SOHO OR BUST! With Ramy Brook
We heard you’ll be setting up shop in Soho soon. It’s true! We’re opening a store at the end of September on Prince Street. Favorite Soho haunts? Cafe Gitane and Café Habana. What are your fall basics? Yummy sweaters and suede boots. Now that your handbag line is booming, what do you stow in your totes? My iPhone, notebook, pen, a small makeup bag that always has my favorite Laura Mercier lip gloss. And my wallet! One thing we’ll never find in your bag? A black Sharpie! I once ruined one of my favorite bags when the cap came off.

SCENE
Vineyard Vines ☛ Airstream alert! Bauble brand Miansai is popping up at Navy Beach in a chic-ified trailer. Stocked with nautical bits and bobs, it also has the parfait Montauk souvenir—a golden cuff stamped with the latitude and longitude of its Hamptons pop-up. ☛ Vineyard Vines presented its latest outpost to the world this summer, an East Hampton shop stocked with all things cheery, preppy, and sporting its signature whale, bien sûr! ☛ Practice your downward dog because c/o The Maidstone is doling out a complete Koral Activewear outfit to each guest who spends the night.

What is the most luxurious bauble you’ve ever made? I was given a bag of diamonds from the wife of Björn Ulvaeus, who is one of the B’s in ABBA! His wife gave me total freedom to design a necklace. It’s a great piece. What piece of jewelry do you never, ever take off? My three-carat diamond ring and, of course, my self-made wedding ring. What’s on deck for your fall designs? Our collection this fall is called “I’ve Got Balls.” It features big silver balls. Any stories from your modeling days? I lived with the drummer of The Who in London and partied with Mick Jagger. Which model did you idolize? I was represented by Ford Models, and once, Lauren Hutton was in the office with me. To me, she was the queen of all models.
Move Over, Malibu!
Greg Chait, designer of The Elder Statesman, brings his cashmere goodies to Tiina The Store in Amagansett.
What’s the one item you really want to create out of cashmere, but have yet to do? Lingerie! Where’s the strangest place you’ve worn cashmere? Arizona, in the middle of the summer. I wasn’t thinking when I packed! Would you ever make a cashmere swimsuit? Only if it wasn’t going to be worn in the water. PLUS! Tiina Laakkonen of Tiina The Store, says… Greg is brilliant! He’s an original, and he’s turned the idea of cashmere upside down and made it cool again. I wear my cashmere all year now, but I never even knew what it was growing up in Finland. I only discovered it when I moved to Paris in my late teens! 216 Main St., Amagansett
