Our Highly Selective
Storefront

“The only lip color I wear. When I’ve got a call in the middle of a studio day, I button up a clean shirt over my dirty overalls and quickly apply Ono Ono.”

“Lemaire makes up a good portion of my uniform, and their sculpted Egg Bag is a masterpiece in leatherwork. I have a custom one in white leather.”

“Small sculptures for your ears, both modernist yet elegant. I wear the large size for evenings, and the small size for daytime.”

“I always have a 64 oz. bottle of this in the fridge. I put it in sparkling water several times a day, and mix it into a jar of green tea to rinse my face for a simple, refreshing toner.”

“Lauren Manoogian makes the most exquisite knitwear, uses thick, textured fabrics woven with paper, and has just opened her first flagship in New York. I live in these pants.”

“Every time I go to Japan I pick up a new carbon steel knife. This rectangular-bladed Nakari knife is great for chopping up a big pile of leafy greens, herbs, or alliums.”

“I grew up with chairs like this in my family’s Berkeley home. They are timeless, comfortable, and can easily be moved around a space when you’re hosting.”

“I worked with a skilled metal craftsman at a foundry in Massachusetts to sandcast it. Perfect for a low coffee table or displayed minimally on a pedestal.”

“I discovered this scent in an art book-filled Mexico City loft and then was later reminded of it in a redwood cabin in Inverness, California.”

“I’ve kept Akari lights at all of my studios. This early model, with the beautiful yellowing paper, is one I hope to find a place for.”

“Faye Toogood refers to herself as a tinkerer, and this shirt is for a person doing just that. I cuff the sleeves and wear it with my Lauren Manoogian pants and a pair of studio clogs or mules.”

“I once had an indulgent flight back to New York with this box of chocolate-covered cashews as my only plane food, probably watching Erin Brockovich.”
