Our Highly Selective
Storefront

“One of our favorite artists. Also an easy gift when you want to feel more creative than just buying a candle.” —A.A.

“We always travel with playing cards. These are so cute and leave a cool mark if you leave them behind.” —A.A.

“What says ‘I’m an architect’ more than sketching on your beautiful leatherbound notebook? Also a lot nicer than taking notes on your iPhone.” —R.L.

“Our favorite towels. They bring a touch of whimsy to any bathroom. And now they match Charmin’s toilet paper that also comes with scalloped edges!” —R.L.

“This skirt is so architecturally crisp it’s hard not to feel like a Greek sculpture. But in a young way.” —A.A.

“Yes, this could be used as a salt dish. But if you are middle aged, it is also the perfect little vessel to carry all of your morning pills, vitamins, and supplements.” —R.L.

“Their body and hand wash are the best. That their graphic design and packaging is so on point is icing on the cake.” —R.L.

“We love everything Maisonette. This dress says ‘Yes, my mom chose it. But I love it!’” —A.A.

“This is fun, especially in the current moment. A perfect way to scare off men who hate cat ladies.” —A.A.

“Just own one. Bring it out at dinner parties, at cocktails, at installs (if you also happen to be an interior designer), and create beautiful memories.” —R.L.

“Even if the owners of Coming Soon weren’t our friends, we would 100 percent be fans of their shop. With this pill-shaped carrier you can be the fun host wherever, whenever.” —R.L.

“If you can’t buy our book in your local bookstore (where you should demand they order it!), it’s okay to go to Amazon. A great gift for design-oriented friends.” —A.A.

“I’m always on the go between my seven stores, and red is my favorite color. This suitcase with adorable cherry accents is perfect for life on the run.”

“This cream is a lifesaver on my dry skin. Twice a day, every day. I can’t live without it!”

“Gucci Westman’s matte lipstick is perfectly hydrating and the saturated pigment is light as a feather yet bold. A bright red lip is powerful!”

“I’m an avid horseback rider. This little book of charming illustrations makes me smile.”

“I got married in Positano, and I love everything by Emporio Sirenuse, including these fabulous glasses.”

“I devoured this book in one sitting on a recent plane ride home from Europe. J’adore Paris.”

“Mix this powder with three ounces of water and shoot it right before bed. You are guaranteed a great night’s sleep.”

“Every day. Make it happen!”

“The best sunscreen ever. Period. The end.”

“I love a home full of fresh flowers. This pink Murano glass vase is perfect for a big bouquet.”

“My two sons have recently become obsessed with poker. I love the idea of this chic set for family game night.”

“The sexiest little bootie/heel combo there ever was. A shootie!”

“One of my favorite activities is cooking for my family. A nice pot makes all the difference.”

“Cycling is one of my favorite outdoor activities.”

“A good outfit means I can wear it from work to dinner.”

“For a perfect cut, you need a perfect knife.”

“I’m seeking to connect more and more with brands that care about the footprint they leave on the world.”

“A good day is always accompanied by a good cup of tea.”

“A special flavor for special moments.”

“I’ve always been a great admirer of art and its thousand-and-one possibilities.”

“I first clocked this sleek, utilitarian tanker bag on our executive creative director Gianmaria. I’m hard on bags, so military-grade nylon feels like a good choice.”

“The best book and magazine store in Mexico City is also an art collective and pension. Grab a bar of Casa Bosques chocolate—lo mejor.”

“Traveling through the Pays Basque, I’ve gotten to stay in one of the Gomez brother’s architectural marvels.”

“This has refreshed and revitalized my skin all summer—no easy feat when I’m playing tennis outside as often as I can.”

“Why work in a chair when you can work on a settee? It has all the benefits of a couch but you don’t have to share it. This sexy Gio Ponti midcentury number is exactly the vibe my home office is going for.”

“An approachable science fiction love story written in turns by two authors.”

“I love to cook and host a dinner party, but my current napkins aren’t living up to my whimsical kitchen tiles and off-piste menus. These match my ambitions.”

