The Colombian-American editor's devastatingly chic international style feels just as expertly edited as the glossy pages of her magazine.
The "Elle" EIC and longtime "Project Runway" judge also shares where you can cop her gently worn designer goods.Author:Fawnia Soo HooUpdated:Mar 6, 2020Original:Mar 6, 2020We all buy clothes, but no two people shop the same. It can be a social experience, and a deeply personal one; at times, it can be impulsive and entertaining, at others, purpose-driven, a chore.
The Colombian-American editor's devastatingly chic international style feels just as expertly edited as the glossy pages of her magazine. As Garcia famously said on the second season of "Project Runway": "Pretty can be boring." She prides herself in holding onto her "classic" staples, but adding her own personal twist, as she'll explain below.
"I have a bunch of pieces that I consider my wardrobe staples: a sharp jacket or a light button-down shirt or a knit cashmere sweater, an A-line skirt or a tuxedo for evening. Then, I will mix in something very fashionable or very surprising. Maybe it's with the accessory or shoe. Or it's an embellished skirt or jacket. But it's very important when you wear clothing, to make it your own, so that it doesn't speak for you.
"There's an Alaïa coat with fringe that I've had for awhile that I want to break out again. I have a lot of Alaïa pieces. [The designer Azzedine Alaïa] passed away in 2017, so maybe those are ready to be taken out again. "I like to shop online, but I also like to shop in the stores. I do a lot of Net-a-Porter, Matchesfashion, Mytheresa. But then I also work a few blocks away from Nordstrom — and I enjoy their new restaurants — and I go shopping in their shoe bar. I love Bergdorf Goodman. It's just such a delight of a store. I'm also a huge fan of Saks Fifth Avenue.
