjustments made for horseback riding, fight scenes and, hysterically, kung fu,” says Heathcote, who endured two and a half months of physical training to take on the role of eldest sister Jane Bennet. When she wasn’t corseted up for filming, she kept it simple. “I like a uniform,” she says, “boots, T-shirts—pieces that are a little masculine.” But even a no-fuss girl who praises cardigans from Country Road, the Aussie chain store, has her breaking point. Her souvenir from this London trip? “Burgundy, lowheeled Nicholas Kirkwood shoes,” she admits. We can totally sympathize. —Laura Morgan

VILLAGE VOICE
Designer Kaelen Haworth’s downtown loft is cozy, comfortable and coolly eclectic. PHOTOGRAPHED BY ABBEY DRUCKER FASHION BY GRACE KOO
S
ome people cast a wide net when searching for apartments in New York City. Kaelen Haworth is not one of them. “I knew I wanted to live in a very particular corner of the East Village,” says the Toronto native and founder of an eponymous clothing line. She began the hunt for her dream home in 2010: “I gave the real estate agent a tiny six-block area to work with.” And her specificity paid off. In May of 2011, Haworth—along with her husband, Simon, and their French bulldog, Lola—moved into a condo on a tree-lined block of East Second Street, smack-dab in the middle of her chosen radius. “It’s kind of the best of all worlds. We’re in the East Village but also on the cusp of Noho and the Lower East Side,” she says. The building—a five-story former parking garage that was converted into lofts—also had the right fuss-free look. “The facade fits right into the neighborhood: It’s unassuming, there’s no doorman and our planters get graffitied, which I actually think looks cool.” The downtown vibe extends to the apartment’s airy, industrial interior. “It has that real New York sensibility we were looking for, with details like exposed brick and wood floors,” she says. But it was a single room that really sealed the deal. “The continued …

“We’re very much collectors, though that might be a nice way of saying ‘hoarders.’”
kitchen is such a stellar space,” says Haworth, who is an avid cook (soups are a specialty). “When I first saw it, I was like, Okay, I don’t even need to see the rest.” To make up for the room’s one catch—a shortage of extra storage—Simon built a suspended wineglass holder out of wooden shipping pallets he found around the neighborhood. The pair also installed a hanging pot rack and reclaimed-wood wine shelves from Murron’s Cabinetree (an Ontario interiors shop owned by Haworth’s father). Today, the space is the undisputed nucleus of the home. “We’ll have people over, and even if I put appetizers out in another area, everyone always ends up sitting on the kitchen counters. I’ll be making food and shoving people out of my way,” says Haworth. The kitchen opens up into the living room, where a cloud gray, L-shaped couch sits amid more bohemian finds. There’s an electric fireplace (one of Lola’s favorite winter warm-up spots), also from her father’s store, cheerfully cluttered bookshelves built by Simon and a ’60s-inspired bar cart from Nolita shop Area ID. “We’re very much collectors, though that might be a nice
way of saying ‘hoarders,’ ” says Haworth with a smile. “But I love those kinds of odds and ends—they add a sense of coziness.” On the wall hangs a neon pink sign that reads kaelen loves simon—a second-wedding-anniversary gift from Haworth to her husband. “We turn it on for dinner parties, and it bathes the entire apartment in a rosy glow,” she says. An amped-up palette also plays into her clothing line. The label, which launched in 2010 and offers relaxed-minimalist staples, headed in a slightly brighter direction last fall. “I introduced a lot of color, which is something really different for me,” says Haworth. Standouts included boxy jackets and twopieces in bold crimson mohair. “I came across that fabric when I first started creating the collection, and I knew I had to have it,” says Haworth. Something else she had to have? The right bed frame. “I found one at the furniture store Environment that I knew would work perfectly—especially because it’s low enough for Lola to hop onto,” she says. “That’s basically our decorating philosophy. We ask ourselves, ‘Will the dog like it?’ ” —Jenna Gottlieb

Fashion Addict
BY ATLANTA de CADENET TAYLOR
I’ve always had a thing for vintage pins. It probably started when I was 14 or 15, growing up in L.A. I’d put pins on my denim jacket and bag—I still do that today! I probably own at least 20 now, but I can’t even count because they’re scattered all over my clothing. The Elvis one is special because it’s from my mom. I’m always picking up new ones at thrift shops to give to friends as presents. Pins definitely add a personal touch—it’s amazing how there’s so much detail in such a small item.
