That Girl?
Remember this name: Roosmarijn De KoK.
We sat down with the 21-year-old Dutch
native and Wilhelmina stunner to talk
career goals, boys, and her take on those
Gigi Hadid comparisons.
by eddie roche
How do you pronounce your name?
Its basically the Dutch version of Rosemary: Rose-Maren. When
I introduce myself, I always say Rose. People also call me Rosie
and Roosy.
Whats your preferred name?
I used to hate it when people called me Roos, but now I think its
kind of cool, because nobody else has that name!
Youre also this much closer to being a kangaroo!
Exactly!
Where were you discovered?
At a birthday party. Another guest was a model, and he said
I should look into it. He took a picture of me and sent it to
Wilhelmina, and they saw it and wanted me to come to New
York to sign me. I had planned to go to university after high
school, so I looked at this as a gap year. Three years later, Im
still here!
What were you going to major in?
Economics and business. I really wanted to be an accountant. I
like numbers. Math is my favorite. Whenever I go out to eat with
my friends, Im in charge with figuring out the tip amount!
What was it like growing up in Holland?
So different! I grew up in a small village with 2,000 people and
one supermarket. Everyone knows everyone. But I love living
in America.
Were you like Belle in Beauty and the Beast?
Kind of! It was very cute. Growing up, my backyard was
the woods!
What are Dutch people like?
Open-minded and fun.
They also make pretty babies!
There are a lot of Dutch models! Dutch people are the tallest in
the world! Its proven.
What have you been up to this summer?
I went to the Hamptons for Memorial Day weekend. We ate good
food, laid by the pool, and went kayaking, which didnt go so
well. I fell into the water and scratched my knee.
Where did you go out to eat?
The American Hotel. The duck there is really good! We also went
to the Surf Lodge. We had the large seafood platter, which was
so delicious. Its funny to see the difference between Sag Harbor
and Montauk. We also had a bonfire on the beach, and the staff
cooked us lobster and seafood. I made smores for the first time.
My favorite dessert in the city is smores pizza from Catch.
That sounds disgusting!
Its delicious!
What were your summers like as a kid?
We always went camping and visited places like France, Spain,
and Italy. I never realized how close everything is from Holland.
You can drive anywhere from there.
What were you like as a child?
Im shy when you first meet me. I need a little time to warm up
to people, but Im much more outgoing once you get to know
me. I loved reading and doing math. I wasnt what you would call
a nerd, because I was still social. My most favorite thing was to
hang out with my friends. School was really important to me.
Will you go back to get a degree?
I cant model forever, so eventually, Ill go back. But Im not in
a hurry.
A lot of people are comparing you to Gigi Hadid.
Ive gotten that often; I dont see it! But her mom is Dutch, so
that might be where it comes from.
Do you have a boyfriend?
No!
What do you look for in a guy?
Tall, dark, and handsome.
You and everybody else!
I know! Personality is really important. I dont really care about
looks. Our industry is so superficial, so I want someone who is
kind and cares about the world.
Does it matter if hes good at math?
He can be bad at math. Ill do all the math!
Do you want kids?
Two! I actually had my palm read recently, and apparently Im

first child before the age of 27. Im cool with that.
What else did the fortune-teller say?
That Im going to have a good career, but I dont take it
too seriously.
What are your fashion goals?
Id like to walk the Victorias Secret Fashion Show and Chanel.
Theyre both so different. I work a lot with VS, and its all about
personality. I love working with themthey want you to be who
you are.
Do you like being a model?
For the most part. I love that I get to travel so much, although
sometimes I wish I was closer to Holland. My mom wants me to
send her a message every day so she knows Im alive!
Which models do you look up to?
Doutzen Kroes. Shes from Holland and shes a great person. I
dont know her personally, but she seems like a great mom and
she does a lot for charity.
Do you want to become famous?
Not really.
Thats refreshing. Why not?
I dont care about fame. I just want to be surrounded by people
I love.

From Marrakech to Deer Valley, you know

how to unwind in style.
By EDDIE ROCHE & ASHLEY BAKER

MODEL JOURNEY
For Jasmine Tookes, the IMG model and Victorias Secret Angel, the magical
waters of Bora Bora are the perfect complement to her weekends in the Hamptons.
What inspired your adventure in Bora Bora?
I went there on one of my first Victorias Secret
jobs about five or six years ago. I was only there
for 24 hours, and I knew I had to come back. Its so
beautiful. The water is insane! I decided to take a
trip back and I stayed for almost two weeks with my
boyfriend, Tobias [Sorensen].
How did you end up staying at the St. Regis
Bora Bora?
I discovered it while watching Keeping Up With the
Kardashians. The hotel looked amazing on the show, and
I did some research and learned it was the St. Regis.
What was the appeal?
All the hotels in Bora Bora are built over the water,
which is super cool, but this one had glass-bottom
floors. When you are in your hotel, you can look
Whats it like to look down and see the sea?
It was cool, but a little scary. There are a ton of
sharks in Bora Bora. You wouldnt really want to go in
the ocean, although the locals insisted they wouldnt
bother us.
Are you afraid of sharks?
Terrified!
How did you spend your time?
We went to the main island, which is very small. We
had a nice dinner at a family-owned restaurant. The
seafood in Bora Bora is amazing. I ate the best red
snapper of my life. On the other days, I relaxed. I
would swim out in the ocean with the sharks, which
was the most insane experience Ive ever had. To be
swimming with 10 sharks circling around
What inspired that decision?
went, so we ordered one from the main island, and
did it again! Nobody was going to believe that we
swam with sharks unless we had it on video. The
second time, it took me about an hour to get in the
water, because I was so terrified. I would never do
it again!
How did you spend your time on the beach?
They had amazing drinks served in a coconut that
were mixed with ice cream and rum. I had a lot of
those! We also met an amazing family while we were
there. They had two kids, and we would all play cards
for a couple of hours every day. They taught us a lot
of new games.
The color of the water is stunning.
Every time I describe the water there, I say that it
looks like there is a light underneath it. It glowed,

