Fashion People

Lauren’s guest is architect-designer-decorator Raf Cardenas, the creative mind behind many of the retail stores you’ve shopped, from Skims’s New York flagship to the newly refreshed Piaget on Place Vendôme. We talked about Raf’s life in fashion and beyond, from working at Calvin Klein in the 1990s to what inspired him to move from designing clothes to rooms. He also revealed what the most power-y publicist, Amanda Silverman, was like in high school. And he convinced me to buy a pair of Free Lance boots on Vestiaire. Jen Brill is also praised. The state of luxury is pondered.
