My muses: "I love the movie stars and pinups from the '30s, '40s, and '50s. Rita Hayworth in Gilda is a favorite. I have dyed my hair red on several occasions because of her."

My style: "I am nostalgic for a time when fashion was glamorous, but also had a sense of humorand a hint of surrealism. Women used to wear sober outfits but wouldn't leave the house without a spectacular hat, gloves, matching shoes and stockings. Classic silhouettes are the perfect backdrop for more elaborate accessories."

DRESS $2,600, Bottega Veneta; (212) 371-5511.

Spring inspiration: "The collection is a clichéd and romantic view of Paris from an outsider's perspective, including all the obvious objects and landmarks that come to mind — perfumes, poodles, the Eiffel Tower."