Neither of us knew how to steer it, so we got stuck
out in the water for an hour. Someone had to come
from the hotel to pull us back in with a Jet Ski
because it was too difficult to handle.
Were you scared?
Terrified! Every time you looked down, there was a shark.
This doesnt sound like a relaxing trip!
[Laughs] It really was! I would go back a million times.
Where are you headed this summer?
Ive always wanted to go to the Maldives. Hopefully,
Ill make it.
We understand you also bought a new house in
the Hamptons.
Yes! We like getting away, and as my agents know, I
like to take my vacations. In the Hamptons, Im able
to get away, but Im still close enough to the city to
work. We like to go to the Hamptons every summer,
and instead of having to rely on a hotel or finding a
place, we finally bought.
What do you love about the area?
It reminds me a little bit of Newport Beach, California,
which is close to where I grew up. Its very family-
oriented. I love being by the water, and everything
is so clean. I really love the whole style of the
Hamptons. Every time I visit, I fall in love with it more
and more.

Fernando, how long have you been summering
at this house?
All my life. I was born in the Dominican Republic and
the beach town we went to is Casa de Campo, which
could be the equivalent of the Hamptons for New
Yorkers. Its where the locals go. Its a very Dominican
and European mix of people, and very homey.
Everybody knows one another. Its small enough that
you can travel around in a golf cart.
Whats your favorite thing about being there?
Family. And the weather is incredibleyou dont have
to worry about wearing layers. And the short plane
ride is great!
Is it very posh?
Its definitely not inexpensive to own a house there,
but its beautiful, and full of very local people,
which makes it unique. The rest of the island has a
lot of hotels and resort areas, but this is where the
Dominican crowd goes.
Hows the traffic?
Its two hours away from the city, so its not terrible.
What are your favorite things to do in the area?
We go to Catalina, which is a tiny little island off the
coast of Casa de Campo. A lot of people rent boats
and go to the island. We hang out all day floating in
the water, drinking, eating, and having an amazing
time. Everybody heads back around dinnertime and
then we meet up again at a restaurant, Peperoni.
Known for its pepperoni?
It sounds like it by the name, but the menu is very
eclectic! Theres Asian food, Dominican food, Spanish
fooda little bit of everything. Its successful because
it caters to a lot of different people.

When Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia decided
to strike out on their own after years working
side-by-side at Oscar de la Renta, the best
friends decamped to Garcias familys house in
the Dominican Republic to develop their plan
for fashion domination. A month later, Garcia
explains, the label Monse was born.
GUEST REPORT
With Laura Kim
Whats the Garcia house like?
Its on the beach, and super cute and cozy. Fernandos
family wasnt there all the time, but we were definitely
well taken care of. It was hard to get back to reality.
He has a huge family, and they all own houses in the
area, so we saw them a lot. I went to see Oscars wife,
Annette [de la Renta], while I was there. She has two
donkeystheyre so cute. That house is insane, and
the food is amazing. The de la Rentas always have the
coolest guestswhenever we used to go, wed see
someone like Hillary Clinton.
Do people ask you questions about Oscar in every
single interview you do?
Yeah, but its part of our life. I spent 12 years there. Its
hard to take that away from me.
Whats the latest news from Monse?
Were doing our first Resort collection. Its not going to
be a show, just a photo shoot to keep the budget low.
Its looking really cute. Were learning even more about
our clients, and Im trying to learn more about the
financial side. Theres something new every day!
What are your plans for the summer?
A lot of work, but I want to take Fernando to Japan!
What inspired your monthlong stay?
When we left Oscar de la Renta, we were ready to
take that long vacation that you dream of when you
quit a job. Lauras family came, my family came. It
was still a busy time, because I had to go back and
forth to help Peter Copping with the Met Gala.
What were your trips like when you visited
Oscar?
Wed go there to Punta Cana and work on the
bridal collection. Wed bring him fabrics and
embroidery swatches. I have a picture of Oscar

patting a dog.

 WILDERNESS
AFOOT
How long have you and your family been going
to Deer Valley?
We traveled there for the first time for a ski holiday
in 2006 and were completely besotted with the
place. The staggering beauty of the mountains and
the phenomenal snow really hooked us from the
beginning. After a couple of years, we bought a place,
knowing that it would always be our refuge.
How often do you go?
About twice year, always around Christmas and New
Years, and usually during the summer.
Did your move to London impact your vacations?
We used to visit Deer Valley more frequently for small
weekend visits when we were living in New York.
Obviously, its a lot further to travel there now that
we live in London, but we still manage to make it at
least twice a year. [My husband] Olivier usually takes
a boys ski trip there one weekend during the year.
Why do you find yourselves drawn to the place?
Theres a quote by Wallace Stegner from Wilderness
at the Edge: The Utah deserts and plateaus and
canyons are not a country of big returns, but a
country of spiritual healing. We depend on it
increasingly for relief from the termite life we have
created. That really sums it up for us. Deer Valley is
the antidote to our nonstop, overprogrammed city
life. Its where we go to unspool and reboot. The
landscape is so powerful that it puts the trivialities of
life into perspective.
Do your daughters love Deer Valley?
Emmanuelle and Alexandra love it for the same
reasons that we do: Deer Valley is a refuge from their

