EDITOR'S LETTER

I was lucky enough to spend a morning with Simon and Gail in Gail's south Austin home.

24 SEPTEMBER 2019 |

tribeza.com

P H OTO G R A P H B Y J E S S I C A PAG E S

ashion and style are meant to be fun. I was reminded of this upon meeting Simon Doonan at Gail Chovan’s home, where they’d been paired as part of our Listening In series. The duo discussed everything from drag to blindness to burnout (or in their cases, the lack thereof), but I was left admiring two people who approach getting dressed in the same manner that they live their lives: What makes you feel most confident, joyful and excited? For them, fashion isn’t a put-on, it’s just who they are. Their attitude was galvanizing, and we have tried to bring the same joie de vivre to this entire issue, which celebrates style, this season’s fashions, how we all get dressed each day and what it all means. For the hometown crew highlighted in “Personal Best” — Beth Hitchcock, Ryan Lerma and Riley Blanks — what they wear and how they present themselves are full of meaning. Whether it’s Grandma’s turquoise ring, a just-so vintage jean jacket or a necklace whose significance runs deep, all three manage to up the fashion game wherever they are while also exuding a body positivity that can’t help but be felt by everyone in their presence. Ana Louisa Longley always had an eye for vintage, but it wasn’t until moving to New York City for college that she realized the joy of standing out and breaking from the pack. While others around her were clad in all-black designer chic, Longley was scouring Austin’s vintage stores on her school breaks for one-off pieces that both fit her budget and her evolving personal style. Now the director of creative services at Kendra Scott, she has curated an Austin vintage guide (“Vintage Vanguard”) especially for this issue. Each new season’s fashion editorial is a joy and challenge to produce, and no matter how involved the process, receiving that first batch of images feels a bit like Christmas morning. This September’s “Gone With the Wind” was

inspired by Edward Hopper, and from there the creative team — art director September Broadhead, photographer Ransom Ashley and stylist Margaret Williamson Bechtold — created something much grander than the sum of its parts. I want to Mary Poppins each page and hop right in. But as often happens, I have saved the best for last. Our cover feature is all about model, mama and designer Nicole Trunfio. She joyfully doles out an energy and excitement to all around her, and this same spirit can be found in the designs she creates for Erth Jewelry. Alexandra Valenti captured Trunfio at SHDW Studios, and the results are intimate, fluid and just flat-out stunning. Just like the designer herself. Mark your calendars, and snag your ticket, for our Lookbook Live event on September 25. Not to be missed! Margaret Williams margaret@tribeza.com

T FE E LS AMA Z I NG TO HAVE A CUTE N EW OUTFIT on, to feel fit and comfortable in your skin. Having a fresh haircut with thick, blunt ends and brand-new perfect color is a fabulous way to greet the world. Or how about the sass of a new pair of sunglasses? Or how a clean, bright mani-pedi makes you want to wear high-heeled sandals and use your hands when you talk? Or even (hush) the way a brand-new Brazilian makes you feel covert sexy. To me, style is not just about having fine things, though that’s nice. Style is more about the way taking good care of yourself makes you feel, on the inside. Real style originates on the inside, the calm, confident, feel-good vibe that radiates on the outside. There is no one more lovely than a woman who knows this, and lives it. I know you know what I mean. Society tells us there are lots of ways to get more beautiful. And tells us to pay extra attention to these messages if we are getting older. Society says to starve yourself, surgery yourself, inject yourself and critique and compare yourself. The underlying message is fear. Why? Because fear gets us to believe things and do things and buy things. Fear tells us we aren’t good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, strong enough, young enough or valuable enough. Fear is the finest bullshit artist we have ever known. Call his bluff. I’m going to let you in on a beauty secret no one is talking about. There are no infomercials, no magazine ads, no billboards. You can’t two-day Amazon Prime it. There is no long waitlist to get into see someone who has it. There is no pill, no product, no website, no fee. I don’t even think there is word-of-mouth promoting it, until right now. So here you go, best beauty advice of all time: Let. Go. That’s it. It sounds strange. How can letting go make you prettier? Oh honey, trust me, it does. Let go of all of it. Let go of worrying about it, stressing, striving, comparing, controlling and criticizing. Let go of

body issues and obsessions. Let go of the job you hate with the boss who is making you insane. Let go of the guy who doesn’t love you well. Let go of the guy who does not love himself well. Let go of trying so hard to make something work that isn’t working. Let go of friendships that are not reciprocal. Let go of the value you place on other people’s responses. Let go of your children and all efforts to make them into who you think they need to be. Let go of identifying yourself by your roles. Let go of attachment to outcomes, the way you think things have to be in order for you to be “happy.” Let go of rubbernecking at other people’s lives on the social media highway. Let go of wondering what you are supposed to be doing with your life, and start doing what you love instead. Let go of timetables and mandates. Let go of the breath you have been holding. Let go of numbers on scales and birthdays. Let go of the negative thoughts you have thought for so many years that they have unconsciously come to define you. Let go of the old patterns of fear and control that are rusting and ruining your relationships. Let go of stuffing and resentment. Let go of thinking you have to do it a certain way because that’s the way you’ve always done it. Let go of old hurts; allow them to surface and pass through you like a storm. Let go of the trust issues you blame on other people and learn to trust yourself. Let go of thinking you have to fix yourself, or anyone else. Let go of thinking that everything is all your fault. Let go of playing small. Let go of any habit that you have to hide. Let go of acting as though you always have it together, especially if you’re hurting. Let go of pleasing and pandering for approval and acceptance. Let go of thinking you have to know, and get curious instead. Let go of these things, and all the other things that you have been holding onto that don’t resonate with you anymore. The things you have been meaning to let go of, but haven’t, or thought you couldn’t. You can. You should. And once you do, you will be amazed at the woman who is staring back at you in the mirror. She’s f-ing gorgeous.

