Delphine Krakoff
Interior designer Whose style do you admire most? Anyone who is confident enough to define their own. Who are your favorite salespeople in the city? Tommy, at Reed’s boutique on Madison Avenue, is the best! What’s the oldest item in your closet? A white Chanel jacket that my mom wore at my baptism. It is also my most prized possession. What’s one thing we will never see you wearing? Flip-flops. Do you believe in “uniforms”? Totally—I wear pretty much the same thing every day. And I only wear navy, black, gray, and white. Your closet could be described as… Colorless. What’s the most embarrassing item you own? An “I love New York” T-shirt my parents brought me back from a trip when I was a teenager growing up in Paris. It was totally an omen!
