I was honored to take part in a personal discussion, reflecting on my journey through my career, motherhood, and identity.
Together with Rabbi Deena Silverstone and 55 extraordinary women at Locanda Verde in Tribeca, we spoke openly about complexities of ambition, selfhood, Jewish identity, and motherhood.
It was deeply meaningful to sit in front of women and share my experience—how I pursued myself, discovered the talent I was given, and built a life and career with conviction and purpose.
Beyond inspiring women how to dress, I hope to inspire women to find their own journey in life. To trust their instincts, pursue what moves them, and allow themselves the freedom to become who they are meant to be.
I reflected on accomplishment, reinvention, confidence, aging, and what it means to continue evolving at every stage of life. These conversations matter to me. Sharing experience, vulnerability, and strength with one another is how we empower women to pursue themselves fully.
Summer ‘26 takes shape in one-of-a-kind crochet, handmade through up to 15 days of traditional Peruvian artistry. Born on the island of Amantaní in the high Andes, AMANTANI began as a vision to support women artisans—now a movement empowering over 150 makers through dignified work, training, and craft.
Welcome the sun in crochet that carries resilience, skill, and hope—an expression of culture, community, and care.
I’ve always loved the idea of uniform—pieces you return to instinctively. Styled with denim, the Howard Overshirt gives the look an effortless rock and roll attitude. Shop the uniform of denim and utility at 183 Duane.
I look at myself at 29, and I remember how little I knew. I had just become a mother. I was full of love, but also full of questions. I didn’t know where I was going. I didn’t have a plan. But I had something stronger—an instinct to keep moving forward. My mother taught me that it was possible to be present, loving, and devoted—and still pursue something of your own. She believed it, even if she didn’t fully get to live it. So I carried that with me. Motherhood became my foundation, not my limit. It gave me purpose, but it didn’t take away my need to grow. There is no perfect balance. There is only commitment—to your children, and to yourself. You don’t need to know everything at the beginning. You just need to trust that you’re becoming. Less fear. More faith. You will get where you’re meant to go.
I like to surprise myself on my birthday. This April, I made no plans—until I did. Spontaneously, I followed a feeling to the Marche region in Italy, where we manufacture. I had never been, didn’t know what to expect, and that was the point. I got on a plane with David. We booked a hotel, found a driver, and let it unfold. Beautiful dinners, local food and wine, the landscape, the factory visit—seeing something we’ve been building take shape coming very soon. On the way back, we spent a night in Rome. We had the best time, and then home to New York. Sometimes the best celebrations are the ones you don’t plan at all.