“Style is more about the way taking good care of yourself makes you feel, on the inside.”

Launched in October 2018 by mother-daughter duo Katherine Lott and Heather Hale, the Wildf lower Remedies brand features tonics and tinctures created with kids in mind. Their blends aim to tackle common needs like settling stomachs, boosting immunity and battling germs. They’ve even created a special “nod + dream” roll-on for sleep, which parents can apply to the bottoms of children’s feet. “Just the way you have to apply the product provides a sweet moment before bedtime,” Hale says. “It’s more than just the lavender helping your kids be calm.” WILDFLOWERREMEDIES.COM

Get Your FIBER “I’ve always been fascinated by textiles,” Ellen Bruxvoort says. Before starting her handmade woven goods shop, Fibrous, in 2014, Bruxvoort was studying graphic design and had taken up weaving as a hobby. Inspired to further develop her skills, she traveled to Peru to live with a family of weavers and learn their techniques firsthand. “They taught me a lot of what I know,” Bruxvoort says. After starting with wall hangings, Bruxvoort branched into jewelry, hand-making bracelets and necklaces and crafting earrings from rattan, wool and cotton fibers. “I feel like you buy jewelry to feel good, look good, and I wanted to be part of that,” Bruxvoort says. Look for a fall collection filled with organic shapes and curved lines. FIBROUSATX.COM

BEHIND THE BRANDS If you’ve donned a top from Miranda Bennett Studio or picked up a waxedcanvas handbag from Newton Supply Co., chances are you’ve interacted with Open Arms Studio's work. Under the umbrella of the Multicultural Refugee Center (MRC), Open Arms engages the refugee community, providing

sewing apprenticeships, training and textile-manufacturing services. “Our goal is to provide livelihood opportunities,” says Meg Erskine, CEO of MRC. “That means a fair wage and opportunities for upward mobility, leadership and more skills.” MRCAUSTIN.ORG/OPEN-ARMS-STUDIO

“We were a tiny team of two when we launched. We’ve now become one of the largest cruelty-free retailers in the world,” says Ryan Miner. After meeting as students at UT Austin, Miner and Madeline Alcott started Petit Vour in 2013, originating as a vegan beauty box. “Pretty quickly, subscribers let us know that they needed a way to buy their favorite products,” Miner says, “and they wanted more than beauty.” Now Petit Vour is a premier online destination not only for beauty products, but also for vegan clothing, accessories, shoes and handbags. The current most coveted item? Veja shoes. “They’re pretty trendy right now, and they’re blowing up in our shop,” Miner says. “We’re sold-out by the time we can get the next order in.” PETITVOUR.COM

STEPPING UP What good can a pair of shoes do? The elegantly hand-embroidered flats from Rumee promise a donation toward girls’ education in India with the purchase of every pair. Originally from Lucknow, India, founder Ishi Puri made it her mission to produce beautiful shoes, available in black and blush grapefruit, that do more than just complete an outfit. RUMEE.WORLD

MUSIC PICK

Phantogram By Holly Cowart STUBB’S BAR-B- Q, SEPTEMBER 14

Phantogram is a band best experienced live. Made up of Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel, the techno-pop duo’s sound is brought to life by their infectious energetic deliveries. Donning many hats, Barthel takes lead on keyboard and Carter on guitar, while each share the responsibility of singing, composing and producing. Their dance-worthy hooks often come with a gritty edge, sometimes blurring the lines between pop, rock and hip-hop. Calmer moments of stillness are caught between synthy, beat-heavy outpours softened by Barthel’s dreamlike vocals. Whether a solo show or festival stage, it’s easy to get swept up. The bandmates’ palpable synchronistic energy onstage derives from a long-standing friendship and natural chemistry. Having become close years prior in high school, the artists reconnected after finding themselves once again living at home in Saratoga Springs, New York. Carter had just left the band he shared with his brother and was actively composing music when he discovered that Barthel possessed an incredible voice and piano skills. A collaboration was inevitable, with the two officially joining forces in 2007. Phantogram recently released the single “Into Happiness,” three years after the release of their heavier third album, Three, which was informed by a difficult period of loss and grief. Carter and Barthel’s new song echoes a message of hope, reflective of the journey each member has taken to arrive at this point. Plan to be joyfully mesmerized as their music surrounds the Stubb’s amphitheater on September 14. tribeza.com

Sarah Ferguson: Cynosures By Ivy Moore WALLY WORKMAN GALLERY, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 29

While some people stare with brooding eyes as a summer rainstorm robs the sun from the sky, others find peace among the deep grays and blues. Color has power. From the moment we slowly blink our eyes open until we seal them shut at night, color is what we see, wear and feel. So it seems fitting that Austin-based artist Sarah Ferguson made color the cynosure of her art. Using acrylic on canvas, she creates mesmerizing, velvety representations that feel digital upon first glance. Both delicate and bold, her work invites an uninterrupted gaze. When the St. Edward’s University alumna began studying color, she realized the abundance of freedom it allowed her. Her art resembles her relationship not only with color, but with herself, and the ritual she follows when creating a new piece is an introspective journey. Ferguson says it’s an invitation to both the sublime and the applied. The dramatic geometric lines she combines with color gradient create unity and balance and, ultimately, she hopes, invites an inward awakening in others. This is Ferguson’s first solo show at Wally Workman Gallery, kicking off with an artist talk on September 5 at 6 p.m. and an opening reception on September 7 from 4 to 7 p.m.

