Hedi Slimane’s Celine FW22 collection film, released two months after Paris fashion week, is a must-watch. The coolest jeans and leather pants under to-die-for jackets and coats and finished off with high-heeled booties — gorgeous. WWD said of the collection “eminently wearable and nonchalant yet elegant” — hear, hear.
I’m a huge fan of a tunic and matching pant and this strapless St. Agni version is stunning — it’s Lauren Santo Domingo to a T. With a bit of volume removed from the pants, I could wear this, too.
My packing process is pretty simple, but not helpful to others: I only take a carry-on, so I don’t take a lot of stuff — only items that I know I’ll wear, and will be happy to wear often. When I saw this excellent list of packing hacks in the W.ICONS weekend newsletter, I had to share. Also, GOOP’s The Rome Guide is spot-on.
I was so happy to see Virginie Viard, Chanel creative director, on one of T magazine’s Culture issue covers last weekend. Six different artists are on the covers for the the themed issue, ‘The Artist’s Way’, and the profile titled ’24 hours in the in the creative life’ follows Ms. Viard walking along the Seine — ‘(i)nspiration often comes when I take a break’ she says. I’m a huge fan of her sensibility for the house and it’s nice to get a glimpse into her creative process.
At a lunch last week, I wore three items that I’d bought in 2020, then shelved. The Celine dress, and Dior Resort 2021 bag and Dior Pre-Fall 2020 shoes finally saw the light of day and I’m very glad I have them. Below, the SS22 Celine dress, that I’ve had my eye on since the collection film, ticks all the same boxes. And, I bought and love the Saint Laurent crossbody bag — it’s just what I needed.
Moye Design, founded in 2018 by Colombian sisters Tatiana and Maria Cabal, recently launched a line of wallpaper and the prints are luscious. Moye wallpapers are hand drawn then printed in the United Kingdom with water based, non toxic inks, on certified pulp fibers. All of the prints are stunning and would be perfect in our guest bath but, which one?
I’m on the list for a pair of Chanel shoes from the Métiers d’Art collection — the ones here, from PF22, are beautiful, too. As is the navy coat (a wow), and silk floral dress with twill patch pockets — crazy chic. I have a Proenza dress that is a crepe and bouclé combo, and it’s the unusual combo that makes it interesting.
After a quick trip to Paris fall 2019, I planned to update my carry-on and had a Rimowa Original Cabin in the cart. But, as we all know, travel came to a screeching halt just a few months later and both trips to London were scuttled — first by Delta, second by Omicron. Now, with a trip to Rome in two weeks, I’m back to looking at luggage and a dedicated crossbody bag. The Rimowa and medium Saint Laurent Charlie may be the answer to both.
Sunglasses and perfumes have been my obsession pretty much since we settled into the pandemic. Probably, because I don’t feel guilty owning a number of either. These Cartier glasses are kind of groovy and most likely not me — but I’ll try them nonetheless. And a deep dive into the world of Creed is a field trip I’m looking forward to.
Want to add a bit of cool to your spring look? Vegan Adidas Sambas, Grey Miu Miu socks, or a white Totême tank would do the trick.

After 20 years casting models for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and fashion shows, I wanted to spend more time with my daughters. KiC is my way to share my thoughts on fashion and style. I believe style should permeate every aspect of our lives — from home, to family, to where we go, and naturally, what we wear — especially when we're just running around.
