Wish You Were Here

Left: "One of my first stops is always Valeria Pesqueira's shop in Palermo Viejo. Her colorful, kind of crazy mix of everything printed or plaid, including the wallpaper in the shop, makes me so happy!" Right: "My next stop is the beautiful new cake and cookie shop Pasteleria. I stocked up on almond cookies and headed to La Rural for the fashion shows. My schedule is packed with shows and designer meetings and I know I will need to keep up my energy."

"Ok, the real reason I come to Buenos Aires is for the Home Hotel in Palermo Hollywood. The best hotel EVER. It was a super sunny winter week, so they heated up the pool for swimming. I love the traditional rugs and vintage furniture mixed with the concrete and wood ceilings. I tried to think of every way I could run my stores in Brooklyn without ever having to leave this apartment. Haven't figured it out yet, but still brainstorming."

"Matias hard at work at the Felix showroom in Palermo Viejo. This collection for men is my favorite blend of preppy/punk. I always stock up on slim button downs, striped tees, and skinny jeans for my husband Nik."

"Inside the Hermanos Estebecorena shop in Palermo Hollywood, with the restored and converted original bakery display cases and counters. Industrial designers at heart, their H-system seamless men's underwear is the best thing to happen since Calvin signed Marky Mark. Brooklyn boys get ready!"