THE CONTEMPORARY AUSTIN –JONES CENTER

“Triptych (Eyes of One on Another)” By Holly Cowart BA SS CONCERT HALL , SEPTEMBER 20

Fine art, poetry and music are uniting on the theater stage this September. The inspiration behind this unique collaboration goes back decades, starting with the indelible impact of one man: Robert Mapplethorpe. Rising to notoriety in the early 1970s, his black-and-white portraiture highlighted social groups like celebrities, artists and members of New York’s underground S&M scene. With a formal focus on beauty and perfection, he pulled away the liminal curtain to reveal an intimate view that occasionally invited controversy. Although he passed away in 1989, his artistic legacy continues through exhibitions and as a timeless influence for upcoming artists. Directed by Kaneza Schaal, this all-encompassing performance pairs elegantly with Mapplethorpe’s imagery while reflecting on the thoughts, emotions and connections that are formed in response. Korde Arrington Tuttle’s libretto stands at the show’s core, balanced alongside poetry from Tuttle, Essex Hemphill and Mapplethorpe’s muse, Patti Smith. The contemplative piece was composed by Bryce Dessner, guitarist for acclaimed band The National. Each note, voice and movement is made in reaction to a specific image being projected onto the stage. What develops is something beyond theater, a living exhibition and analysis of some of the greatest photographs of our time. “In setting the work up in this way,” informs Schaal, “...we invite [the audience] into how we are collectively thinking about this body of work while giving each person who comes the opportunity to address the material from their own seat.”

Listening In: Gail Chovan and Simon Doonan discuss drag, soccer culture and why personal style should be about self-expression, not external validation By Margaret Williams Photographs by Jessica Pages with assistance from Katie Leacroy

48 SEPTEMBER 2019 |

tribeza.com

his series has all around been a joy to produce, but I will admit, no other interview pairing has had me (or photographer Jessica Pages) more starstruck than this one. Simon Doonan is an icon. Born in postwar Reading, England, he first began department-store window-dressing in his hometown — a role that would lead him to do the same in London, Los Angeles and New York, where he joined the Barneys staff in 1986. The legendary department store, which recently declared bankruptcy (this conversation took place before that announcement), is now

synonymous with the fashion plate, where after 35 years and myriad roles, including as creative director, he now serves as ambassador at large. Doonan, who married his husband, designer Jonathan Adler, in 2008, continues to breathe relevancy and joy into whichever cultural pocket he inhabits and most recently can be seen on NBC’s “Making It,” with Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman, and as the writer of numerous books, the latest of which, “Drag: The Complete Story,” comes out this month. Gail Chovan is equally iconic and distinctly connected with Austin’s cultural and artistic underground. While the designer and University of Texas professor is known for her oft-black menswear-inspired clothing, untamed hair and accessory-laden collarbone, Chovan’s sharp knowledge of the world around her, and its historical context, is what leaves the strongest impression upon first meeting. After 21 years in business, Chovan closed her South Congress boutique, Blackmail, this past spring and is now pursuing a graduate degree in museum studies with Harvard University. These innovators met in Chovan’s kitchen one Saturday last March, as Doonan was in town for SXSW, and though they were meeting for the first time, their stylistic chemistry was natural.

COMMUNITY PROFILE

SIMON DOONAN: I love your store, Blackmail. I was in there yesterday. GAIL CHOVAN: There’s not much left. Twentyone years, and it just seemed like the right time [to close]. SD: Retail is f-ed. If you want to continue, you can always do it online. GC: I think we'll do that. What are you up to? SD: I’m here with Dayna [Isom Johnson], one of the judges from “Making It.” We are about to film season 2. The winner [from season 1] actually lives here. Khiem [Nguyen]! He’s a brilliant, talented woodworker. I still work a bit with Barneys as creative ambassador at large. You know, wearing a sash, doing a lot of waving. I love Barneys. Thirty-five years of my life. My window era. GC: And that’s how I mainly know about you. From your work with Barneys. SD: But I have these books, one that just came out about soccer [“Soccer Style: The Magic and Madness”] and another one on drag coming out in September. GC: That’s fascinating. SD: The culture of soccer is a huge, crazy, explosive global fiesta. GC: We spend every summer in France, and so after the World Cup last year, we were in the streets. I mean, I don’t follow it that closely, but it sure is fun. SD: I’m not really qualified to opine about the game itself. This is more about the culture around soccer. The tattoos, the WAGs [wives and girlfriends], the overspending, the dissolute behavior. I have a whole chapter on fans, demented outfits, unbridled passion. GC: How did you get into that world of style and excess and fashion? Because it seems like it would be sort of at odds with your personal style. SD: No, look at the way I dress. I’m flashy, just like they are. I grew up poor. I like to have some —

GC: Flash. SD: When I grew up in England, I was always interested in the stories in soccer: who’s just crashed their Lamborghini, who’s having a scene tattooed on their arm and then the next week they’re having it lasered off because they’ve gotten divorced. GC: Oh my god, that’s hysterical. How have you stayed engaged this long? Any fatigue? SD: I was always interested in the culture around me, regardless of where I was. I never

“I’m good at inspiring people to be excited about what they wear and take risks and realize that no one’s keeping score.” had burnout. I consider myself incredibly lucky. I grew up after the war. We had nothing. Lived in a two-room flat with no running water with my parents, my sister. So to have the life I have now, every day I think, “God, I’m so lucky to do all these fun projects.” How about you? GC: No burnout here, either. I just started back to school at the age of 60. Going through Harvard to do a master’s in museum studies. SD: Wow.

