Personal Style Philosophy: Generally, I stay away from trends and invest in classic, basic pieces that I can wear for a very long time!
Favorite Brands: Isabel Marant, The Frankie Shop, Anine Bing, Frame, and Khaite.
Favorite New Brand: Covey Skin!
Best Fashion Advice You’ve Ever Been Given: Stick to investment pieces. I went through
a lot of phases of shopping at fast-fashion places, but the clothes never last and neither
do the trends. Find pieces you love, take care of them, and wear them forever!
You’d Never Be Caught Dead Wearing: Low-rise jeans.
Summer Uniform: A Réalisation Par dress.
Fashion Inspiration: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Emmanuelle Alt, Jeanne Damas.
East End Shopping Haunts: Zimmermann, Intermix, goop, and Reformation.
Digital Fashion Destination: Net-a-Porter!

Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Designer

Favorite New Brand: Amina Muaddi.
Best Fashion Advice You’ve Ever Been Given: Mix it all up—the old, new, vintage, real, and
costume.
You’d Never Be Caught Dead Wearing: Birkenstocks.
Fashion Inspiration: Carrie Bradshaw. East End Shopping Haunts: White’s Apothecary, Aerin, and Zimmermann. I love a HomeGoods moment, too!
Favorite Digital Fashion Destination: Net-a-Porter and Maisonette.
Must-Have Summer Accessory: The striped Amanda espadrille sneaker from my Nicky Hilton x French Sole collection. These 100 percent sustainable shoes pair perfectly with a white summer dress or jean shorts and a T-shirt.

Tracy Anderson, Fitness Guru

Personal Style Philosophy:  Be creative, comfortable, and conscious. Fashion is a means to express who you are—and also your values. Fast fashion is killing our environment, so make statements with where you shop.
Favorite Brands: I love Victoria Beckham, Black Iris, Loro Piana, and De Castro, which I purchase on Fashionkind, my new obsession.
Favorite New Brand: Amini bikinis are incredible! They’re also incredible for the environment!

Best Fashion Advice You’ve Ever Been Given: Free all the nipples. Permission to go unapologetically braless.
You’d Never Be Caught Dead Wearing: Real fur.
Summer Uniform: My Tracy Anderson x Year of Ours collection.
Fashion Inspiration: Cruella.
East End Shopping Haunts: Ralph Lauren, Loro Piana, Tenet, Kirna ZabРte, Quincy Davis’s shop in Montauk, and Stella & Ruby is my favorite for kids.

Personal Style Philosophy: Beach to street.
Favorite Brands: The Great, Warm NY, RE/DONE, and Tropic of C.
Favorite New Brand: Suzie Kondi.
Best Fashion Advice You’ve Ever Been Given: Quality over quantity.
You’d Never Be Caught Dead Wearing: Crocs, but also secretly want them!
Summer Uniform: Bikinis.
Fashion Inspiration: I will forever be inspired by the ocean in all ways, but there’s a real part of me that leans toward fashion. I also look to friends often. I’m surrounded by the most amazing women who share similar passions. Another huge inspiration is right on the street. Walking around Montauk or NYC is constant creative input. It’s real and authentic and I love that.
East End Shopping Haunts: Quincy Montauk, Deep Blue Vintage, and Warm.

Personal Style Philosophy: It’s not about what you’re wearing, it’s about how you wear it. Confidence is everything for a great look!
Favorite Brands: Jacquemus, The Attico, Cult Gaia, Madhappy, and Agolde.
Favorite New Brand: Brunch! You can wear its slippers with a sole out and about. I’m obsessed with the brand’s concept, and the slippers are so cute and comfy.

Personal Style Philosophy: Being in the fashion industry, I believe spending on staples is always key. Never wear something you’re not comfortable in, even if it’s trending. It will never look good!
Favorite Brands: Bottega Veneta and Chanel for key pieces this season. I like to fill the rest of my wardrobe with Re/Done, LoveShackFancy, and Isabel Marant.
Favorite New Brand: I’m loving Made in Tomboy, available at Matches. And Cult Gaia for fun summer pieces.
Best Fashion Advice You’ve Ever Been Given: If you buy something and you’re not dying to wear it, return it. My rule is if the tags are still on after a week, it’s not worth it.
You’d Never Be Caught Dead Wearing: A print with a designer logo.
Summer Uniform: My go-to summer look is a LoveShackFancy long skirt with a Johanna Ortiz bikini top and my new Chanel raffia sandals.
Fashion Inspiration: Rosie Huntington- Whiteley.
East End Shopping Haunts: Warm in Amagansett and Tenet in Southampton.

Favorite Brands: Ganni, Zimmermann, The Mayfair Group, Champion, and Moschino.
Favorite New Brand: La Detresse.
Best Fashion Advice You’ve Ever Been Given: Never be afraid to take risks with your fashion because fashion is an expression of yourself and if you wear what you feel confident in, that confidence will rub off on others. You can’t go wrong being yourself.
You’d Never Be Caught Dead Wearing: Anything khaki material.
Summer Uniform: Dress up with a two-piece set with sandals (wedge or flat) or dress down with jean shorts with a crop T-shirt and white Nike sneakers.
Fashion Inspiration: Zendaya.
East End Shopping Haunts: Intermix, because it has a bit of everything.
