Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been taken with the culture of the Golden Age of Air Travel and all things surrounding it. Our grandmother (“Granny”) and our grandfather vacationed frequently in Havana in the early 1950s when air travel was still a relatively new concept. Pan Am’s Boeing 307 Strato-Clipper offered a popular flight to Cuba, and passengers dressed up for the experience. Seats were roomy and comfortable (seat belts did not become required until 1970) with onboard lounges and observation areas part of the luxury experience. The 1940’s marked the beginning of what is now known as The Golden Age of Air Travel. Airlines hired nurses as stewardesses (now called flight attendants) because passengers would sometimes undergo symptoms like travel anxiety and nausea, and nurses could help alleviate these conditions. Meals and dishware used during the Golden Age were often extravagant, with meat sliced from carving stations and tuxedo-clad attendants wheeling food through first-class cabins on open-topped push-carts.
All of this sounds somewhat foreign in 2025—a day and age when air travel is relatively common and available to almost anyone—but back when America was fresh off of World War 2 and the Great Depression, people were newly excited to travel and thrilled about the concept of doing it in the sky. Passengers were known to dress in their finest suits and dresses, while flight attendants donned tailored, designer uniforms. Our cover shot of twins Andrea and Adrienne Gray at First National City Bank, photographed by Frances McLaughlin-Gill in 1963, offers a special glimpse of New York City nearly 60 years ago. I’ve always liked this photo—not only because the sisters were Brearly girls (my alma mater)—but also because they look so happy and hopeful in their matching pink suits at the “First National City Bank” (which would later become Citibank in 1976). There was something decidedly elegant about the simplicity of 1960s fashion—Jackie-O’s wardrobe could easily ring true on any NYC street to this day (or on any runway, for that matter). And while the Gray twins weren’t stewardesses or traveling at the time, their neatly tailored suits—the covered buttons, white kid gloves, pearls and an Elizabeth Locke jeweled pin—spoke to the era’s penchant for dressing well, whether you were heading to lunch, to the bank, or hopping on a flight.
Candice Bergen played a flight attendant in 2003’s View From The Top. The film has become a cult classic (also starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Mark Ruffalo) parodying the ins and outs of “life in the sky” as a flight attendant. In this issue, Elizabeth Quinn Brown writes about Candice “Candy” Bergen, the award-winning actress and early model who famously played Murphy Brown throughout the 80s and 90s. Bergen’s daughter, Chloe Malle, was recently tapped as Head of Editorial Content for American Vogue, a role she assumed this past September after working with the publication for nearly 15 years.

Linda Evangelista sports blue hair while modeling a look from the fashion house’s Haute Couture Fall/Winter 1991 runway collection. Born in Canada in 1965, Evangelista’s modeling career began at twelve years old when she attended a self-improvement course at a modeling school where she was taught things such as poise and etiquette. Regarded as one of the most accomplished and influential models of all time, Evangelista has been featured on over 700 magazine covers. One of the “Big 5” supermodels of the 1990s—along with Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford—she once famously said: “We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day.”

Claudia Schiffer models a signature look from Chanel’s Spring/ Summer 1995 collection. The German model and actress once aspired to become a lawyer, having spent time working in her father’s law firm—but was discovered at 17 in a Düsseldorf nightclub. The encounter led her to Paris and onto the cover of Elle. Schiffer’s breakthrough came with Guess campaigns in 1989, elevating the brand as well as her career. Notably resembling 1960-era Brigitte Bardot, Schiffer became the face of Chanel in 1990. A UK Goodwill Ambassador and spokeswoman for Make Poverty History, Schiffer holds the record for the most covers, as listed in Guinness World Records.

Actress Natalie Wood attends the premiere of the movie Racer on October 29, 1969 in Reno, Nevada, dressed in winter whites and a pair of square-framed tortoise sunglasses. Wood’s first on screen appearance came when she was just four years old in the 1943 release of The Moon Is Down based on the John Steinbeck book of the same name. Her best-known film as a child, however, was Miracle on 34th Street (1947), which remains a Christmas classic to this day. Wood successfully made the transition from child star to ingénue at age 16, famously co-starring with James Dean in 1955’s Rebel Without a Cause. Wood’s tragic drowning death at the young age of 43 remains cloaked in mystery to this day.

