Wes Gordon’s Favorite Things

As America turns 250 this July 4th, it seems only fitting to turn to Wes Gordon. The Atlanta-raised designer has spent the last seven years as creative director of Carolina Herrera, one of New York’s most beloved fashion houses, building on its founder’s legacy of fearless, joyful dressing while making it entirely his own. This summer, he arrives with a new handbag, the Mimi and an edit that reads like a very good life: antique mirrors, Christofle silver, children in botanical dresses, and a dog with excellent taste in bedding