GC: In two weeks, I’m going to the Victoria [Victoria and Albert Museum in London] to do a weeklong period course. SD: In the old days, costume exhibits were considered an inferior form of expression. When I worked at the Costume Institute in the early ’80s, Diana Vreeland was still in charge . It was underfunded, so we were always gluing mannequins together. The idea of all this explosive McQueen stuff. Back then you could never imagine the museum allocating funds, because it was considered a bit déclassé. The new book is all about the history of drag, so I had to really think about that in terms of costume change and what represented drag, going back to ancient Greece. I went as far back as I could find. GC: What is the earliest documentation that you were able to find? SD: In ancient Egypt, women were not royal, and I can’t remember the exact B.C. date, but one queen wore a ceremonial beard to indicate her royalty. They didn’t have crowns, so she wore this beard. So that’s an early example, but then mythology’s full of androgyny and transvestism, as it was called back then. The most challenging thing about drag, I think — and you’ve done it, I’ve done it — is how long it takes. It’s just, like, oy vey. You know, you see “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and RuPaul — you know, that’s four hours. Six hours. It’s incredibly time-consuming. Especially the new wave of drag, what they call the look queens. GC: What’s the look queen? SD: It’s sort of a level of artistry — Ryan Burke, Kim Chi, they do extraordinary, meticulous painting. They’re doing things on their faces that you or I couldn’t do on a flat piece of paper. GC: I think that’s happening in fashion as well — if you just saw Rick Owens’ show [Paris Fashion Week Fall 2019] with all the facial modification.

SD: Actually, your look is very Rick Owens. GC: I like Rick and Michèle [Lamy] but I like a little more vintage. Last night, I wore a suit and I was like, “I’m only going to wear suits now. I want really well-cut suits.” Kind of like Betty Catroux. SD: Yeah. You should. It’s sort of the polar opposite of Austin, where you so rarely see suits on the streets. GC: I wore it last time we went to a dinner and everyone was like, “Oh my gosh, it’s a suit.” Plus, going back to the androgyny thing, it was easy for me to do because I’ve had cancer, I have no breasts, didn’t put them back on. And I’ve never been a girlie girl. Betty Catroux’s always been one of my star icons. What about you? SD: At the moment, I follow a lot of sports people on Instagram. I love Russell Westbrook, the basketball player. Floyd Mayweather’s really fun; he wears all this designer stuff. I like people that go for it. Make an effort to be memorable, but not because you’re desperate for attention, but because you’re creative. GC: And because that’s who you are. SD: Yeah, it’s who you are. I think there’s sort

of a new cult of anonymity where everybody’s wearing solid colors and sort of some approved version of clothing that’s unimpeachable. You were probably born this way. I was born this way. Like, I always was interested in presentation. GC: Exactly. It’s a genetic thing. I remember I was designing clothes and living in Washington, D.C. I took this job gift-wrapping books for Christmas. There was an old man that worked in the bookstore and he would call me Madame Elegance. He was like, “How did you get to be so elegant?” And this was like 35 years ago. I have people text me, like, “Should I wear this tonight? Does this work?” I’m like, “Yeah.” SD: I’m not self-critical in that way. I’m selfcritical in other ways, but I think it’s growing up gay when it was illegal and you had to love

yourself. You weren’t getting external validation. So I’m always encouraging people to try and live without constantly seeking reassurance externally. Fashion — style — should be selfexpression. Like Quentin Crisp said, “Don’t bother keeping up with the Joneses; drag them down to your level.” GC: I love that; that’s great. SD: I was always around very empowered women — my mom, my auntie, my sister — and so when I’m around people that are constantly criticizing themselves, I want to say, “Hey, no, it’s not really like that. No one gives a rat’s ass.” GC: But don’t you find that they’re going to ask you, “Well, what looks good on me?” People always ask me.

SD: Well, I always say, “I’m not helpful. I give kamikaze advice..” I’m good at inspiring people to be excited about what they wear and take risks and realize that no one’s keeping score, but in terms of parsing the minutiae of what you might wear to your sister’s wedding, I don’t know — go to the costume shop across the street and find the most fun thing that’s actually quite flattering and wear it. Everyone will remember it.

Beth Hitchcock Model, stylist, body activist and co-founder of Living Above the Rules

“I definitely hit my breaking point. I was exhausted from the hate I was giving myself. I’ll never be a size 2. I’m a size 14. I feel like your image of yourself controls everything, and when you can write that story in a positive way, it opens a million doors.” “My grandma's always been into fashion and was actually a model, too. One of the turquoise rings I am wearing, she used to wear all the time when I was a kid. She’s slowly been giving me pieces from her collection.”

She mainly designs all her own pieces, but she also sells vintage jewelry like this one. She’s a really good friend, so it means a lot to me to wear this piece I got from her.” “I’ve always loved vintage clothing and how unique it is. I want to be able to dress in a different way any day of the week and be a different person anytime I feel like it. I’m always open to new influences.”

Virginia, which is the case that reversed the state law against interracial marriage. I’m biracial, so that’s impactful to me. Everything I wear is centered around someone or something that has largely influenced who I am.” “It all comes back to the word ‘communication.’ It’s a form of expression — you’re telling a story through what you wear. If something has a meaning and there’s soul behind it, I’m into it.”

Model Nicole Trunfio Unearths Her High-end, Eco-friendly Jewelry Line

| SEPTEMBER 2019

A Australian supermodel Nicole Trunfio has graced the covers of magazines such as Vogue Australia, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle Australia, but now she has stepped into the spotlight in a new role, as founder and CEO of Erth Jewelry, a line of 14-karat gold jewelry made for the everday woman. Married to musician Gary Clark Jr., and mom to two children under the age of 5, the now Dripping Springs resident, is more on-the-go than ever before. “My intention with Erth is to create 14-karat gold jewelry that you don’t have to take off for swimming or showering, simple pieces that are redefining classics and empowering women at the same time,” she says. Trunfio was introduced to jewelry as a young girl, and quickly became entranced by working with her hands. “We had it as a school subject,” she recalls. “But I was in a room full of boys because it was in the metalworking category. My dad was also really smart when it came to fixing things. He built a drag car, which was actually the fastest street car in Western Australia.”