Brigitte Bardot, born in France in 1934, rose to fame in the 1950s and ’60s. She first captured the world’s attention with her role in And God Created Woman in 1956. More than a screen siren, Bardot became a style icon whose carefree elegance shaped generations of fashion and film. After retiring from cinema at just 39, she devoted her life to animal rights. Here, she is seen arriving at Orly Airport in Paris after vacationing in Mexico in 1965.

Living Legend Candice Bergen
By Elizabeth Quinn Brown
The name Candice means “glittering” or “glowing”— and the scintillating Candice Bergen has glittered and glowed for eight decades. The star with Swedish looks has sparkled in roles that have ranged from fashion to film and TV (including, CBS’s Murphy Brown ).
And the recognition has been resounding: She has won five Emmy awards and two Golden Globe awards. Vogue has endorsed Candice since she graced one of its covers in 1967, describing her as, “A golden girl with dark emphatic eyebrows over flint-blue eyes and a splurge of wild-honey hair. She is anything she wants to be—writer, photographer, globe-

galloping adventurer with plans to shoot documentaries in South America, Africa, [and] Asia, and—while insisting she doesn’t want to be one—she is a movie star.”
So, too, has Vogue endorsed Candice’s daughter, Chloe Malle—who is succeeding Anna Wintour as Vogue ’s Head of Editorial Content. Who remembers Candice’s role as Enid Frick, Carrie Bradshaw’s Vogue editor in HBO’s Sex and the City ? I couldn’t help but wonder… Were Candice and Chloe’s partnership with Vogue predestined?
Candice Patricia Bergen was born on May 9, 1946, in Los Angeles, California. Her father, Edgar Bergen, was a famous ventriloquist; Her mother, Frances Westerman, was an actress and model. Candice is of English, German, and Swedish descent. Candice’s first experience with performing was with her father and her father’s character, Charlie McCarthy. Candice shared with Vanity Fair in 2016: “My father was a ventriloquist—on the radio—and the dummy he created was a cocky, charming character who went on to become an icon in ’40s and ’50s America. While technically an only child, I was always known—as a kid, at least—as ‘Charlie’s sister.’ Now I want your pity. Is it any wonder my early performances in film were

“Though beauty gives you a weird sense of entitlement, it's rather frightening and threatening to have others ascribe such importance to something you know you're just renting for a while."
—Candice Bergen

referred to as ‘wooden’?”
Because of her father’s fame, she was raised around Hollywood’s elite, including “Uncle” Walt Disney. At 15, Candice was shipped to a boarding school in Gstaad, Switzerland. There, she was introduced to Bloody Marys and cigarettes. She soon enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania, where she had a date with Donald Trump—or, as she shared with People in 2018, “I was 18, the first year of college. I was home by 9. I mean, it was really a dud.” She departed the University of Pennsylvania in her sophomore year.
Candice’s career launched when she starred in The Group (1966). She proceeded to film with the leading men of the 1960s and 1970s, like Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Gene Hackman, Burt Reynolds and Anthony Quinn. Known for comedic skills, Candice became the first woman to host NBC’s Saturday Night in 1975. (She has hosted five times.) Candice shared with Andy Cohen on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live , “It was really fun in those days to work with [John] Belushi and Danny [Aykroyd]. […] In the first years, [the after-parties] were a big deal. People would show up at the parties and, if you were a guest host, you really wanted to be there because the show had such energy and such buzz and no one had seen anything like it before.

Louis Malle, at a Fourth of July party in 1979. The couple married at Malle’s 1500s home in France, Le Coual, on September 27, 1980. Chloe—who was born to Candice and Louis on November 8, 1985—married Graham Albert at Le Coual in July 2015. (Louis passed in 1995.)
Murphy Brown —the CBS sitcom about Murphy Brown, journalist (and recovering alcoholic) for the fictional news source FYI —debuted in 1988. The show explored themes like feminism and gender roles, including in the 1991–1992 season, when Murphy Brown chooses to become a single mom. The show concluded in 1998, having earned 18 Emmys in its run. Five of them were for Candice’s role. Candice and her character, Murphy, fused into a single feminist icon. At the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books in 2015, Candice revisited the same issues that the show had explored, saying: “Having a child, a job, and a husband. […] You can do two of those things well, but to do three of them? One of them ends up suffering and, in my view, it shouldn’t be the child.”
Candice remarried to real estate developer Marshall Rose in 2000. (Marshall passed in 2025.)

