DESIGNER'S DOORWAY

IN THIS FEATURE: Meet Cindy Fashion Focus Details

Do you ever plan out your wardrobe?

CG: WHEN I TRAVEL. THE KEY, FROM THIS CAPRICORN IS WORK OUT YOUR CLOTHES AHEAD OF TIME AND THEN YOU ROLL THEM INTO A BAG. THAT'S HOW YOU CAN DO IT. IT TAKES LONGER TO PACK BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT TO WEAR EACH DAY. I PACKED TWENTY PIECES FOR A TEN-DAY TRIP IN ITALY: MILAN, ROME, AND FLORENCE WITH ONE SMALL BAG.

I WORE THESE FLAT BOOTS IN GRAY. I PACKED THEM WITH TWO DRESSES, ONE PAIR OF HEELS, ONE PAIR OF JEANS, AND A BLACK COAT THAT I WORE THE WHOLE TIME. IT'S LIGHT SO I COULD LAYER IT. COAT IS TOP SHOP, FROM OPENING CEREMONY. I WENT IN FEBRUARY, WHICH I DON'T RECOMMEND. TRAVEL BAG IS FROM SWISS ARMY, THE PERFECT BAG IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MANSERVANT. IT DOUBLES AS A BACKPACK.

I packed twenty pieces for a ten-day trip in Italy: Milan, Rome, and Florence, with one small bag.

What’s the BIG graphic coat?

CG: FROM NAGI NODA, ARTIST/COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR. THE ANIMALS ARE JAPANESE CHARACTERS. IT’S HUGE, TOO BIG FOR ME, SILK. IF SHE HAS AN IDEA, SHE MAKES IT. SHE’D MAKE A HOT AIR BALLOON. WE MET AT A VIDEO FAIR IN TOKYO THREE YEARS AGO. I DID A VIDEO CALLED “ALL IN THE GOLDEN AFTERNOON.” IT WAS VIDEO OF NEW YORK TAKEN FORM THE PERSPECTIVE OF RIDING ON A BIKE.

If you could change one thing about your closet, what would it be?

CG: I'D MAKE IT 4 TIMES BIGGER.