“I think the word ‘investment’ scares people, but it should be a positive thing. Why would you want to buy something costume when you could have something that will last forever?”

Throughout her years on the catwalk, Trunfio was further inspired by the behind-the-scenes creative process and the talents of designers such as Valentino Garavani, Gianni Versace and Karl Lagerfeld, whom she additionally credits. In 2015, she launched Trunfio Universe, a line centered around a micro-pavé 18-karat solidgold bracelet with cushion-cut diamonds, the Universe bracelet, which Trunfino likes to think of as a modern-day charm bracelet. Women can also custom engrave their daily mantras into it. “It’s my favorite piece we’ve ever made,” she says. “I feel like every woman should have one and use it as a constant reminder that they are the holder of their own destiny.” While that line was her first venture into the world of jewelry making, she was still itching to create more-accessible collections that women could wear every day. “I started making jewelry for friends, and then all of their boyfriends would call and order some, which evolved into Erth,” she says. “Now it’s sold at Free People, Revolve, ByGeorge, Tenet and Broken English.” Since launching in December 2016, Erth has also become a celebrity favorite, often worn by models Gigi Hadid, Chanel Iman, Behati Prinsloo and fellow Aussie Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Since then, Trunfio has come out with collections like the Five Phases of Love, which centers around five cuts of diamonds, each with its own meaning, as well as the Chakra

collection, the Evil Eye collection and, most recently, the Piercing Party collection, which is currently available for purchase in-person. “We host our Piercing Party at ByGeorge one Saturday each month,” she says. “It’s so much fun and such a party, and everyone curates their ear. We’ve also started traveling around America and did L.A. We are doing the Hamptons and will be traveling to Colorado and other places around Texas as well.” Trunfio also firmly believes in the positive vibrational power of stones and crystals, with diamonds being the highest-vibe stone, and feels they are good for her energy and the feminine energy as a whole. And through each of her collections, she hopes to inspire women to invest in gold and diamonds. “I’m not into costume jewelry and think it’s bad for the environment,” she says. “I want to educate people on investing, because 14-karat gold will always have value and you can pass it down to further generations. I think the word ‘investment’ scares people, but it should be a positive thing. Why would you buy something costume when you could have something that will last forever?” Trunfio’s pieces are like the forever-stylish white T-shirt and dark-wash jeans of the jewelry world, and the busy entrepreneur is constantly working to produce even more pieces that will inspire, empower and make women feel beautiful daily.

STYLE PROFILE

GRANDES

n March 2013, Ann, written by and starring Emmy-winning actress Holland Taylor, opened on Broadway. From that point on, the memory of the sassy, idealistic and hardscrabble Texas governor was forever linked to the actress from Philadelphia who had poured herself into the role in her late 60s. Six years later, the play has been produced in cities across the country with actresses eager to step into those sensible heels. Recently I sat down with Taylor and we spoke about Governor Richards’ place in our collective memory and the style that made her unforgettable. DOROTHY GUERRERO: Can you walk me through your relationship with Ann Richards? How did you came to write a play about her? HOLLAND TAYLOR: Well, I met her once with Liz Smith, who was her dear friend and another great Texan. She meant a lot to me as an American icon while she lived, but when she died, I was just undone. My mournful feelings persisted for so long, I thought it was unusual. What’s going on? You didn’t really know her. Why are you so upset? And I just realized that she symbolized something so important. She was a critical voice in American culture, and I couldn’t bear that she had left it. It wasn’t so much that I wanted to play a part in preserving that voice. It’s that I wanted to do something creative with my feelings. DG: What do you have in common with her? HT: I don’t know that I have anything in common

with her. I don’t feel any special right to portray her. I don’t feel I have anything that is personally in me that qualifies me, but I do feel that I was somehow called. The idea for the play really took over like wildfire, because once I started researching, I was completely willing to submerge my life into it, and I did that for three years before I set pen to paper. I only started writing because I thought, Jesus, I’d better get going with this so I’ll still be able to perform it. DG: Has the play changed a lot over the years, with different actresses in the role? HT: About 10 actresses have already played her, in smaller theaters over the country. Every actress brings her own particular flavor to her Ann, but the play is what holds the shape of this creation, and the play does stand alone, on its own very well. This play is going to take its place in the library of plays about great heroes. She’s a great romantic hero, really. It’s not so much a biography. It is really a visitation with her. DG: What excites you about Libby Villari’s performance in Zach Theatre’s latest production? HT: They had been in talks with a number of actors to do it. The way these things happen,

AS A NEW ACTRESS TACKLES THE LE AD ROLE IN ANN , HOLL AND TAYLOR REFLECTS ON THE L ATE TE X AS GOVERNOR

people’s schedules conflict, this plan falls apart, that plan falls apart, and it was fairly close to the time where they had to go to production. It turns out, right under their own noses was this wonderful Libby Villari, who really tore a page right out of Ann Richards’ playbook. She had created productions of it in churches and town halls as a fundraiser for various political candidates—Beto O’Rourke among them. She raised a lot of money for candidates by doing this play. It is burdensome, difficult, backbreaking work to put this play out. When I heard that she was doing it fast for candidates, I thought: That’s the woman Ann Richards would love. It turned out perfectly, and right when the Zach needed someone, there she was. DG: Have you given her any advice? HT: Oh my God, yes. I actually talked to quite a few people who would play Ann. Because they actually need some background material. There’s a center section in the play, sort of the jewel of the play, which is when we see an hour in the life of the governor in her office. You see her in action, and there are about 25 people that she talks to. I always talked to the actresses about those

individual people, what the relationship was with them, what the issues were that are discussed, so that they have some more background. DG: I often wonder about what Richards would think of 2019. What do you think she would say? HT: This is a woman who lived well and lived responsibly, and participated in her world. I think unlike me, who wants to crawl back into bed at what’s happening in America, she was a fighter and she was positive. I know her pretty well, but that’s beyond anybody to really know exactly what she would say at this time. She had that moral strength, that integrity, that foundation to speak out in a ringing way about what was happening. Eventually, in this period, somebody is gonna have to speak at such a level that the government takes action, and I hope that’s what happens. DG: What did you discover in your research about her personal style?