She did the same for the female ensembles in The Women (2008)— which starred Annette Bening, Carrie Fisher, Cloris Leachman, Debi Mazar, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Bette Midler, Meg Ryan, and Jada Pinkett Smith—and Book Club (2018)—which starred Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton, and Mary Steenburgen.
During this time, she also focused on the small screen, bringing her acting talents to ABC’s Boston Legal , starring William Shatner and James Spader. The show—which received two Emmy awards and one Golden Globe award—ran from 2004 to 2008.
Clearly, Candice has nurtured each facet of a full and multifaceted life with poise and success. This balancing act is especially evident in her close relationship with Chloe. Together, the two women are beacons of female achievement and feminism—a powerful nod to Murphy. ◆

The Power of the Bag
BY BROOKE KELLY MURRAY
From the Baguette to the Birkin, Assouline’s latest volume celebrates fashion’s most coveted accessory.
“Accessories are like vitamins to fashion. Handbags are the main course,” said Anna Dello Russo, Italian fashion journalist.
In the world of luxury, few objects inspire such enduring fascination as the handbag. More than a mere accessory, it has evolved into a global symbol of taste—an object that communicates as much about one’s style as it does about cultural moment.
Capturing this phenomenon is Assouline’s latest title, The Book of Iconic Bags, created in partnership with Fashionphile, the premier online platform for buying and selling pre-owned designer handbags and accessories. Drawing on the brand’s deep expertise and access to rare pieces, the book pays tribute to the handbag’s evolution from practical essential to collectible masterpiece.
Within its pages, readers discover 25 of the most influential designs ever created—bags that not only defined decades of fashion but also transcended them. Among the most storied is Hermès’s legendary Birkin. In 1984, actress and singer Jane Birkin found herself seated beside Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight from Paris to London, lamenting the lack of elegant yet functional handbags as

she struggled with an overstuffed wicker basket. By the end of the flight, Dumas had sketched the now-iconic design that would become one of the most coveted pieces in fashion history.
From the mystique of Hermès’s Birkin and Kelly bags to Carrie Bradshaw’s unforgettable Fendi Baguette, each entry represents a cultural resonance. The Baguette’s story in particular captures fashion’s ability to create icons overnight: conceived by Silvia Venturini Fendi in 1997, its compact silhouette and playful spirit upended the era of oversized totes—and reached pop-culture immortality when Sarah

Jessica Parker’s Carrie was mugged for hers in Sex and the City.
The book also celebrates other era-defining designs— the sculptural Dior Saddle, Bottega Veneta’s minimalist reinventions, Loewe’s modernist twists, and the minaudières of Judith Leiber. “I approached designing my bags as if they were art pieces, and I always took pride in manufacturing them to the highest level of quality,” said Judith Leiber.
Brimming with vivid imagery and insider insights, The Book of Iconic Bags showcases the stories behind fashion’s most timeless creations.
As Alessandro Michele—creative director of Valentino and former creative director of Gucci— reflected, “Gucci invented the Jackie bag for a woman who was probably traveling, probably working. I think that they were very dedicated to the humanity of their customers. They were thinking, ‘How can we help them to enjoy their life in a very easy, beautiful, but also very funny way?’”
Assouline reminds us that handbags aren’t just fashion— they’re cultural history carried on the arm. u

I’vealways thought of Kiawah as one of the most exotic corners of the American South. Just 40 minutes from Charleston, the island feels a world away with its sprawling salt marshes, palmetto trees, and live oaks draped in Spanish moss. Great blue herons and roseate spoonbills sweep across the skies, while alligators sun lazily along the banks. It’s a place of wild beauty, and now, with the opening of The Dunlin, Auberge Collection, it has a new heart.
Pulling up to the hotel, the first thing I noticed was the charming Dunlin sign set on a whimsical wooden canoe, a playful nod to the adventures ahead. A wide lawn rolls out to the marsh, with fire pits that invite evening s’mores. The 72 airy, cottage-style rooms and suites, many with sweeping marsh or river views, are light-filled and modern, their interiors designed by Amanda Lindroth to channel breezy Lowcountry summer homes. Many suites feature screened-in
From above: The riverfront pool at The Cove; soaking tub on one of the suite’s screened in porches. Opposite page: The Dunlin’s entrance.

