Harper's Bazaar November 2021

Our November issue is dedicated to the idea of home—not just the architecture and interiors that compose a physical one but what home means to different people, the homes we find and seek out, and the homes we create for ourselves and for others. When I think about home, I don’t think about a place. Instead, I have come to find my home with people who make me feel safe. That’s why it felt right to have Tracee Ellis Ross on our cover.

But I got burned-out quickly and moved back to California, where I launched my design studio, Claude Home. I restore and reupholster vintage furniture and represent a handful of artists whose work I sell. My background in fashion 100 percent informs my eye for interiors. When it comes to my own style, I am very much a uniform dresser. I don’t like to think too much about what I put on.