94 SEPTEMBER 2019 |

tribeza.com

HT: First of all, she was sensible about her hair. Her hairdresser is Gail Huitt, and she did Ann's hair forever. Ann decided, and I think Gail encouraged her, to get one look and stick with it. Because her hair wasn’t easy, she had to really do it. Can you imagine Ann with any other hairstyle? DG: Absolutely not. HT: Neither could she, so she stayed with that one thing, and they maintained that all of her life. With clothing, she always had to have help as governor, because she wasn’t exactly spending a lot of time shopping. She had colorful clothes, and she had clothes that sometimes had a little bit of a military-on-parade style. Little bit of the leadership look in some of those big jackets, and she wore big jewelry and big earrings and big, colorful clothing. She was a very smart dresser. She sometimes wore things that were quite witty, like, a chrome-yellow silk blouse with a blackand-white checked jacket. I thought, that is chic.

DG: Do you think her style has informed anyone coming up, or has power dressing changed? HT: People don’t dress quite as strikingly as Ann did. I think it’s more relaxed clothing. But Elizabeth Warren always wears a brightly colored jacket. I think they all have to find their own way. DG: That’s so true. What about your personal style philosophy? HT: It’s very interesting, when people put on an item of clothing, they go yes or they go no. For my part, I don’t look good in anything fad-y. I always look ridiculous if I’m wearing something of the moment. I look ridiculous if I’m wearing something overtly frothy or frilly. It’s not my style. I’m extremely classic. I have clothes for 20 years because I don’t buy clothes a lot. I like to get very good things and keep them forever. I might have Armani suits from forever. I have old Saint Laurent things. I have a Chanel jacket from long ago. I just wear the same things. I don’t tire of those. I also buy in a pallet. I buy a lot of pale clothes to mix and match them all the time. Grays, beiges and greiges, and blues. Pale, pale blues and pale creams and whites. Everything goes with everything. I don’t know how old these clothes are [she motions to her immaculate cream suit] — 15 years? Probably. DG: Do you have any thoughts on Texas style, or Austin style, and how it’s changed? HT: Well, Austin is just everything. It's one of the greatest cities I’ve ever been in. It’s the most easygoing. I really love Texas, and I didn’t experience Texas until I started to do this work. But I’ve been amazingly welcomed by Texas. It’s been a little bit of a mystery to me, why this Yankee gal would have the extraordinary privilege of creating work about this favorite daughter of Texas. It makes me think there’s someone upstairs who’s orchestrating it. DG: Someone in particular? HT: Someone in particular.

A VISIT TO SAN ANTONIO WILL LE AVE YOU REMEMBERING MORE THAN THE AL AMO By Hannah J. Phillips Photographs by Claire Schaper

96 SEPTEMBER 2019 |

tribeza.com

SAN

O MAKE THE MOST OF AN

unexpectedly cool July morning — which in Texas means 76 degrees — I decided to jog down a stretch of the San Antonio River Walk. Normally crowded with the clinking of cheap margaritas and people shouting over music on waterfront patios, the river lay still, as yet undisturbed by tour boats winding their way downtown. Almost instinctively, my feet found a route to Alamo Plaza, where the sun was just rising over the limestone silhouette of our state’s most treasured icon. I’ve visited the Alamo a thousand times, imagining some 200 brave men garrisoned for 13 days against Santa Anna’s 1,800-strong force. As a sixth-generation Texan, I’ve inherited my mother’s sense of duty when it comes to bringing out-of-towners here to explain our unique history, always pointing out the interior f lags representing the many states and nationalities that fought for the freedom of this f ledgling republic. Standing alone for the first time in the sacred spot, I quietly admired the Spanish Colonial architecture of the famous façade. The shadow of the Alamo looms so large over Texas history that it’s easy to miss the icon’s significance before Bowie, Crockett and Travis. Founded as the Mission San Antonio de Valero, the fort was the first of five Spanish settlements established over a hundred years before Texas independence. Together, the missions make

up the only UNESCO World Heritage site in Texas, one of only 24 in the United States. When they earned the UNESCO designation in 2015, I realized how much of San Antonio I might be missing on my Alamo pilgrimages. I aimed to remedy that this summer, diving into the city’s past and glimpsing its future. In the midst of a culinary renaissance mirroring Austin’s gastronomic growth 10 years ago, San Antonio offers much to taste and see beyond the River Walk and the Alamo. Nowhere is this juxtaposition of history and food more evident than at the former Pearl Brewery, where the Hotel Emma reigns as queen. When the historic brewery ceased operations in 2001, Kit Goldsbury and his Silver Ventures team purchased the 22-acre campus with a vision to revive the area as a destination in itself. Mixing approachable elegance and stately comfort, the hotel’s industrial past is on full display in the lobby. Steel beams and solid bronze light fixtures draw the eye upward above a red brewery engine, while colorful Redondo tile rests underfoot, replicated from the original brewmaster’s office. A wall-mounted ammonia manifold frames the entrance to Sternewirth tavern and clubroom, where a bottle labeler turned chandelier hangs from the 25-foot vaulted ceiling. Guests receive a welcome cocktail in the library, either the La Babia margarita or Three