porches perfect for morning coffee while watching the tide shift in the Kiawah River.
Convenience is a thoughtful hallmark here. Ride-sharing apps can be hit or miss on the island, but The Dunlin has solved that with a fleet of complimentary Mercedes-Benzes—just sign a waiver at the front desk, grab the keys, and off you go. Back on property, amenities abound: a riverfront pool and hot tub at The Cove, a fitness center, and the serene Aster Spa, where treatments like the Bespoke Facial or honey-infused massages can be enjoyed.
Dining is equally memorable. Linnette’s, the signature restaurant, celebrates Southern comfort and coastal cuisine with ingredients sourced from neighboring farms and local waters. Breakfast might be a flaky biscuit layered with bacon, egg, and cheese; dinner, fresh oysters, seared scallops, or buttermilk-fried chicken. Cocktails are as inventive as the dishes—the

Swizzle, with agricole rum and pecan-black tea orgeat, is a guest favorite. For something more casual, the Willet Room off the lobby offers pastries by day, cocktails by night, and always a welcoming perch.
What makes The Dunlin truly special, though, are the experiences that connect guests to the landscape. Kayaking at sunrise, biking along 20 miles of nature trails, or visiting the nearby Goatery for cheese-making bring Kiawah’s spirit alive. Paid excursions like the Coastal Safari reveal dolphins, turtles, and birds in their natural habitat, while evenings around the bonfire offer a communal Lowcountry rhythm.
Kiawah has always felt like a hidden world. With The Dunlin, that world is now paired with Auberge’s signature style. ◆

Dior: Through The Artistic Lens
When Christian Dior unveiled his first collection in 1947, the “New Look” instantly revolutionized fashion. With its sculpted jackets, cinched waists, and full skirts, Dior’s vision restored beauty and optimism to a postwar world, establishing his namesake couture house devoted to elegance, craftsmanship, and pure grace. Although Dior himself passed away in 1957, the house’s legacy continues to inspire—not
only through its garments and accessories but also through the artists who reinterpret it nearly eight decades later.
Among the most distinctive of these is Brigitte Niedermair, an Italian photographer celebrated for her crystalline compositions and hyper-constructed imagery. Over the past several years, Niedermair has collaborated closely with Dior, creating some of the house’s most striking con-

temporary visuals. Last month, Rizzoli released Niedermair, Dior: Drawing / Photography, a richly illustrated volume that reveals, for the first time, the drawings, collages, and watercolors that underpin her creative process. “Nothing happens by accident,” she notes, and these preparatory works show how each photograph begins as a sketch before blossoming into the final image. Her inspirations—ranging from Renaissance painting and Surrealism to Morandi’s still lifes and De Chirico’s dreamlike architecture— mirror Christian Dior’s own devotion to art, gardens, and history as sources of couture. Whether capturing haute couture, ready-to-wear, or fine jewelry, Niedermair stages Dior’s creations in monumental tableaux that transform fashion into art.
With text by Olivier Gabet, director of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and an introduction by Dior CEO Delphine Arnault, Dior documents the symbiosis between a house built on timeless codes and an artist whose vision reimagines them for today. More than a collection of images, it is a meditation on elegance and invention—linking the founder’s vision with its contemporary reinvention through Niedermair’s extraordinary eye. ◆
Runway Roundup
Favorites from the runways at New York Fashion Week 2025.
Ralph Lauren presented a sophisticated lineup that embodied the classic American aesthetic the brand is known for in a vibrant color palette of red, white, and black. Held at the company’s well-known, white-walled headquarters at 650 Madison Avenue, A-list celebrity guests included Naomi Watts, Jessica Chastain, Priyanka and Nick Jonas, Lívia Nunes, and Usher. The intimate setting enhanced the collection’s mood of modern sensuality, with seductive tailoring that included plunging necklines, boyfriend shirts draped over barely-there tops, and wide-leg trousers matched with shoulder-baring shirts. Simple silhouettes were paired with wide-brimmed Audrey Hepburn-esque hats, including a show-stopping red trench over pedal pushers. A long, white plunging halter dress embellished with a silver seashell-like piece at the chest added to the sense of escapism, as did a red cotton sundress with corset construction that carried you away to Brigitte Bardot in Saint-Tropez. When the man of the hour, Ralph Lauren, arrived to offer the audience a wave at the show’s conclusion, he drew a longstanding ovation. Ricky, Andrew, David, Dylan and their significant others—along with an audience full of adoring fans and admirers—were there to enthusiastically cheer him on. What a show and what a beautiful American Spring Sportswear collection.