hectic daily lives. Its a place where we spend time
together as a family in a simple reductive way
hiking, biking, swimming, going to farmers markets,
cooking, lying under the stars at an outdoor concert.
Where do you go horseback riding?
We love Bryce Canyon, one of Utahs mighty five
national parks. We ride horsesor mules, in the
case of Olivier and Alexandradown the canyon
through the hoodoos into one of the natural rock
amphitheaters. Its the same spot where they filmed
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Where are your favorite places to hike?
There are more than 150 miles of spectacular trails in
Park City, and we usually start the day with a morning
hike on one of them.
What about rafting?
The Weber River meanders through the countryside,
sluicing the cliffs alongside the old Union Pacific
Railroad. White water rafting here is really more like
an ambling float down river.
Where do you go paddleboarding?
Theres a little pond at the base of Deer Valley, and
Olivier and Alexandra had an American Gladiators
style standoff to see who would be the first toppled
into the water. Nobody stayed dry, lets put it that way.
Which bike race did Olivier participate in?
The Tour of Utah is a professional weeklong cycling
event that follows the Tour de France, and they have
an amateur day for recreational cyclists that spans 110
miles with more than 12,000 feet of elevation, finishing
at the top of Snowbird mountain. Its a lung-buster for
most mortals, but Olivier finished like a champ.
1. This was originally a homestead and a
dairy barn in the 1800s, and was purchased
by the local residents to preserve the entry
corridor to town, Gers says. Its supposed
to be one of the most photographed barns
in the U.S., and they dress it up with a big
American flag in the summer to encourage
photo moments. 2. The Gers family riding at

What intrigued you about this place?
I love exploring Mexico. Its my drop-out spot of
choice. For my big 5-0, I rented the Moor-inspired
palace Cuixmala, which was once the private home
of James Goldsmith. Its bohemian glamour to the
max, set in a private tropical hideaway with sweeping
swimming pools overlooking miles of untouched
white sand beaches and a wild game reserve with
zebras and giraffes roaming the grounds. La Lomas,
the main house, was one of the most beautiful
and legendary homes I have ever seen. The look,
the weatherit was amazing. We went to houses
all around the neighborhood and looked at the
architecture. And we drank a ton of tequila.
Any excursions youd recommend?
We took a day trip to Sayulita, which is a hippie surf
spot about two hours away.
How long have you been going to Mexico?

ART TO THE
MAX
From an enduring partnership with the Whitney Museum to lending
support to students, MaxMaras commitment to supporting and celebrating
the arts extends well beyond the brands efforts in its native Italy. Maria
Giulia Maramotti, the brands U.S. director of retail, explains why the arts
are so fundamental to MaxMaras mission. BY ASHLEY BAKER

Vanderbilt Whitney;

Whitney bag; the fin-
ished product; Maria
Giulia Maramotti.
Why are the arts such an integral part of the
brand story?
My grandfather was part of the Italian art world and
the Roman school back in the 1970s. He then started
to collect American art as well. As a family, weve
acknowledged art as a way of elevating fashion. The
idea of connecting fashion and art has always had to
do with inspiration. Our collections include Bauhaus,
Kandinsky paintings, and contemporary pieces;
promoting education and art is something weve
always felt strongly about.
How did MaxMara team up with the Whitney?
We have a very organic relationship with the Whitney
Museum that dates back to the years when we lent
them several pieces from our collection. In May 2013,
we sponsored their art party, which weve been doing
for the past three years now. It was a no-brainer for
us. The organization is managed almost like a family,
so it was really easy for me and my family to start
the conversation.
What was it like to collaborate with the Renzo
Piano Building Workshop on the Whitney bag?
That was an incredible opportunity for us. When we
were first thinking about doing a project like that,
we thought that Renzo Piano was never going to
say yes. Hes never really done any commissioned
work outside of his own, and in fact, it was very

interesting. When we pitched the idea, there was
synergy between MaxMara and the Renzo Piano
Building Workshopboth Italian traditions, both very
interested in design and craftsmanship. Renzo Piano,
himself, and his team were really fun to work with.
For us, it was a great opportunity. It took him, like, 15
minutes to design the bag. He has incredible talent.
Working with him and his team enabled us to learn
and think outside the box from a design perspective
rather than a fashion perspective.
When the Whitney bags launched, they were
limited-edition. How have they evolved?
Last year, the inspiration for the limited-edition
styles was the museumthe color of the bag itself
was the same color as the museum, and the shape
is inspired completely by the roof. This year we got
the inspiration from the new exhibition, Human
Interest: Portraits From the Whitneys Collection,
which launched on April 27. Its a portrait selection
from the Whitneys permanent collection. We
maintained the shape of the bag, but we embossed
it with flowers and shapes from a Lon Bakst
costume worn by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, who
was the founder of the museum, in a portrait by
John Singer Sargent. Its a very neutral beige tone.
There are only 400 of the limited-edition bags
sold worldwide.