Emmas, a nod to the legendary love triangle of the brewery’s original owner. The story goes that when Otto Koehler cheated on his wife, Emma, with her two nurses (both also named Emma), the third Emma shot and killed him. His wife saw great success running the brewery after his death, even helping it survive Prohibition. After your library cocktail, wander the Pearl campus while enjoying macarons from Bakery Lorraine’s flagship location. Adelante Boutique started here in San Antonio and now finds its home among other Pearl retailers, like Niche and Dos Carolinas. Savor more brewery history with bubbles and charcuterie at Cured: the space previously served as the Pearl’s administrative offices and still houses the original vault. Head to the Witte Museum in the afternoon to explore Texas history from prehistory to the present: Dinosaur skeletons smile their toothy grins in the atrium, and Davy Crockett’s fiddle rests upstairs with other relics from early Texan heritage. Back at the hotel, dive into a good book and a frozen whiskey sour by the pool before dinner at Supper. The riverfront restaurant is perfect for people-watching as a cotton-candy sunset paints the whole bistro pink. Farm-fresh offerings rotate seasonally, but the quail is a year-round favorite. And don’t skip dessert. The sticky toffee pudding with sangria sorbet and a crunchy cinnamon wafer is a memorable one-

two punch of f lavor and texture, and it’s best paired with an espresso martini featuring local Merit Coffee. In the morning, refuel with beignets and praline bacon at Nola before heading to the Mission Reach of the river, an eight-mile stretch that connects the Spanish missions. Start at the southernmost Mission Espada, where an ancient aqueduct still diverts river water today. Missions San Juan Capistrano and San José are a pleasant bike ride away. Known as the Queen of the Missions, San José is the grandest and best preserved, offering guided ranger tours to bring the stories of Coahuiltecan and Spanish cultures to life. A closer look at the stonework on the embellished façade and intricate Rose Window reveals the craftsmanship of the early settlers, also found in the original frescoes at Mission Concepción. For lunch, embrace the city’s German heritage w ith homema de root beer and a Reuben at nearby Schilo’s before t o u r i ng t h e A l a m o . Then raise a glass to its heroes next door at the Menger Hotel bar, where Theodore Roosevelt reportedly recruited some of his Rough Riders in the wood-paneled bar. Enjoy happy hour at Liz Lambert’s opulently colored Ocho, or venture to Hemisfair for dinner at Dough Pizzeria Napoletana. Originally the site of the 1968 World’s Fair, Hemisfair is currently in phase one of a three-part restoration, aspiring to

compete with Chicago’s Millennium Park as one of the country’s premier public spaces. Dough’s second location is one of the park’s new culinary tenants, drawing locals with its bubbly burrata, prosciutto pizza and giant slices of tiramisu. Let Texas show off another of its unmatched sunsets from the sky deck at the Tower of the Americas before heading back toward the Pearl for a nightcap at Still Golden Social House. Since bringing a James Beard nomination to the bar program at Esquire Tavern, owner Jeret Peña has remained a key figure in the city’s resurgence of craft cocktails, and his new speakeasy-style lounge, the Brooklynite, is set to open any day. On your last morning, Sunday brunch at Barbaro covers a multitude of sins with a hair-of-the-dog Garibaldi and eggs Benedict on homemade focaccia. Fully recovered, spend Sunday getting personal shopping tips from “Project Runway” alum Anthony Ryan at Couleur + Blindé. Ryan’s goal is to push his clients outside their comfort zones, seeking to teach rather than sell. He’s not going to tell you something looks good if it doesn’t, and you’ll leave with a few new staples for your wardrobe.

Spend your last afternoon wandering the grounds and galleries at the McNay Art Museum. Built for Marion Koogler McNay in the 1920s, the Spanish Colonial Revival residence opened as Texas’ first modern art museum in 1954. Today, the extensive collection is arranged by theme rather than era, connecting contemporary works with the artists who inspired them. Upstairs, a medieval diptych of “Moses and the Burning Bush” is juxtaposed with James Daugherty’s 1920s abstract depiction; downstairs, a rare portrait by John Singer Sargent stares at a bronze bust of Kanye West. Outside, bask in the sunlit courtyard, where a sculpture pours water into a coy pond and bluetile peacocks adorn the walls. Before hitting the road, grab one last Local Coffee and a treat from Bird Bakery nearby on Broadway. To stave off that impending weekday gloom, skip the semis on the interstate for a scenic route home; as another glorious Texan sunset guides you home, use the extra time to digest all the history, culture and food you just inhaled. You can’t make up for lost time in one weekend, but you’ll have plenty of reasons to come back to San Antonio.

PURO SAN ANTONIO Tribeza's art director, September Broadhead, and photographer Claire Schaper are both born and bred San Antonians whose feelings for the Bexar County seat run deep. We couldn't help asking for a few of their favorite spots when they head back home.

SEPTEMBER'S PICKS

CLAIRE'S PICKS

Blue Star Arts Complex

Hays Street Bridge

There has always been a great creative scene in San Antonio but now we have a true hub for art. It's made San Antonio more of an art city.

Probably my favorite view of the city. Go during golden hour and grab a drink at Alamo Beer Company.

Bird Bakery I've been many times with friends and love it here. Such good cupcakes.

Fiesta On Main The most colorful store youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever walk into. A great way to get a taste of San Antonio's annual Fiesta celebration.

