The Ventura’s West Village Loft

Ohhh Michael and Caroline (and Darryl!), how do we love thee? Let me count the ways. One. Two. And three.

We couldn’t resist a little interior shoot with this family. It doesn’t hurt when their home is a loft in the West Village full of character, history, and Caroline’s soothing art. Take a peek for yourself…

In Her Words: LaTonya Yvette

In the center of my children’s room there is a mushroom lamp that I purchased at Acorn toy shop on Atlantic Avenue in December. The lamp is red, but when turned on at night, pale green spots speckle River and Oak’s ceiling. The pattern begins in the shape of a V, then pulls wider and lays across the ancient ceiling of our apartment in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. By now, I think I know the exact number of spots on the ceiling. I know the way one breaks at the molding, the way the other hovers over Oak’s closet. There is one more that reflects in the mirror, and I never bother finding its true location. I am someone who is at once thrilled by the unknown and completely fearful of it.

Audrey Hepburn and Givenchy. Sofia Coppola and Marc Jacobs. Chloë Sevigny and Proenza Schouler. Kate Moss and Calvin Klein. I sometimes think of the relationship between designer and muse like a slinky tumbling down a set of stairs. Each end of the slinky is equally pulling the other forward, or in the case of a muse/designer, pushing the other further creatively. Both parties involved are equally needed to create any lasting momentum.

As of this December, Tyler and I will have attended thirty weddings together. Yes, this dyslexic is the queen of typos but that is not one of them. THIRTY. DAMN. WEDDINGS.

THE ESSENTIALS / KITCHEN SINK SOUP

We all have those weekends (or weeks, months, let’s be real) were we overdo it a little—I’m a nutritionist but also a human, so yes: it happens to me too. This soup is like a good friend or a warm hug; she’s...
