What does a pre‑fall reset mean to you?
 

Coming home at the end of summer and settling back into a routine. 

Favorite denim fit?
 

Bootcut. Always. 

How do you wear a trench—your way?
 

Over a gym kit or thrown over a cocktail dress to make it feel more relaxed. 

What draws you to certain textures or knits?
 

Touch. Everything starts with how something feels. 

You’re always on the move—what do you look for in a bag?
 

Big enough to carry my entire life. I have an “everything pouch” with the essentials—Aquaphor, hand sanitizer, strawberry‑mint Ice Breakers, hand cream, band‑aids—plus my passport, camera, and snacks. A little Mary Poppins magic never hurts. 

What details make a tote feel special enough for everyday use?
 

It has to be slouchy, so it moves with the body—not too structured, or it’s not comfortable. I love braided or suede finishes—they add something extra. 

How does tailoring fit into your reset?
 

Tailoring signals that vacation is over. The moment I put something structured on, I’m ready to work. 

Your work balances softness and strength—how does that show up in how you dress?
  

I like one strong piece that does the work. Everything else can stay easy. 

What are you reading (or returning to) during this transition?
 
 

I always return to Adam Phillips. 

What’s your favorite ritual when you’re back after summer?
 

Couch time with close friends I haven’t seen hearing about summer romances and cooking a big roast chicken at home. Heaven. 

What are the first places you revisit when you’re back in Paris? 

The Seine, L'Escale and Palais Royale.
