HOW DOES THE FASHION SET LIVE AWAY FROM THE ATELIER?

THAT’S WHAT WE CELEBRATE IN OUR ANNUAL FASHION ISSUE—THE WAY THESE TALENTS BRING THEIR UNIQUE PERSONAL STYLE HOME.…
Designers (usually in Paris, and usually men) would stage discreet presentations for society ladies perched on gilt chairs, and hemlines would go up or down, structure would be declared in or out, and American stores would begin ordering their authorized line-by-line copies and blatant knockoffs, so that women from New York to San Francisco could execute the commands made halfway around the world. Then came the triumph of American sportswear by designers as varied as Claire McCardell and Donna Karan, swinging London and its anarchic youth culture, and the rise of blue jeans everywhere. Fashion no longer went from the runway to the street, but from the street to the runway, as pioneers such as Stephen Sprouse and Marc Jacobs have brilliantly understood. Today, designers are no longer dictators, and…

ANNIVERSARY PARTY This year marks the 20th anniversary of Daniel’s Dish, chef Daniel Boulud’s monthly column (page 172). “A recipe can be 20 years old and still be as delicious today as it was then,” he says. “Food, compared to many other things, is timeless.” Nevertheless, the column has evolved over the decades. “Twenty years ago, we weren’t making kale salad, for example. Today we’re putting vegetables center stage instead of just as a side dish. Also, people have access to a broader range of ingredients.” Nevertheless, Boulud’s mission to both educate and motivate people to entertain remains the same. “There’s nothing that will make someone happier—a friend, a family member, a lover— than for you to cook for them.” IT TAKES TWO The Seattle-based creative team of stylist Callie…
TOTALLY IN TUNE Lenny Kravitz has always exemplified cool, both onstage and off. So it’s not surprising that when he turned his talents toward interiors (he now has his own design firm), he would channel his boho-glam style for both private clients and real estate developers. Now his first collection of furniture and accessories, designed in collaboration with CB2, brings rock-star style home. The pieces include soft goods, lighting, and furnishings, all imbued with the spirit of the 1970s. “It was a period when high fashion met hippie chic and blended in with rock-and-roll glam,” he says. Accordingly, flame-stitch patterns, chrome, brass, and glossy black take center stage. Kravitz, who cites a range of influences—among them Louis Majorelle, Antoni Gaudí, and Cesare “Joe” Colombo—adds, “Creativity is creativity, as far as…
