WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
“Politics, literature, surfing and great clothes”
Let’s take a moment to dwell on that last bit – she’s a woman of incredible personal style whose approach to fashion is more similar to that of a brilliant curator and art history guru than it is mere shopper. She’s a careful collector of incredible design and craftsmanship, and wears clothes to articulate her own brand of power, intelligence and strength.
When we had the chance to visit with Suzanne and see for ourselves how she blends classic and vintage pieces with the best of the new season, we jumped at it. And, we’re thrilled to be able to share this inside view of her life and style.

“
WHICH DESIGNERS INSPIRES YOU THE MOST AND WHY?
“Dries Van Noten makes me dream. His multi-culti world beat point of view is transportive and pieces from each season always integrate so easily into the ones prior. Everything he does is so full of artistry and soulful.”
