Q: Who taught you what you know about style?
Working at Vogue taught me to be self-critical and self-editing in my choices. It happens naturally. You’re representing the Vogue brand when you work there, so you want to look chic and upscale and current, but you also want to look like yourself and not a parody of a fashion editor. Since starting my own company, I definitely dress more casually, especially if I don’t have meetings. I am now representing my own brand, so I need to be cognizant of that as well.

Q: What are the rules, if any, in the way you dress?
No rules but only using black, white, grey and navy.

Q: Which designer never fails to impress you?
Hermès for their technique and beautiful pieces and COS for doing the best affordable clothing—but I also hate COS for not selling online and having such limited distribution. Damn you!

Q: Do you have any shopping rituals?
I must go to Paris to hit the boutiques and walk the streets for inspiration. Every season in New York, I shop at Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman and Jeffrey for shoes. I always place a personal order at Band of Outsiders. I’m little and they fit me the best. Oh, and if I find myself at Bloomingdale’s, I must stop at 40 Carrots (my favorite frozen yogurt).
