WO RT H F LY ING F OR : RETRO SNEAKERS IN PARIS
Imagine the classic Converse Jack Purcell tennis shoe designed by French
people—less bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, more sleek and subdued.
Conceived in by Georges Grimmeisen, the tennis-loving son of a Parisian
rubber manufacturer, the Spring Court canvas sneaker became a chic totem
in the s, when John Lennon wore a pair on the cover of Abbey Road.
Today it comes in both high- and low-top versions and in a range of muted
colours and fabrics, including twill, Lurex, and goatskin, beginning at
around `. Spring Courts are difficult to find in US
stores, and there are fans who never visit Paris
without a trip to the company’s boutique,
housed in the Grimmeisens’ original
rubber factory in the Belleville
neighbourhood. springcourt.com
SPOTLIGHT:
THE WEBSTER
The six-storey shop in
SoHo blends New York
glamour with South
Beach pizzazz (pink
terrazzo floors, a life-size
bronze flamingo). But it’s
the surprising mix of
designer threads that
captures the imagination.
Yeezy sweatshirts are
juxtaposed with Lisa
Marie Fernandez
sundresses and Isa Arfen
cropped floral trousers,
while the Art Deco–
inspired shoe salon
carries platform
Vetements boots and
Gucci pool slides. For the
ultimate VIP treatment,
opt for a blowout at the
fifth-floor David Mallett
salon. thewebster.us
SoHo/West Village/
East Village
It’s two blocks from the
Webster to the Apartment
by the Line
(theline.com),
one of my favourite
boutiques. It’s well curated
by my friend Vanessa
Traina, and I can always
count on leaving with a
pair of Khaite jeans and
an assortment of Rodin
face oils. I have a four-
year-old son, so Trico Field
(tricofi eld.net), a children’s
clothing store on West
Broadway, is another
go-to. It carries things
you can’t fi nd elsewhere:
patchwork jeans, thick-
gauge sweaters, and
T-shirts with surprising
details like a funky trim or
paint splotches.
I like to break up a day
of shopping with a stop for
juice or a salad at Clover
Grocery
(clovergrocery.
com), an upscale sister
market to Café Clover in
the West Village. It sells
tru ed honey and spiced
popcorn. If I’m in the
East Village, I stop at John
Derian Co
(johnderian.

ceramics, candles,
and other beautiful
gifts, then Metropolis
(metropolisvintageonline.

T-shirts and sweatshirts.

th
Street feels like a fashion
funhouse. It has ever-
changing art installations
and an amazing collection
of jewellery. I never leave
without having a slice of
lemon-polenta cake at
Rose Bakery on the
ground fl oor.
Upper East Side
After that little pick-me-up,
I’m ready to head uptown
to the

East 71

end clothing boutique is
set inside a glorious, three-
storey town house and
has the most incredible
rotating art collection.
In addition to elegant,
impeccably cut pieces,
it has a small but strong
vintage selection. From
there, I like to pop in to
Creel & Gow (creelandgow.

between Park and
Lexington Avenues. My
friend Jamie Creel is a
world traveller and avid
collector, and I’ve been
fortunate to accompany
him on shopping trips to
Mozambique, Spain, and
Egypt. I’m in awe of the
one-of-a-kind objects he
turns up, from ceramics
and taxidermy to tiles and
precious stones.

Arandu (arandu.com.ar),
only a few blocks away.
It has everything related
to gaucho and polo culture,
like saddles, bridles,
carpincho leather vests
made from the skin of
the capybara, brightly
coloured woven belts once
popular with the nobility,
and buckles fashioned
from silver coins.

The creator of niche fragrance line Fueguia
1833, Julian Bedel draws inspiration from
the sights and scents of his home country of
Argentina. His collection includes such heady perfumes
as Pampa Húmeda, a blend of clary sage, eucalyptus,
and oregano that evokes the wild green Pampas. Bedel’s
business is based in Milan, but he was born and raised in

based around his boutique in tony Recoleta, others in
neighbouring districts —who most excite him.

Paul French Gallery (pauldeco.com)
is the perfect place to pause while
roaming the city. Paul brings
together furniture, textiles, design
objects, art, and wines from local

The shop has the spirit of a home,
the soul of a gallery, and the heart
of a bazaar. Nearby is Ricardo Paz

Arandu (arandu.com.ar),

It has everything related
to gaucho and polo culture,
like saddles, bridles,

popular with the nobility,
and buckles fashioned
from silver coins.

KIMONOS IN BERLIN
The city’s thrift-store scene is legendary, but if you
don’t have the time for a treasure hunt, Rianna
Nektaria Kounou and Nina Knaudt have done the
work for you. For their clothing line, Rianna & Nina,
the pair use rare, exotically patterned silk textiles
sourced from around the world to create vintage-
inspired coat and pant sets, kimonos, and tiered
dresses; prices start around `,. The collection
can be found at Rianna in Berlin, Kounou’s shop in
the Mitte district, alongside vintage ready-to-wear,
jewellery, and accessories. riannainberlin.com

Recoleta Cemetery, my longtime

sculptural, gold-and-silver-

His pendants are shaped like
condors, arrowheads, and snakes.
I appreciate his authenticity and
his focus on a single idea—he
takes inspiration from the Andes.
Palermo Soho
Paul French Gallery (pauldeco.com)
is the perfect place to pause while
roaming the city. Paul brings
together furniture, textiles, design
objects, art, and wines from local

The shop has the spirit of a home,
the soul of a gallery, and the heart
of a bazaar. Nearby is Ricardo Paz

corners of Argentina, Paz’s antique
pieces speak the universal language
of simple design and the varieties of

in one product—sometimes in a

Entire floors are dedicated to
greeting cards, diaries,