Dennis Basso Spring 2026 collection, titled “New World Glamour,” was presented as an intimate exhibition at the Columbus Citizens Foundation Townhouse. Basso said he was inspired by “the strong American woman,” as shown in the confident, poised silhouettes of the exquisite gowns and evening ensembles displayed throughout the historic Upper East Side manse. Basso’s latest collection featured a range of luxurious fabrics, including silk, organza, and pleated chiffon, in a palette of soft hues like mint, buttercup, and pearl blue—while stark contrasts in black and white grounded the collection in classic Basso chic. The designs catered to women with busy lives, offering both glamour and wearability, with everything from daytime trousers and easy blouses to knee-length cocktail dresses and red-carpet-ready, floor-length gowns. Basso seamlessly integrated his Dennis by Dennis Basso QVC line into the collection, showcasing accessible separates alongside couture-level gowns and emphasizing his commitment to fashion for all. Attendees included: Fern Mallis (the fashion industry veteran who created New York Fashion Week recently sat down with Basso at the 92nd Street Y as part of her popular Fashion Icon Series); fashion prodigy Max Alexander (the nine-year-old holds the Guinness World Record as the youngest fashion designer, known to have begun sewing and designing from age four); fashion influencer and digital creator Anna Casey; and Good Morning America’ s Rosanna Scotto, among others. The collection was a testament to Basso’s enduring style and revealed that with 40 years in the industry, Basso continues to reinvent himself.

Michael Kors transported guests to a vision of earthy elegance at his Spring/Summer 2026 runway show, held at Manhattan’s newly restored Terminal Warehouse in Chelsea. The vast industrial space was reimagined as a serene retreat reminiscent of the designer’s own beach house, complete with warm wood paneling, terracotta tones, and sculptural cacti that framed the runway in organic sophistication.
“The simple truth is that escapism helps us tremendously,” said Kors. “So many of us live urban lives, and when you travel, you learn about yourself, you learn about other people, you learn about life. It’s nature that always knocks us out, but balanced with elegance and sophistication—that’s everything I want this collection to convey.”
Set to a custom score by Sebastien Perrin, models brought the collection’s soft power to life. Liquid draping and soft tailoring took center stage, explored in pareos, pajamas and draped culottes that exemplify laid-back glamour. Clothes that catch the breeze—think leggy caftans and flowing tunics—shared the runway with airy, perforated suede and paillettes wrapped in soft, translucent silk voile, all designed to reflect the lightness of the season. Desert hues comprised the palette. Accessories carried the same ease: oversized leather clutches, hand-knotted market bags, and sculptural jewelry crafted by Italian artisans. Streamlined sandals and mules grounded each look with understated polish.

Erin Lazard is a style icon whose unique and refreshing ability to merge past, present, and future fashion has brought her a global following from Paris to London to Los Angeles to New York. Erin has been a glamorous fixture on the social, creative, and fashion scenes ever since she ventured out to conquer New York, South Hampton and Palm Beach at the tender age of 16. Always playful, always surprising, she is a coveted personal stylist and scintillating conversationalist. There is hardly a celebrity or designer she doesn’t know! A proud mother to her magical daughter Chloé (a style powerhouse on her own), Erin’s edits have become a favorite fashion resource among the most discerning women in the world. She has recently applied her sophisticated modern taste to a curated collection of vintage designer clothing with the launch of MAISON LAZARD. Here to capture the rapture of what it means to be in the orbit of Erin and the House of Lazard is her best friend, filmmaker Cecilia Peck. When Cecilia and I inquired if it would be overkill to have both of us contributing to this piece, Erin immediately replied: “Nothing is overkill when it comes to me.”