Alamo Antique Mall I've been coming here since I was little and it's one of the most magical places.

Texas Thrift The biggest thrift store Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to with amazing prices and killer finds.

EAST AUSTIN HOTEL

CHEER UP! JUST BECAUSE SUMMER’S NEARLY

THE INVITING POOL AND GRE AT VIBE MAKE IT WORTH A VISIT BUT WE CAN’ T STOP THINKING ABOUT THE GLOBALLY INSPIRED CUISINE By Karen O. Spezia Photographs by Holly Cowart

over doesn’t mean your sunny mood has to fade like a Barton Springs tan. The East Austin Hotel is here to help with a breezy Palm Springsmeets-Austin vibe that feels like eternal summer. Centered around a retro swimming pool, this new boutique hotel offers not only hip accommodations for visitors, but also a pool scene surrounded by three festive restaurant-bars for locals to enjoy. Although the restaurants share many of the same globally inspired menu items, each has its own distinct personality. Sixth and Waller is a chic but casual diner serving lunch and dinner, plus all-day breakfast, which is especially popular for morning business meetings and weekend hangover brunches. Bright and airy and overlooking East Sixth Street, it offers a variety of seating areas to suit a variety of moods. There’s a vintage counter with booths and adorable pink barstools, a center lounge for quiet conversations or quiet solo noshing, and a main dining room lined in dramatic floor-length drapes.

Creative breakfast options include a rumsoaked grilled-pineapple salad topped with creamy yogurt and toasted granola, or eggs Benedict served on a tater tot cake and ladled with green-chile queso. There’s also blueberry-cream cheese French toast, or root vegetable hash topped with sunny side up eggs and pastrami. For lunch or dinner, the West African peanut-and-tomato soup is a sweet and spicy bowl of rich, complex flavors and textures. For a cool and light meal, you can’t beat the addictive umami f lavors of the chilled garlic-sesame udon noodles tossed with smoked mushrooms, scallions, cucumbers, radish and piquant chile oil. Heartier appetites might enjoy the hefty pastrami Reuben sandwich served with tasty homemade chips and pickles. Or for pure comfort food, the chicken-fried chicken is a platter of rustic battered chicken thighs accompanied by excellent mashed potatoes and collard greens. There’s a full cocktail bar, plus a lovely wine and beer list that spotlights regional favorites and international selections. Save room for dessert. There are homemade pies, cake and ice cream, plus novel spins on classics like matcha- and black sesame-flavored Rice Krispie treats. The oversize cookies are outrageously good, and rotating flavors include MoonPie, millionaire’s shortbread and, my personal favorite, the richly flavored Thai tea snickerdoodle with candied peanuts. While Sixth and Waller offers all-day dining, the other two venues feature mostly cocktails and light fare. Pool Bar, the outdoor bar and lounge adjoining the hotel’s pool, feels like something out of Gilligan’s Island, with seating

options beneath a shaded canopy or under the Texas sun —or moon. There are light bites and a few entrée items, but Pool Bar’s focus is frozen cocktails, like the Frozen Sunset, blended with plata tequila, rosé, strawberry and lime. The hotel bills it as the “Best Frozen Strawberry Margarita Ever” — and this may indeed be true. To soak up libations, upscale bar nibbles include delicious tater tots loaded with queso, bacon and green onion, or guacamole studded with pomegranate, toasted pumpkin seeds, green onion and cotija cheese. For something more substantial, there are sandwiches, salads and burgers. On the top of the four-story hotel perches The Upside, a sultry, candle-lit bar bathed in natural light and swept with balmy breezes. Inside, the sleek U-shaped bar overlooks the bustling street scene below, and the terrace offers al fresco seating on bohemian cushions or more traditional chairs and benches. Open only in the late afternoon and evening, The Upside offers a food menu similar to Pool Bar’s, plus imaginative

cocktails, like the dangerously quaffable Champagne paloma, a crispy, citrusy concoction of blanco tequila, sparkling wine and three kinds of grapefruit juice. Opened in May, the East Austin Hotel is owned and operated by the La Corsha Hospitality Group. Austin architects Rhode Partners and interior designers Robin Kelley and Kathy Steele collaborated to create an atmosphere of cool and calm. The 75 stylish but approachable guest rooms were inspired by midcentury modern designs and vary from luxurious poolside suites to dorm-like cabin rooms. In addition to enjoying the hotel’s three restaurants, non-guests can purchase a one-day pool pass or partake in theme events like weekend pool parties. Every time I go to the East Side, I'm delighted with new additions like the East Austin Hotel. While it’s still finding its stride, this glam yet funky destination will unquestionably please tourists and locals alike by infusing laid-back Austin with a little Palm Springs sizzle.

na Louisa Longley's seasoned advice on shopping for vintage clothing (“Vintage Vanguard,” page 52) just scratches the surface of her fashion know-how. Longley is director of creative services at Kendra Scott. And while her personal passion fills her free time — scouring thrift stores for treasures — Longley's job is future-focused: “I love working closely with Kendra each new season to help bring her vision to life.” An Austin native, Longley returned from college in New York in 2008. Obsessed with design, she taught herself to use Adobe Creative

Suite, doing freelance work creating logos, styling photo shoots and blogging. She started at Kendra Scott in 2014 as a graphic designer. “There was still something of a startup culture,” she says. “Everyone did multiple things. As the brand grew, I got to use a lot of my other skills as well.” She now leads a creative team of 11. Longley's Instagram feed shows off her fashion sense as well as her family. She and husband Adam, are parents to Lyle, a charmingly chubby 6-month-old. “I'd like to think Lyle's favorite thing about me is how I sing him lullabies. But it's probably that I'm always wearing lots of necklaces he loves to play with.”