brand to be acknowledged for
what it is: Weve been around
for 65 years; MaxMara is a
part of fashion history. Several
costume institutes at museums
have asked us to gift the bag, so the Renzo Piano bag
is in the Arizona and Chicago costume institutes, as
well as part of the permanent collection at FIT.
MaxMaras Face of the Future Award, honoring
an actress, has become a highlight of Hollywoods organization that promotes and really inspires
calendar. What are you looking for?
We really go toward an actress who is in a really
strategic place in her career, who can be a model for
her generation. For me, the Face of the Future Award
is ageless. I dont care if a woman is 60 or 15the
idea is to have someone who is at a turning point.
Whenever we pick a woman, we try to pick a woman
who is really strong in her own way, who cares about
her beauty, but also about her mind and inner beauty.
Thats who the MaxMara woman is.
This year, you honored Natalie Dormer. What
impressed you about her?
Im a huge fan of movies and TV, and I loved her work
in The Tudors. Her role in Game of Thrones has put
an international light on her, and her role in Hunger
Games is very powerful. What we like about Natalie is
she is so brilliant and beautiful with a great sense of
humor. It was quite a natural choice. What I like about
the MaxMara Face of the Future Award is that weve
awarded women from Australia, the U.K., and the
United Statesits very international. As it should be,
because the film industry is such an international one.
Whats the story behind your work with the
National YoungArts Foundation?
YoungArts is my baby. Its one of the most exciting
and beautiful experiences Ive had in my whole
career. It started when we opened our flagship in
Miami last year. We really wanted to make a point
about the brand being out there. When I found out
about the YoungArts project being such an amazing
students across the board, it was a no-brainer for me
to sponsor the organizations Backyard Ball. I became
very close to Sarah Arison, who is on the board of
trustees of YoungArts, and we share so much passion
for being close to these young people who are really
the future of art. We decided to partner again in
Miami the following year to institute a scholarship
called the MaxMara Young Visionary Award. We
select a panel of finalists across the boardthis
year, we had a dancer, a painter, an actor. We ended
up awarding Javon Jones, an incredible 18-year-old
dancer based out of Detroit. Two weeks later, Sarah
e-mailed me and said he got into Juilliardclass of
2020. I almost cried; I was so proud of him and the
whole project. We can really change things. Then,
when Sarah asked us to sponsor the NYC chapter, we
were definitely on board. I learned about art from my
grandfather, and he always told me that thats how
the world can really change. These are difficult times,
and cultivating beauty, education, and art is a way of
elevating humanity.
Your Art Prize for Women honors a female
artist in the U.K., and provides her with a six-
month residency in Italy to create a piece for the
Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia.
The work is commissioned, but only in the sense that
they need to work on something. Weve had so many
different takes. This year, the prize went to Emma
Hart, an artist who works across ceramics, video,
photography, and sound.
How do you incorporate art into everyday life?
I go to the Whitney probably once a month. Ive been
living in New York for the past five years; I consider
it home. To have this beautiful building celebrating
the city is really emotional for me. The building itself
is incredible. On the terraces, you can really see the
city. One of the other parts I like the most are the
elevatorsit was so interesting, the idea that they
created artwork within them. What I respect very
much about the Whitney is the choices they make in
their own buying. They are brave; they like to support
young artists. Last year, I went to see the museum
with Adam Weinberg and Donna De Salvo, and it was
incredible. It was almost a historical momentthey
were discussing where to put the Donald Judd, versus
the Bruce Nauman. And theyre very down-to-earth,
which I very much respect.

Your first love, known only as Matthew, played

an important role in your life and is covered
extensively in the book. Where is he now?
Either dead or alive? Im sure if people comb through
the streets of New York, theyll probably see him
somewhere sitting and philosophizing and being who
he is. You think youre going to go in and change that
person, but youre not that person. God bless him.
[Laughs]
Which chapters did you enjoy writing the most?
The chapters about my mother; she was not well
during the time I was writing them. She passed away
last year just as I was getting the book together, so
she didnt get to read it. Growing up, you dont realize
how special things are until you get out in the world.
I could see my roots and the plan for my life, which
made me feel really strong.
What do you think your mother would have
thought of your book?
She may not have liked it all! She was a private
personvery sophisticated and dignified. Since
she was a painter of moments in American history,
she probably would have appreciated the book,
eventually. But she would always say, No, do it a
different way, and put more of me in it. While I was
writing my book she kept asking me when I was
going to write her book.
Im sure theres a book there!
Im starting that one next.
How did you remember your life
in such detail?
I kept diaries since I was 16. Ive

find out where you belong. We all thought we were
going to change the world, and be one, and be in
love with each other. There was a rainbow feeling,
like every color counts. In the 60s, music changed
everythinghow war affected young men, how
women wanted to be strong by wearing pants and no
bra and skirts up to their tookus. [Laughs] Everyone
wanted freedom. Fashion came into my life because
it was something I thought I had a talent for. I wanted
to be a designer, but I found I had another purpose:
I could fly the flag and be the flagpole for those who
were much more talented than I was.
Your famous walk certainly brought them to
life. How did you develop such a distinct way
of moving?
Its all about not falling off the runway and being a
bit of an athlete. When you have to move quickly, you
develop balances, so it became a dance. Its different
in every decade, because the music youre listening to
moves your body and soul.
Your daughter, Anna Cleveland, has a similar
presence on the runway.
Oh, Im glad you like her, because she loves what
shes doing.
How did you feel about her entering the
modeling world?
It was a safe road for her, because I knew who was
involved. She was encased in this protective egg of
fashion where everybody knew her.
From your perspective, how has the industry
changed the most?
Over 50 years, there have been a lot of changes
because of womens rights, the mix of black
and white, and international travel. Also, big
corporations have taken over fashion, and its all
about numbers, hits, and likes. The art is so tiny
now. When I started out, we didnt have all these
means of communications. It was just a room full of
society ladies and royals, and it was a much more
secretive thing. Everybody else had to wait to get the
knockoffs!
You write about having many of your most
prized outfits pinched by an ex.
He took off with just about everything I wasnt
traveling with. I still had some Stephen Burrows,
but now, those pieces belong to a museum. Oh,
believe me, I had so many wonderful things. Its
heartbreaking! Scary, too.
Which piece have you cherished the most?
A Stephen Burrows cloud dress in a simple matte
jersey with a sky cloud pattern and a long train. I used
to wear it in London with a red ostrich-feathered fan.
I would wear platform shoes in gold, so I looked as
though I was a cloud coming into the roombut I
was always working my red feathered fan, of course.
So maybe I was a big red bird flying in the sky!
Do you still keep in touch with Stephen
Burrows?
Absolutely! He comes to visit me, and I visit him.
Hes always the same happy, simple, and easygoing
person. Hes so kind. Of course, I keep in touch with
other friends too, like Steven Meisel. He was in school
with me, and hes a good friend. I still hang out with
Corey Tippen and Antonio Lopezs friends. Its like a
little club. We know that we had an experience that is
not repeatable.
One of those experiences was the Battle of
Versailles. What has it been like for you to see all
the recent coverage on that event?
Its important that someone took notice that there
was a change in culture and that people can come
together and experience the same kind of things,

