Do you have a style icon you look to for sartorial inspiration?
"Kate Moss, Kate Moss, Kate Moss! Also Garance Dore, the Gainsbourg sisters (Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon), and any of the actresses in French New Wave cinema, like Anna Karina in Band of Outsiders, Jean Seberg in Breathless, or Brigitte Bardot in Contempt. The French are just so damn good at stylish insouciance! Art-world wise, I think Maggie Michael, Linn Myers, Victoria Fu, and Camilo Alvarez always look great…also Karyn Miller from Flashpoint, Emma Fisher from The Fridge, and my dear friend Jenna Kowalke-Jones, an art preparator at Artisphere — she got me this bracelet. Oh, and the guards (or MAs, as they're called) at my old job at the Phillips Collection were incredible sartorial inspirations! Believe me, those guys know how to put together an ensemble. Gosh, I could go on and on. I look for (and find) fashion inspiration absolutely everywhere."

What's one thing we'd never see you wearing?
"Sweatpants in public. I once ran into a well-known D.C. gallery fixture at the grocery store — she was in her sweats, and when she saw me, she made a swift U-turn with her shopping cart. You never know who you might run into, so leave the sweats at home!"