You’ve just launched Maison Lazard. Tell us what it is!
Maison Lazard is my fashion brand. People have always wanted to know what I’m wearing, whether it’s a piece from the Alessandro Michele-Gucci era with loafers and a very cool pair of high-waisted jeans in dark denim with futuristic glasses, or a velvet and sable coat from Martha’s in Palm Beach. I’ve always collected beautiful things, from the ’60s and ’70s up to now. I’m incredibly attracted to vintage Yves Saint Laurent, Galiano, Alaïa, Alexander McQueen, Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld for Chloé, Zandra Rhodes, Tom Ford and of course, all of the great American designers: Halston, Oleg Cassini, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Gilles Mendel, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors...
I’m a born stylist, and a curator of past, present and future. I’m a creative disrupter! I created my company so I could offer people what I wear. You can book me as a stylist through Maison Lazard, and I provide Maison Lazard pieces. I help people define their own style with originality and beauty.
Where do you find your style inspiration?
My strengths are my imagination and my curiosity, my love of nature, and my ability to put it all together. It all stemmed from my childhood. I’d be walking with my mother by the sea, and she would say, “Mango. Isn’t mango a divine color with French blue, like the sky?” Or she would say, “A deep raspberry is so beautiful with Venetian blue, don’t you think Erin?” Or when talking about marabou feathers, she would say, “I have a marabou feather jacket from Paris, imagine that in the wind when I’m walking.” And organza—organza was a big conversation starter. As was year-round velvet. So all of that stuck in my head, and when I go to get dressed, I’ll pair a vintage raspberry Yves Saint Laurent blouse with a velvet Pucci skirt and a vintage brocade fitted jacket, topped with a little Loewe bag. I tend to dress in color, and I go over the top, because I like to super express myself. But it makes people happy, and everyone has always wanted what I’m wearing. I play dress up in different eras and then bring it all into the now.

Tell us a little more us more about the vintage pieces that you offer? First of all, everything I curate is in pristine condition. I don’t want people walking around in vintage shoes and carrying a worn-in pocketbook while smelling like mothballs—like the women in my memories of the elevator at Bergdorf Goodman when I was a child. It’s posh luxury with a twist of what’s fun and modern, with a focus on expressing your individuality. Fashion is about mixing it all up and taking it to the next level. You can be in a balloon pant and a cashmere jumper with an Yves Saint Laurent army jacket one day, and then you can be in one of my crown Royal British Hong Kong luxurious Duchess satin jeweled gowns, with little gloves, a Gucci velvet square-heeled boot and a wonderful vintage Saint Laurent cape the next. It’s really about mixing the past with the present and the future, and making that available to my clientele. It’s about feeling free and not feeling encased in a uniform, not feeling like you have to wear all black to work because you can’t figure it out. I’m ready to help everyone. I have people calling from France and Milan and Australia.
Do people feel comfortable with vintage or recycled fashion? I really care about this planet, and I hope that most people do. My meditation is walking by the sea and collecting shells. I’m a water girl. And that’s where I started seeing the plastic, and the dead sharks and fishes. If you look up at the sky and you look up at the trees and you look at what’s happening to the earth, your heart
is breaking. To me, fast fashion is not an option. We have so much available to us already! You can go into your mother’s closet, you can go into thrift shops, you can use the online apps, you can share with your best friends... Maybe you can’t afford the designer pocketbook, but what if you split it 4-ways and share it? My wedding dress was from Hidden Treasures in Topanga Canyon. The slip and shoes were a fortune and the veil was from Bergdorfs, but the dress was only $26! With that approach you’re not going to look like, you know, Barbara or Sally standing next to you in the lunch line. In Palm Beach no one is vying for another printed Zimmerman dress—they’re more interested in fashion that says something about themselves and speaks to their individual nature.
We’re seeing more stars wearing vintage on the red carpets… Yes, they’re diving into the archives of all the major designers, and they’re paying homage to previous eras. It shows great respect to the legacy of the different houses, as well as the longevity of real style. How beautiful is an organza skirt with horsehair underneath it to make it puffy—or tulle with feathers hand-sewn into the sleeves? Things like this don’t exist today except for in haute couture, which is not affordable for most.
Describe what happens when you go to style someone. I truly feel comfortable almost everywhere I go. Whether it’s the chaos or the formality, I find it just glorious. I would fit right into the movie