whether youre royal or youre from 90th Street. In
that moment, seeing all the girls enjoying themselves
in Paris, arm-in-arm and holding hands, walking down
the Hall of Mirrors with Givenchy and just having
a really good time was so wonderful. We werent
thinking about business or social status. We were
in heaven!
You were very close to Halston, who had a
reputation for being difficult.
Its totally unfair. If he were an animal, he would be
a swan. He had a nice long neck. He always used to
say to me, My neck is too long! Thats why he wore
turtlenecks all the time. He was always protecting me
like a big brother. I was so in love with him. Oh, my
God, he was so beautiful! And he was so generous.
You had to deal with many difficult personalities
throughout your career. How did you learn to
navigate them?
Youve got to be like a seed in the wind. If you cant
land on a rock, go somewhere where the soil is ready
and open for you. You cant always be mad about
things. Dont try to knock down the same door,
because there are other doors to open. Youve got to
find your way. If one person says no, then you say,
Well, okay. Next!
Milan was a door that did not open for you, but
luckily, Paris did.
I got a bit thrown off, but I went where my friends
were, and I was safer in Paris. Girls, be safe! You know
when youre young, and you look in a magazine, and
you see a beautiful girl standing in Greece on top of
pillars and doing wonderful things and you say, Why
cant my life be like that? It was the most real thing.
It was like I woke up, and I wasnt dreaming. It was
actually happening to me.
You met Karl Lagerfeld during that time. How
has your relationship evolved over the years?
Oh, he is on his path; he always has been. Hes so
creative and open to new things. Im so thankful to him
for opening the doors of his home to me, allowing me
to be part of his life, and showing me his lifestyle. He
sticks with it, and hes a hard worker. Thats why he is
still so relevant, because hes out there working it all
the time. His work is his best lover. So thats how it is
you marry your career and you have a lot of friends.
One of our favorite stories from the memoirs
was when Jerry Hall fell on top of Valentino at
your house party.
At the time, I was living in Chtelet in Paris, which
was not a nice area then. I was so surprised
everybody showed up, but they just wanted to have a
good time! It was a delicate little duplex on rue Saint-
Martin, and everyone was working those stairs and
posing. A bunch of drag queens showed up and hung
off the banister. Eventually, the stairs just couldnt
take it anymore, and thats when Jerry fell.
If only a camera could have captured that
moment.
We didnt do cameras at private parties. Everything
was really private! You went to a party and you didnt
take one picture. You were lucky if you even heard
about the party because you had to find out through
the grapevine.
What have you learned from writing your
memoirs?
The process of writing is about so much more than
just myself. Those who read it really become a part of
me. Maybe theyve shared the same experiences, or
maybe they will learn to be careful!
What was the most difficult subject to tackle?
My lovers. It changes your life to share it with
someone for a long period of time, and writing those
chapters was both tender and hurtful. It was difficult
to see that even with all that love, some relationships
have to end. I want to be forgiving and honest about
my vulnerability. Girls these days dont want to give
into anythingwere so career-oriented, but we still
have that tender side that hurts.
After five decades in the industry, you look as
fabulous as ever. Whats your secret?
You have to put your feet in the grass and wiggle your

GROUNDBREAKING
DEVELOPMENTS
Stuart Weitzmans transformational take on the footwear industry is the stuff of
legend, and same goes for the designers philanthropic efforts. Here, he explains the
brands latest partnership with Pencils of Promise, an organization that builds
schools in underserved communities throughout the world. BY ASHLEY BAKER

When did you start the partnership?
Earlier this year. I think Pencils of Promise thought of
us because weve been doing things like this in other
parts of the worldbuilding schools, helping kids
get through college. Each year, weve been fortunate
enough to have a successful season. You ladies
seem to like what I make, so we give back. When
this project came across my desk, it seemed like a
wonderful thing to get involved in.
How is the partnership unfolding?
We were presented with opportunities to fund
schools in a few different places, and while we
picked Guatemala, Ghana, and Laos, we would
have gone anywhere recommended. Guatemala is
especially interesting, because our team is able to
visit there, and we really want to see whats going
on. Earlier this month, a group of staffers from
Stuart Weitzman visited.
What were you like as a student?
I was a good student! Ive always been a competitive
guy, and I guess it showed up even when I was in
high school. I wanted to be on the top. I had the
second-highest grades in my high school among the
guysthere were eight brilliant girls between our
valedictorian and me.
Do you go back to your high school reunions?
Yes. I actually hit our 50th this year. Our school,
Hewlett High School [on Long Island], has a hall of
fame for alumni, and it turns out that two designers
actually graduated from theremyself and Donna
Karan. We have our special wall in the hall of fame!
You drew quite the crowd at your dinner to kick
off the partnershipGigi Hadid, Joan Smalls...
I dont know how other companies work, but we grew
as a family business, and many of the people who are
with us have been around for 20 or 30 years. Models

we get friendly with models. It started with Mario
Testino, who recommended Natalia Vodianova to us.
And then came Kate Moss, and Gigi, and the current
group. The models who came to our dinner really
wanted to be thereit wasnt part of a contract.
We told them what we were doing, and they wanted
to help raise awareness for it, because it is such a
wonderful cause.
Your Spring campaign with Gigi, Joan, and
Lily Aldridge caused quite a stir. How did that
impact the business?
All our campaigns have had a similar impact, and
they build on each other. We modeled the picture of
the three girls on the Tre Grazie statue in Italy. It was
a catchy idea that told a great story, and the press

