How do you mix business with pleasure when there are so many worthwhile distractions here?
It seems easy for us to avoid distraction because we find pleasure in what we do. We love going to auctions. And “date night” generally means staying in the store late with a six pack to re-merchandise the store.
Who are your style icons?
For men’s style: Jack at J.Crew.
For interiors: Juniper Tedhams.
For art: Courtney Johnson and William Cundiff Logan.
For everything under the sun: Porter and Hollister Hovey.
If you had to choose one quality that unifies all the items you choose for Holler & Squall, what would it be?
Timeless.
What collections or product lines are you most excited about in 2013?
We are scheduled to attend a huge European antique auction coming up in just a couple weeks. The catalogue is FILLED with perfect turn-of-the-century armchairs, some stripped down to the original muslin, others in jewel-one mohair velvets. If we don’t come home with at least two van loads, we will be disappointed.
So many beautiful things are made in Brooklyn every day... But is there any one type of item that's missing, that you'd like to see local artisans tackle?
If we could think of that, it would be our next store!