The Royal Tenenbaums. I bring my racks of Maison Lazard, and I look at what they have, and I help people discover their individual style. We are here to express ourselves, and I just want to share beauty and love. I arrive dressed up, and they look at me like a character who has appeared out of the blue to bring them peace. Being fearful of style and of self-expression exhausts the mind. I kind of rip the white gloves off and break things up. It’s taking a nod from Europe. Europeans traditionally don’t throw out their clothes because they tend to last for years—or at least 35, give or take a few.
Give us an example of the Maison Lazard experience! I got stung by a jellyfish recently, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. When you get stung, the venom is very intense and affects your entire body and brain—the sensation lasts a good 10 to 15 minutes and has the power to completely clear your mind of any looming anxiety. You don’t need a glass of champagne or a valium anymore. All you need is that jellyfish serum. Whatever’s in that jellyfish, I should bottle it. I think I’m going to call John Demsey and have him design the bottles and release it as the next production of Maison Lazard. I was telling one of my clients in Palm Beach about the jellyfish sting and she thought it sounded awful. But then I went to her house to dress her,

and she had just been stung, and she said it was fabulous. She had had a row with her son and it all cleared up, it just melted away. My point is, I become friends with my clients, we have fun and I help them express themselves: whether it’s by dressing them in a turban with an Indian dress, fun pants with a T- shirt and a cashmere sweater over the shoulders, or simple velvet and satin with gloves.
But you said you are about ripping off the gloves...?
Well personally I ripped the white gloves off after my debutante ball. My gown was made by David Emanual, Princess Diana’s designer. It came from England in a huge box with the tissue paper. It emerged like the Gilded Age, with beautiful butterflies in glittering gold. The long white gloves were everything. But then I discovered the three buttons and that you could put your hand through there and eat dinner and touch people, with the gloves floating around your wrists. With that flapping of the gloves I realized, “I can keep these gloves on, but they have an out!” After the ball was over, I ripped everything off, put on a pair of Levis, and ran to my boyfriend’s house. My mother said, “Where are you going?” I looked at her like, “What is wrong with you?” Now I regret that. It was a rude teenage moment. I was raised to be a creative, by a magical, strong, beautiful, loving mother. She gave
me a fearless nature. I’m also the mother to a brilliant daughter, Chloé, who’s my inspiration and also a fashion stylist with her own company, @curatedbuychloe.
How do people find Maison Lazard?
People can find Maison Lazard on Instagram @maison_lazard, and I also do seasonal pop-ins. Right now, I’m partnering with Helmut Koller, who carries on the legacy of Helga Wagner’s legendary jewelry designs, which have been part of Palm Beach style for decades. We’re creating an art-meetsfashion experience at her Palm Beach studio on Alabama Avenue! Additionally, I can be found through my personal Instagram @erin_m_lazard. That account is a conglomeration of reflections on everything I care about and love, with fashion from the ’60s and ’70s through 2026, interspersed with animals and nature. Lots of surfing, which I think is the most magnificent sport in the whole world. It’s beautiful to watch, to be merged with the water. Some people like watching tennis players, but I prefer surfers—I find them incredibly sexy. I launched the account during Covid because I wanted to share beauty and love, and I wanted people not to feel alone. I was dreaming of getting to the sea and breathing the fresh air. I try not to post negative things, but I pay tribute to history and events that need to be honored. 9/11, the war in Ukraine, the fires in California… There are times when I’m not going to post birds flying, when my friends’ houses are burning. I support people in areas that touch me. And I mix it all together. I’m a storyteller, and I believe that storytelling and laughter are gifts of love. I love the ripples that sheen on the calm of the sea. Life is exactly like the ocean to me. Beware of the riptides, stay calm, know how to swim sideways, and be grateful. I see the light of all the beauty and the colors of nature. Those are my inspirations. I prefer a bicycle to a car, and I like to ride barefoot to the sea and smell the honeysuckle and the rye.◆

