What are some of your favorite AvA pieces and when and where do you wear them?
I’ll wear the Kathe Dress in Queen Palm to polo unbuttoned, over white jeans and a t-shirt. The Joan Poncho in Calathea goes with me to the beach with gladiator sandals and lots of jewelry. The Gala Wrap which I wear as a headwrap Talitha Getty style with BIG sunglasses while driving my jeep with the top off!
How do you style AvA? Are there certain items you pair together? Do you have pieces you pair with other components of your wardrobe?
Many times I style AvA with a 70’s twist...I love the inspiration from that period with Veruschka and Marisa Berenson. That translates as print on print! Head to toe! It makes a statement, for example the Agnes tank top + Elaine Pant + Gala Wrap scarf worn dangling down my back and in the same print! I wear the ponchos and kaftans...Rachel Poncho + Joan Poncho + Gala wrap around my head! The Camille Dress in Jaipur reminds me of Marisa Berenson, long and lean with floating silk behind it teamed with oversize bold gold 70’s earrings! White jeans are the key wardrobe builder from my closet, it makes everything look more casual yet super chic especially against the incredible AvA prints!
Given the world we're living in now, why is AvA such an integral part of your life and wardrobe?
I want to simplify everything! I want clothes that work well together and are effortless! Unique prints and shapes are important to me so that it reflects my personal style.
What do you have your eyes on as a future AvA must-have?
Honestly must-have should be rephrased to "haves." I don't let any grass grow under these shopping feet! So in my "hope chest" is the Candice Kaftan in Nicotiana and the fringe belt from the Rita dress that I’ll wear as a neck wrap.