“With the tennis renaissance, gear is ubiquitous. Yet most apparel and shoes are still grotesque and ill-fitting. Mr. Porter’s tennis edit is on point. I’ll be copping these Nike Air Zoom Vapors.”

“For a few years, every visit to Stockholm involved stylish hotels with toiletries by Byredo. Bal D’Afrique was by far my favorite. It still takes me back to Sodermalm.”

“When tennis season ends, I’m already thinking about ski season. This year, my upgraded kit will come courtesy of Sease, the sportswear brand from the craftsmen at Loro Piana.”

“If you’re fashion-y, a foodie, and your mother told you never to arrive empty-handed (and you hate the bags at the wine store), the Pill checks all the boxes.”

“Instant glam. They look really cute on boyfriends, too.”

“I’ve been wearing the same pair for three summers. I’m still not tired of them and they still look like new. Plus, they’re made of recycled plastics.”

“I’m a hoop person and a scarf person. They go together like croissants and coffee, oysters and fries, and beer and ribs.”

“Soy sauce and miso from coastal Connecticut, where the salt air adds depth. The miso is a perfect dip for radishes and baby turnips.”

“The girlies who know, know B Sides. They scour the country for vintage Levi’s and denim that would otherwise be trash and rework them. Out comes the chicest fit.”

“A Leica image is always recognizable. The lines are crisp, color true and light magical. Everyone likes to have their portrait taken. Make people happy and do it right.”

“Love these for sleep assistance during air travel. The formula gets the sweet-to-bitter balance just right, with a hit of adaptogenic brain food, too.”

“The softest, comfiest, best quality cotton boyfriend shirt without all the work of having a boyfriend. Your tan and this oatmeal color go great together on chilly nights when the season transitions.”

“Please show up to your fancy friend’s gathering with caviar and chips.”

“Wearing these with a flowy dress is my new all-day-every-day look for late-summer/early-fall.”

“Mushrooms and chocolate—the health benefits are undeniable and who doesn’t like a sweet treat before bed?”

“Gorgeous bottle but earthy inside. My aging skin craves oil.”

“A staple in my son’s closet—simple and versatile.”

“From foraging to cooking, I am all in on shrooms.”

“The best for travel, as it is a powder. Always feels clean and fresh.”

“My go-to dress for a match with my tennis gals!”

“Alaia Jeans to feel chic, semi-casual, and French.”

“These are great flats by a great brand. I love that they come in a size 42.”

“I recently sent this to my dad for his birthday. When he was an avid gardener, he could bring ailing orchids back to life. This flower is fun to put together and supremely easy to care for when it’s done.”

“I don’t have a signature scent, so I love the versatility of Vyrao’s six pack. Vyrao’s founder Yasmin Sewell really homes in on positivity with her blends.”

“I’ve been searching for the perfect bomber. This is it. I love the bows, a touch of ornamentation that aren’t overly dainty.”

“I love a uniform, and this is something I could imagine wearing every day. Quite a luxury, but a practical one.”

“This is the best foundation I’ve ever found. People think I’m not wearing makeup but I am! What’s a better compliment than that?”

“I’m not a cook, but in another life it would be a joy to clean my pots, pans, and vegetables with these brushes.”

“I only recently learned how to put on eyeliner. Pencils are tricky. This brush makes it easy to do a subtle line.”

“I’m not breaking new ground recommending an amber candle, but this is the very best one. After a long day, lighting this at home gives me more life.”

“This is one of William Gibson’s lesser known works. I love the juxtaposition between the Mona Lisa, the most famous painting in the world, and cyberspace.”

“My secret to a well-done ponytail on-the-go, and I’m happy to share the news.”

“There are some incredible finds on Etsy, like this rare shopping bag Barbara Kruger created for the Spanish department store Vinçon in the mid 1990s.”

“I enjoy playing medicine man on the farm and making tea. Lately, I’ve been steeping burdock root which makes an insanely colored turquoise brew. Good for the liver.”

“I spend a lot of time looking at antique quilts online. You realize how much time and consideration was put into making something you’d keep forever. What joy! This one has incredible colors.”