Inside The World Of Coco Chanel
Clockwise from top left: This coat in embroidered black silk crêpe (from the Fall–Winter 1922 collection) was crafted in the Kitmir workshop of Grand Duke Dmitri’s sister, Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna; the unlined gold lamé evening suit in a leafy motif and with a matching long belt that Coco Chanel wore to receive the Neiman Marcus Award in Dallas in 1957; the cover of Flammarion’s Chanel: Her Intimate World, featuring Coco Chanel in her suite at the Ritz, circa 1938. Opposite page: Coco Chanel sought inspiration, especially for her jewelry, from art books and magazines. She wears her eternal little yellow ring, one of her talismans, as well as a bracelet in gilt metal and pâte de verre by François Hugo.
During her lifetime, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel was more than a fashion designer — she was the embodiment of the modern working woman. With her sharp eye for timeless color palettes, impeccably structured fabrics, and discreet yet decisive detailing, she redefined what it meant to dress for a life in motion. From the founding of her house in 1910 to her death in 1971, Chanel’s designs spoke to women like herself: independent, ambitious, and unwilling to be constrained by the dictates of the past. She introduced the world to a sporty, chic femininity in the wake of World War I, dismantling corsetry in favor of fluid, confident silhouettes. Over the course of her six-decade career, her vision expanded beyond couture to include fragrances, leather goods, and fine jewelry, cementing her status as one of the most influential designers of the 20th century.
Flammarion recently released Chanel: Her Intimate World , inviting readers into the private realm of this extraordinary woman with a richly illustrated biography by Chanel authority and historian Isabelle Fiemeyer. Drawing from exclusive interviews with the designer’s closest family members and deep archi -
val research, Fiemeyer reveals a side of Chanel rarely glimpsed by the public: her fascination with symbolism and poetry, her enduring romantic attachments, and her profound devotion to her nephew, André Palasse, whom she raised as her own son. His daughter, Gabrielle Palasse-Labrunie — Chanel’s goddaughter and only direct descendant — offers her own intimate recollections and opens the door to her great-aunt’s treasured personal collection of fashion, jewelry, and art.
Organized into five chronological chapters, the book guides readers through Chanel’s life with rare and revealing artifacts: gifts from her great love, Boy Capel; favorite jewels and talismans; elegant furnishings; meticulously preserved garments; and candid family photographs. One of the most arresting sections, “Alias Coco,” expands upon Fiemeyer’s earlier research to share newly discovered documents from the French Secret Service archives, illuminating Chanel’s shadowy role during World War II and her connections to the Resistance. u

Below: The ruby, pearl, and emerald necklace given to Coco Chanel by Paul Iribe, which she wore faithfully from 1934 onward, lying on her Tyrian purple-lined jewelry purse.
In 1955, Coco Chanel created the quilted chain shoulder bag that was to become an icon of the Chanel style, like the famous tweed suit.
The Most Fashionable Of Queens
This Autumn, the V&A unveiled Marie Antoinette Style, the United Kingdom’s first major exhibition devoted to the queen whose name has become synonymous with fashion. The show— sponsored by Manolo Blahnik—brings together more than 250 objects to trace the origins, reinventions, and enduring allure of Marie Antoinette’s aesthetic. Rarely seen outside of Versailles, personal treasures such as the queen’s silk slippers, jewels from her private collection, and the final note she wrote before her execution will be displayed alongside furniture, porcelain, and intimate effects from her Petit Trianon. These historic objects are set in dialogue with couture by Dior, Chanel, Moschino, Erdem, and Vivienne Westwood; Manolo Blahnik’s shoes for Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette; and film cos-
film still from Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette; the Sutherland Diamonds, comprising diamond necklace with two additional diamond-set sections; crystal flaskwith label ‘Eau de Cologne from the ‘Nécessaire de voyage’, belonging to Marie Antoinette.

tumes that have helped recast her image for new generations. Overall, the exhibition—which is on display through March 22nd—explores Marie Antoinette as both a woman of her time and an early modern celebrity whose influence on fashion and popular culture has lasted more than 250 years. “The most fashionable, scrutinised and controversial queen in history, Marie Antoinette’s name summons both visions of excess and objects and interiors of great beauty,” said Sarah Grant, Curator of Marie Antoinette Style. She continues, “The rare combination of glamour, spectacle, and tragedy she presents remains as intoxicating today as it was in the 18th century.” u