How do you treat front yards and backyards
differently?
People are more inclined to spend time in the
backyard versus the front yard. The front yard is more
functional; its either the way youre going to get into
the garage or to the backyard or into the house, or
out from the driveway to the street. So the position of
the driveway is a big thing in the front yards design.
The backyard is all about your outdoor living. Where
is the patio going to be located? Where will you be
entertaining? Where will the pool go? What is the size
of the pool house? Its also about the views of the
gardens from the house, like the screening of tennis
courts, if the house has them. In the front yard, its
important to have a good space for parking, because
street parking is always a question out here. And its

How does a renowned decorator of the East Ends most affluent residents put up with his
high-maintenance clients? One frazzled tastemaker anonymously sounds off on the obsessive

AS TOLD TO EDDIE ROCHE
Do you prefer being called an interior decorator
or designer?
Designer, of course.
Good to know. Whats the biggest challenge of
working in the Hamptons?
The craziness of the clients. Everyone has really
unrealistic expectations. They want things to happen
immediately and dont care about how long things
take to get made. Theres a lot of entitlement here.
What do you mean by that?
A lot of people believe that the more money they

me? If youre going to be a big pain in the ass, Im
walking away.

be highly visible and therefore worth my investment.
But my client was paralyzed by the mere idea of
making a decision. She spent so much time changing
the heights of doors that her builder may have gone
legally insane. Ill never get that time back.
Did you always keep your cool?
I tried to quietly fire her, but her husband got involved
and upped my payment, which finally made it worth
my while. Something tells me hed been down this
road before.
Do you ever see couples fighting in front of you?
All the time! What typically happens is that I end up
becoming the husbands secret go-to guy. If you want
to get paid and get the job moving, he has to be on
board. To leave the husbands out of it is foolish. I
have to make sure theyre comfortable with the
budget, and everything is transparent. When men
feel like their wives are running rampant and
throwing away money, they go ballistic. Whomever
is signing the check is my No. 1 priority. I enjoy
dealing with the finance guys. I find high-strung
personalities appealing.
What else makes your life hell?
Control freaks. When you hire a plumber, you let
shutterstock
them do their job without offering up your opinion
on a better way to fix a clogged toilet. Why cant you
afford me the same courtesy? Just because you read
Domino doesnt mean that I care about your opinion.
I spent six years training under [redacted]! Do you
know what Ive had to endure to get here?
Were very sorry.
Dont ask me to present you with a custom design
of your dream sofa and then stay up all night to get
the bargain basement version on One Kings Lane.
Do you realize Im losing my kickback from my
sofa guy? Dont waste my time. Also, this isnt an
apprenticeship. Dont shop around and show me your
finds. Why do you care about my approval? Youre
not a designer, and thats totally fine. You basically
hired me because you have no taste and youre smart
enough to know that you cant do it yourself. So give
me a copy of your AmEx Centurion and move on.
Are men or women the worst offenders?
Its normally a wife who has way too much time on
her hands. Let me tell you, theres no scarcity of those
on the East End. Its a balancing act: You let them
participate, but remind them that youre in charge.
When they go off the reservation and buy something
without my approvalwhich, inevitably, is a disaster
and a waste of moneyIm never afraid to say, I told
you so! I quite enjoy it, actually.
Whats the most obsessive behavior youve
witnessed?
One client repainted a room 12 times. She would
have guests over and ask their opinion, and then
shed come to me with, Its almost there; its just
slightly off. She was manic. Quit holding up the
process, woman!
What kind of money can interior designers
make in the Hamptons?
Millions of dollars a year, if youre designing one of
those massive homes. A lot of us take a commission
on the furniture sales. If youre working with a million-
dollar budget, youre taking home a decent amount.
The goal is to work on several jobs at the same time,
of course.
Wow!
Clients always try to get you on board as cheaply as
possible, which always bothers me. The best projects
and relationships have been with people who respect
me and my fee. If someone tells me Im not worth my
rate, thats a warning sign.
Are you generally appalled at your clients
preexisting dcor?
Absolutely! Im always shocked by how people are
living. Some clients express an interest in keeping
certain pieces, and those are always something out
of a horror show. How the hell am I going to make this
work? Its all very psychological. I never express my
opinions on these issues right away, because a lot of
the time, theyve attached a strong sentimental value
trueLife
to that Remington. But ultimately, when you begin the
final installation, clients realize that Grandmas faux
Tiffany lamp isnt going to cut it.
Are you judgy about your friends homes?
Dont we all judge a little? Its an occupational hazard.
Things can always be better, but Ive learned over
time to keep my mouth shut.
Do you get along with your peers?
We do, surprisingly. Its nice to talk to someone
who knows what youre going through. Some of
them have embarrassed us in the past, like that
person who famously ordered the wrong size marble
for a counter so that a crane had to lift it into the
owners Manhattan pad, which resulted in a lawsuit.
Those arent the types you want representing
your brand.
Have you ever been hit on by a client?
[Long pause] Yes, and its really awkward. I usually
nip that in the bud right away. What can I say? Im an
attractive guy.
A man or a woman?
A woman, believe it or not.
Was she blind?
[Laughs] I told her upfront I was gay! She wasnt
lounging around in her lingerie, but she was saying
things that were uncomfortable, and prying into my
romantic life. When she got a little too touchy, I said,
Look! She got the picture.
What are some of the strangest requests youve
heard about?
One client wanted her living room in East Hampton
to be decorated exactly like her city apartment living
room, like down to the books. I turned that down.
A few years ago, every wife was doing those pole-
dancing workout classes, so they would want stripper
poles installed in their basements. I shudder just
thinking about it. Dance aerobics are popular now, so
people are building nightclubs instead.
Have you heard of any sex rooms?
Sure. Everybody who has been to [redacted] knows
thats a big part of that place. He has cages in his
garage. Its a whole thing. I was at a party there, and
its so cheap and gross, but its fabulous. I vividly
remember that there were these tall bookcases in
the living room, and instead of anything interesting
being on the shelves, there was a silver cooking pot.
It was bizarre.
Who does one call to decorate a sex room?
I couldnt even begin to imagine. I wouldnt do it. If
it was a Christian Grey level, thats a whole different
story. If we could upholster it in Loro Piana cashmere,
and deck it out in a leather sling by Bottega Veneta
and Herms riding crops? Im totally into that.

