P H OTO BY A N DY Z A L K I N ( A M B R O S E ) ; C O U R T E S Y O F R A N D C O M PA N Y (G R EG O R Y ) ; C O U R T E S Y O F T H E B R A N D S style setter What's your daily uniform? I love sweatpants and a blazer—mixing athletic with structure is my thing. If I'm wearing something sporty, then I pair it with something sophisticated, like a ballet flat with a sweatpant. If I'm wearing sneakers, I'm wearing it with a trouser. I love a Toteme blazer—I'm also passionate about Margiela. What do you wear while in the field? I like to be comfy and chic. I always need a comfortable pair of shoes—I love a tennis sneaker. Naturalizer makes a really good sneaker, the Lorena Lace Up. The Row has a pair of loafers that I love. I have these sweaters by Lauren Manoogian, they are my favorite. She has these really great French terry and cotton terry crewnecks that I'm obsessed with. What are some recent purchases you're most excited about? My Phoebe Philo Small Kit Cabas bag. Phoebe Philo is killing it right now on the quiet luxury side—so good. And, I live in Sacai. There's a lot of Sacai in my closet because every piece is so dramatic. It has attitude. I love when designers think that way. How about bags? The Loewe medium Madrid bag. And then, I mean, we all need a Bottega [Veneta] bag in our lives. I like the large Andiamo tote. What are your favorite statement-making pair of shoes? I bought Margiela's Tabi cowboy boots. They look great. We're in a cowboy era. You're on the road a lot. What's your go-to suitcase? Rimowa trunks. I like to stand on my suitcases and dance. Favorite fragrances? Santa Maria Novella's Melograno. I've been wearing it for years. I don't like commercial fragrances. There's something about this scent... I do the bath wash, the soap, and the oil. I'm an Apothecary-holic, but this is really one of my faves. Where in the world are you eager to visit? I really want to go to India to explore textiles and woven work. It's on my bucket list. What's your go-to travel outfit? It's definitely not a onesie. I like nice track pants, a button-down shirt, a blazer, or an oversized cardigan. I always like to look the part when getting on a plane. Favorite finds for the home? I have this Rogan Gregory coffee table that we purchased when we remodeled our New York apartment. He creates functional sculptural pieces for the home that are just incredible. It's really one of my favorite pieces in the apartment. What's your go-to hat brand? There are two of them: Esenshel by Rodney Patterson and then there's Khia Tullaé. They'll custom block anything for me. Rodney has a great existing block that's just really over the top, eccentric—you know, oversized. These two milliners get me! If Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, and Mary J. Blige trust June Ambrose with their looks, we'll take a page from her book any day. Professional Opinion Ambrose's creative signature remains unmistakable.
