My Favorite Things

Long before “quiet luxury” became the sartorial trend du jour, CO’s Stephanie Danan was thoughtfully perfecting subtle, sensible silhouettes. Now, as the L.A.-based womenswear brand celebrates its 10th anniversary, the Moroccan film producer turned designer is extending her reach with a new sprawling store, Paris atelier, and collection of foundational footwear. Below, Danan shares her essentials, all of which are as enduring as her designs themselves