CAN YOU TALK
THE TAUK?
Longtime Montauk local Chris Coleman of Saunders is generous with tips for where
to buy, dine, and unwindbut hes not one to fork over every secret spot in town.
Read on for the essential intel on whats really happening in the buzzy town.
BY KRISTEN HEINZINGER
How long have you lived in Montauk?
My dad bought his place on Soundview Drive in
Culloden in 1962. Ive been coming my whole life. My
mom still lives on the same property.
What are some of the major changes youve seen
over the years?
It went from an area of Leisuramas that Macys and
Sears were selling out of a catalog in the 60s and
70s to one of the most desirable parts of Montauk.
Now, the houses in the Culloden area that you could
buy out of the catalog are being renovated. The
new guard is changing up those places. Some are
keeping them the same size and bringing them up-
to-date, and some guys are knocking them down. It
depends on the new buyer. And also, were seeing a
resurgence of the harbor.
We all hear that Montauk is hot, from both
rental and sales perspectives. In which pockets
of the market are you seeing the most activity
and the highest increases in valuations?
Everyone keeps saying that Montauks market is so
hot. I think theyre talking about the super high-end
FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M
things going on. Its a healthy market, but its not
so hot to me. The areas with the most activity are
properties with water views or are properly priced
with upside still to be had. Ive seen properties that
have water views and have room for value, meaning
people can put a newer house or expand and make
the property better. It doesnt necessarily have to be
bigger. The hot areas are where the houses are one
of a kind, and it doesnt necessarily need to be on the
water to be one of a kind.
Does Montauks relatively newfound reputation
as a place to party have any negative effects on
the real estate market?
Montauk has always had a healthy party going
on locally. The negative impact on real estate is
because of the disrespectful partying by a few that
affects all. It looks like we went from one side to
another here, because the town is now enforcing
a cabaret license to have live music. Theyre really
cracking down, and taking it a little too far, to be
honest. Yes, Montauk got a little out of hand, but at
the same time, everyone reeled it in, and hopefully
the town doesnt take it too far to where you
cant have a band playing sunset hours. That
would be crazy. Theres a happy medium, if
everyone is willing to communicate. But yes,
Montauk has had some years of uncontrolled
partying.
According to several reports in The East
Hampton Star over the past year, Montauk
residents have banded together to work
with the town against overcrowding, public
intoxication, and disorderly behavior. Whats
your take on the situation? Will the crowds be
more manageable?
The rule book seems to change a lot around here and
sometimes without a lot of thought. Larry Cantwell,
the town supervisor, has done some things that
have wiped out a good time. Theres a way to get
the partying controlled. Montauk is in the middle
of toning down, because of the extreme it went to.
But Cantwell, without really talking with anyone, has
taken it to a different level. Im hoping that everyone
can agree on a happy medium.

THE HOT AREAS ARE
WHERE THE HOUSES ARE
ONE OF A KIND, AND IT
DOESNt necessarily
need TO BE ON THE WATER
TO BE ONE OF A KIND.
How do you see the East Hampton Rental
Registry playing out? Is it good for business?
Its not. I think that its another layer that the town
is using to control things. I dont think its the towns
business who someone rents to. This is America,
and people should be able to rent to whomever they
want to, as long as they play within the guidelines of
the rental book. I dont think the Rental Registry is
awfulits another way the town is trying to self-
govern everything. Its made a lot of people do a lot
of different things to get their houses ready. Its a lot
more work.
What do you find to be the most desirable
Montauk neighborhoods at the moment?
They are all desirableit depends on what you like!
Places with water views are trading pretty well. Ive
seen it happen in Surfside, Hither Hills, Ditch Plains,
and Culloden. Those seem to be the strongest at the
moment. East Lake is second to the ocean for me
now, too. If someone is an oceanfront buyer, they
might want to be on East Lake Drive.
Lets say I want sunset views off my back porch
that rival those of the Montauket. Whats it
going to cost me, at the bare minimum?
Tough to compare anything with the Montauket view,
but for anything comparable, its going to be north of
$2 million.
If I have a million to spend on a Montauk starter
home, where should I look to invest?
There are some great options in the G Streets by the
golf course! We just sold 5 Gilbert for $940K, four
bedrooms and a half acre. You can get a place in
Culloden for less than $1 million. Theres little
pockets of each part of town where you can still
get something for less than $1 million. You just have
to be patient.

Is it true that you got your start in shoes?
When I graduated from FIT, I hated sewing and could
barely make a pattern. I only enjoyed the creative part
of being a designer. Designing shoes didnt require
that. I worked for a company called La Piuma. The
owner used to work at Pappagallo, which means

