<p>The fashion-lover's abode leverages her cool, minimal style…</p>

<p><strong>How would you describe your personal style?</strong><br></p><p>I would say it's neo-classic and modern mix. I don't like the look to ever be so streamlined. I guess I mimic New York. </p>

<p><strong>How does this reflect in your home?</strong></p><p>My apartment really has a mix of a lot of different styles, although the bedroom is really consistent in that it's more neutral and earthy—I like that in a bedroom. It's quite zen and breathable. Everywhere else is more neoclassic mixed with mid-century elements… modern colors, i.e. virtually none.</p>

<p><strong>What drew you to your apartment?</strong></p><p>I was in a very cold modern apartment before with large windows and sleek furniture. I was drawn to the homey feeling of this pre-war space. Modern is nice for a minute and feels luxury until it's used and moved into, but pre-war always has good character and feels like home.</p>

<p><strong>How do you balance home space and workspace, both mentally </strong><strong>and practically?</strong></p><p>I had an office for a bit, but it didn't really make sense for the type of work I do. I need to be near my closet, and I need a bathroom. So working at home makes the most sense. The office was a logistical nightmare. I've been working at home for about 5 years now, so I'm used to it. I just designate a space in the apartment solely for what I do. </p>

<p><strong>You have a lot of original art on the walls, tell us about</strong><strong> your art background. Which artists do you personally love?</strong><br></p><p>I have been painting my whole life, even before I fell in love with the fashion world. The two pieces in my apartment are by me, and the photograph over the fireplace was my dad's, by Uwe Ommer. I love Henri Matisse, Yves Klein, and Richard Serra is pretty cool. I like a lot of artists, really. It just depends on the piece.</p>

<p><strong>Can you name check some of your favorite pieces—where did </strong><strong>you find them, what's the story behind them?</strong></p><p>The bench in the foyer I found on Etsy…I kinda freaked out when I saw the price. My white mirror is my favorite, it's from Horchow. And my coffee table I got on Craigslist from some cute old man in Chelsea who was desperate to get rid of it, and I was desperate to have it.</p>

<p><strong>Favorite décor sites or stores to shop?</strong></p><p>I looooove what Barney's picks for their home department. Etsy has some great vintage finds, and GILT has some amazing sales. I'll also go on searching for things on random Scandinavian sites…in hopes they ship to the U.S.</p>

<p><strong>That great white mirror is a staple on your Insta, what's </strong><strong>the story behind that piece?</strong></p><p>I got it online, and I wanted something that kind of looked like it's part of the wall. I love details, but in one tone. I love the way light hits it. It's kinda just a really special piece, especially because I take a ton of selfies.</p>

<p><strong>What do you think every room needs?</strong></p><p>Candles, lots and lots of candles.</p>

<p><strong>What would you never put in one of your spaces?</strong></p><p>A bean bag! Or memorabilia of any sort.</p>

<p><strong>Do you find décor inspiration on Insta?</strong></p><p>I mostly find them on Tumblr. But my interior hashtag is #hautehabitat.</p>

<p><strong>Do you think clothes and accessories are to be displayed</strong><strong> or hidden away?</strong></p><p>I studied Visual Merchandising so I always like when there's some clothes out on display.</p>