“We run a boarding house/hotel at our school. Keeping the sheets straight is a specific sort of organizational hell. I’m convinced having complete sets for each room, with each having a different color, it would be easier to keep them straight.”

“I don’t really wear make up, but I imagine one day I will start, as I transition from farmer to performer in my dream of having a dance troupe or outdoor opera. In the end, we come home to ourselves!”

“The dance/outdoor opera is probably a greek tragedy complete with a traditional chorus. Instead of togas, they’ll stand on the hill in the breeze wearing this Khaite dress, which made me scream when I found it.”

“I have fallen in love with Sicilian wine after spending a month there collecting my thoughts, resting before the farm season, and writing my adaptation of Medea. (She’s misunderstood!)”

“N/A option for our farm barn bar—the Racoon Saloon. Can we get it on tap?”

“This has been my travel bag for a decade! I adore it. I load it up and scoot around Europe with it.”

“(Developed arthritic shoulder.)”

“My family has made soap for 20 years. We started with a sauna soap…my father is Finnish and Saipua is derived from the Finnish word for soap ‘saippua.’ Asking me for my favorite soap is like asking who is your favorite child. But I think lately on the farm I’m always coming in from working with chickens or sheep and washing up with the liquid soap at the kitchen sink is easier and more sanitary feeling than using a bar.”

“A few times a year I do trunk shows abroad. I trust nothing more than Rimowa to help me transport my couture pieces.”

“I am a very tactile person. I love to sketch and design physically, but when it comes to everything digital, my iPad is my best companion.”

“I don’t often wear lipstick, but when I do, it has to be Sisley. Not only are their products amazing, but the team at Sisley are good friends and a close partner of my brand.”

“Preparing for the next couture show is always a very busy time. I love to unwind by doing yoga. It’s become my meditation.”

“I adore the craftmanship behind Diptyque. If you come visit my store, you will almost certainly find a lit Diptyque candle.”

“An absolutely essential everyday item that can always be found in my bag.”

“Daniela Andrier is a dear friend of mine and her work for Prada scents is fantastic. I especially love the Iris perfume, named after her daughter.”

“Anya’s Back To Nature collection is truly inspiring, creating sustainable, organic pieces that can go back into the ground.”

“My ready-to-wear collection is numbered and limited. All fabrics come from deadstock. I love seeing my pieces appear secondhand, as my design and quality is made to last forever.”

“Manolo Blahnik truly has the most beautiful shoes. You never go wrong when wearing Manolos.”

“Every collection starts at my desk. When doing my sketches, it’s super important for me to be surrounded by inspiring design.”

“I have this table from Afra and Tobia Scarpa in my showroom in Athens. This collection was small in production, brilliant in execution and I’ll never part with it!”

“I once read this book out loud to a lover, page by page. It’s relevance is timeless. Several copies sit on my coffee table, and I sell the various language versions in my shops.”

“Lalaounis is Greece’s luxury jewelry house. My father used to buy pieces for my mother every year. I continued the tradition for myself—and those I love—when I moved to Athens. This stunner is vintage, and I love pearls in summer.”

“Ancient’s Greece’s most famed poetess stirs the soul in every way. It’s great bedtime reading.”

“From the moment Michelle Gaugh Baril launched this clean beauty line, I was hooked. This product is your everything.”

“I’m a Leo and I love Enzo Mari. This is hanging in my living room under the Acropolis in Athens.”

“Tom Ford knows lips. Enough said! This will keep your natural color supple and hydrated all summer long.”

“I just bought a few of these for a summer project. For all my photographer friends out there, it gives even more meaning to, ‘Let’s go back to the original Polaroid.’”

“This reminds me of someone’s hands I know very well.”

“I can feel myself kicking these off to gain speed behind the ice cream truck as a kid. A snow cone in sight. There is nothing like summer in a pair of Dr. Scholl’s.”

“I’ve been wearing Fleur du Mal since Jennifer Zuccarini started her enchanting line of underpinnings. Since 2024 is Year of the Dragon, this was an immediate addition to my collection.”

“Norma Kamali is the maestra of one-pieces. This gold maillot does not disappoint.”