stints in the fashion and music industries. How does one transition from which means the feather. We had our own label.
It was a junior kind of look. I also did a private label
working for John Lennon and Yoko Ono to specializing in high-end homes for Neiman Marcus and Macys with them. For years,
on the East End? Read on! I did freelance designing for different companies.
BY KRISTEN HEINZINGER I liked the creative part of it, but when things got
photography by tawni bannister too much business, I would look for a more creative
outlet. I was young and stupid enough to think that
I could keep switching careers, and I was always
able to.
How did you initially become involved in the
music industry?
I thought it would be more fun than working in a shoe
factory. It was a different time. Everything was on
a more personal level, and was easier to reach. You
could drop off your rsum and it would actually get
somewhere. And if they liked the way you looked, you
were scooted in. It wasnt the way it is now, where
you cant get past the lobby and everything is done
on the Internet. I had gone to an employment agency,
and I wanted to change careers and do something in
the entertainment business. I was offered two jobs
in the same day. One was for William Morris Agency
and the other was for Record Plant. I figured William
Morris was the better move, career-wise, but Record
Plant would be more fun. So I took the one that was
more fun.
How did you end up as a personal assistant to
John Lennon and Yoko Ono?
It was a great experience. I think my neighbors
thought I worked for an undertaker because a limo
would often pick me up and drop me off! I met them
because they were clients of Record Plant Recording
Studios. The best for me is the Imagine albummy
photo is on the inner sleeve. At that time I had just
started, so I was the evening receptionist. I eventually
grew into the studio manager.
What other roles did you play in that field?
I was the first female A&R Director for a major U.K.
label, ATV/Pye Records. I was studio manager for
Power Station. At Record Plant we had a remote
truck, which is basically a studio control room
in a truck. We got to tour with bands and do live
recording. We recorded the second inauguration
of Nixon. I would sometimes join them on the road,
and I would do a little bit of helping on the truck,
but mostly was there to order lunch. [Laughs]
Our clients included Alice Cooper, B.B. King,
Don McLean, the Raspberries, George Harrisons
Bangladesh concert. When I started, they were
working on the Woodstock concert recordings. I also
managed Power Station Studios, and there we had
Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits, and Jon Bon Jovi.

he earned studio time for his band. His uncle owned

do you think? I said, I think itll go top 10. Yes, buy
it. That was my first big hit. I think it sold 8 million
worldwide. I was in charge of mastering it here,
and I went around with the tapes to the mastering
companies and did the production. Its very different
how it sounds here than it did in London. I can get
technical on you. [Laughs] Instead of working on
the mastering of it through the large speakers at
the studio, I brought the little ones with me so that
it would sound great on those. So to this day, when
you hear that record come on the radio, you can
hear it pop out. Most people are familiar with it
from the movie Kung Fu Panda. [Laughs] There were
only three of us in the company at that time, but we
wound up selling it to Scepter Records, because we
couldnt promote or distribute it yet. We werent big
enough or old enough.
What inspired your move to the Hamptons?
I still go between my apartment in NYC and the
Hamptons; its the best of both worlds. In real estate,
one has to work weekends, and Id rather be in the
Hamptons if I have to work on a weekend. And we get
to ride horses!
Which hamlet do you live in, and why does it
appeal to you?
I live in Amagansett. Its a small hamlet with less
tumult where you can walk to the beach, the village,
and the Jitney or the LIRR.
What drew you to this line of work?
It provides a lot of freedom in terms of when you
work, though you end up working all the time. It
gave me the flexibility to live in the city and work
in the Hamptons on the weekends, and split my
time between the two. It also was a thing where if I
needed to take off, as a single mother of a daughter
who showed in horse shows, I could be flexible. I
also really love architecture and design, and the art
in that. You work with people who sometimes rely
on you for your direction on what to build. I work
with spec builders, giving them direction of whats
in fashion architecturally. I also help people, when I
show them a house, to figure out how they can redo
the floor planadding a wall, taking down a wall,
moving something to curate a space that works for
them. My background in art and design has helped
that way, and helped my customers to get what
theyre looking for. I pride myself on knowing what
people want when they explain it to me. I kind of
know what theyre looking for and understand what
they mean if they say they want something cool, or
modern, or good quality. I have an eye that came out
of fashion and art, and its something I can implement
in my career in real estate. All builders are frustrated
architects, and all real estate brokers are frustrated
builders. [Laughs] We like to rebuild everything.
Whats your favorite part of the job?
When I work with interesting and nice people.
What are your favorite kinds of listings?
Mid-century moderns with potential.
Which qualities do you appreciate the most in
a buyer?
Loyalty. You have an investment in each other. Youre
investing your time and energy, and are sharing with
them what takes many years to learn. Sometimes
they know exactly what they want, and sometimes
its educating them so they know to focus in on
something. I have enormous patience and I want
them to be happy in the end, so I will work with them
as long as it takes to find something. Its getting
property you want, in a location you want, at a price
youre willing to pay. Thats the trifecta. I had one
gentleman start with me at least three years ago. He
came out looking for a house in the low $800Ks and
three years later he bought a house for more than $3
million. His situation changed, he saw what was out
here, he saw what you got for your dollars. Its part
of me educating them. First time out, Ill show them
what theyre asking for, within the price point and
location they want. But then Ill show them what they
want and tell them what they actually have to spend.
Im not going to rush them into something theyre not
comfortable with.
Amagansett is one of your areas of focus.
Whats going on in the Lanes? Is there a bubble
of sorts, or is that area always going to be
desirable?
Because it offers the best of all worlds, I imagine
that it will always be desirable. One can arrive on
the Jitneyafter watching a movie, working on their
computer, or sleepingthen walk to their home, as
well as a private residents-only ocean beach at Indian
Wells. Its great when you have company or kids; the
Lanes offers autonomyno need to chauffeur them
around. With most parcels around a half acre, one
can build a substantial residence with a large pool
and often accessory structures (garage, pool house,
shed).
Given your music background, where are your
favorite places to buy and hear music in the
Hamptons?
In Amagansett, theres a place called Innersleeve
Records, and it has new product as well as a lot
of vintage. Its old school, where you flip through
the albums and can look at the covers. As far as
hearing music, you have The Stephen Talkhouse,
and for classical music, you can go to Wlffer Estate
Vineyards for music outdoors.
Whats the best concert youve ever attended on
the East End?
Paul Simon at Deep Hollow Ranch in Montauk.
