FASHION DESIGNER GABRIELA HEARST
SHARES A FEW OF HER FAVORITE THINGS
my st yle
TOP HAT
For summer, I like
hats from the Italian brand
Borsalino. Borsalino hat,
$2,185; borsalino.com.
REAL GEM
We make limited-edition
rings in gold with stones like
lapis lazuli and malachite, and
I wear them all the time.
Gabriela Hearst ring,
$5,000; gabrielahearst.com.
POWER OUTFIT
I’m most comfortable
in a blazer and pants from
my collection. You’re
never underdressed or
overdressed in a suit.
MUST-READ
I just finished The
Uninhabitable
Earth: Life After
Warming, by David
Wallace-Wells. It’s
a good wake-up
call to understand
the reality of what’s
going on with
climate change.
WINNING MEAL
In New York, my two
favorite restaurants are
Sant Ambroeus and Café
Altro Paradiso [pictured].
At Sant Ambroeus, I’ll
get the artichoke salad
or cacio e pepe. And
I love everything from
Café Altro.
Signature
Scent
A friend gave me this
Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat
perfume. I’m obsessed
with it. Maison Francis
Kurkdjian Baccarat
Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum,
$300/2.4 fl. oz.;
neimanmarcus.com.
Peace of Mind
I do 20 minutes of transcendental
meditation every day. When I first started,
I used Muse, a headband that reads frequencies
in your brain. It connects to an app on your phone
that guides you through your meditation. Muse 2
meditation device, $249; choosemuse.com.
Ranch
Life
Everything is very
unfussy and calm
at my ranch in
Uruguay. I spend
time with my family
and the animals.
There’s a lot of
eating, riding horses,
and just hanging out.
ON-THE-GO
ESSENTIAL
When I travel, I use the
Vevers tote in black
as my carry-on.
Gabriela Hearst tote,
$2,495; gabriela

CLASSIC SHADES
I like vintage sunglasses.
I’m currently wearing a
pair of Steve McQueen
Persols. It’s the style that
COLLECTOR’S ITEM
I try to keep inspiring
objects around me, and
nothing’s more inspiring
than nature. I have
geodes on my desk—
amethysts that my
mother brought from
Uruguay and pieces of
malachite and asterite.
They’re the best for
color reference.

AGENT OF CHANGE
Few artists understand the
need for science and the arts
to work together, but Dustin
Yellin is one of them. What he’s
doing with his own art and his
cultural center, Pioneer Works,
is courageous and important.
