Layers are important in San Francisco, as the weather changes throughout the day. I love to wear knits from Brunello Cucinelli or a bodysuit from Wolford with a wool coat or Chanel jacket and boots from Celine. What are some of your favorite boutiques at Bal Harbour Shops? I love visiting Saks and Neiman Marcus, but also enjoy Santa Maria Novella for skincare products, and Couture Kids for fun clothing for my children. What are some fashion pieces or trends that you are most excited about? I tend to wear skirts or trousers by Dries Van Noten throughout the summer and dresses by Chloé or Zimmermann. How would you describe your personal style? Minimal, low effort, black. I gravitate towards structure and sculptural qualities. Saint Laurent is one of my favorite brands. What is your go-to outfit for work? Do you have a uniform? Jeans are a big part of my work wardrobe as I tend to be in many environments throughout the day, from a job site to the studio. I wear wide-legged Celine or Paige boot cut, a Saint Laurent leather jacket, and sneakers. What are your go-to shoes for day and night? I like sneakers during the day for running around or platform shoes by Stella McCartney, and at night, Saint Laurent boots. What is your favorite beach ensemble? A flowing caftan or crochet shorts by Zimmermann over a simple one-piece suit, a Prada crochet bucket bag, slides, and Ray Ban sunglasses. What are some other accessories or items that you are coveting for summer? A Loewe tote bag, Bottega Veneta slides, and a Prada bucket hat. What type of jewelry do you love? I don't wear a lot of jewelry, but my favorite pieces are a Cartier stainless-steel Tank watch, Tiffany & Co. diamond stud earrings, and an Elsa Peretti Bone cuff. Go-to luggage? A Rimowa roller bag. What are some design trends that you are loving right now, and where do you see them at the Shops? Quiet luxury is on everyone's radar, and has been a foundation of my work for a long time. This includes the following principles: high quality, excellent craftsmanship, and precision in design. Michael Aram's work resonates with this ethos of craft and artistry. Frette is synonymous with luxury. I use their bedding and home furnishings in many of my projects. What is your favorite housewarming gift? A scented candle or travel book by Assouline. What are your summer travel plans? I'm planning to visit Provence this summer with my family. We are looking forward to visiting Chateau LaCoste and seeing the Collection Lambert. STYLE SETTERS Nicole Hollis INTERIOR DESIGNER Although acclaimed interior designer Nicole Hollis has long been associated with San Francisco—the city she has called home for more than 20 years—it is actually her childhood in Jupiter, Florida, that informs much of her creative process. "Being near the ocean is an important part of my work," says Hollis, who launched her eponymous firm in 2002. "The vastness of the open sea and sky give room for pause, which is a feeling I explore often." These days, when Hollis isn't spending time with her husband and business partner, Lewis Heathcote, and their two children at their homes in SF or on the Big Island of Hawaii, she can be found working on projects in idyllic destinations from Montecito and Atherton, California, to Montana and Wyoming. "Modern with a focus on craft and fine art" is how Hollis likes to describe her own personal aesthetic, which is a common thread that can be found throughout her designs, as well as her fashion choices. Here, a few of her favorite things. —AMANDA EBERSTEIN PORTR AIT BY L AURE JOLIET than of California, Etro slip-on available Couture dress when you are home home with home Go-to A Rimowa What are you Quiet has a long principles: craftsmanship, Michael ethos synonymous bedding of What gift?
