Unapologetic
It is a word that crops up frequently when trailblazing fashion designer Harris Reed discusses his work and life. Described as the face of fluid fashion-indeed, his book published by Abrams earlier this year is titled Fluid: A Fashion RevolutionReed and his theatrical creations may be beautiful but are much more than that. They also challenge notions of gender and spark conversations about identity and belonging. Cutting a striking figure at six feet four inches, with flowing, red-hued locks, Reed famously outfitted Harry Styles in his part-tuxedo, part-duchesse-satin ball gown ensemble in 2020 for the cover of Vogue, at just 24 years old. He has also dressed many other stars, including Adele, Iman, Sam Smith, Lil Nas X, and Beyoncé, in his glamorous creations. With such precocious talent, it is little wonder Reed was appointed creative director of French fashion house Nina Ricci two years ago.
He has extended his extravagant and yes, unapologetic approach to his home, turning the west London abode he shares with husband Eitan Senerman, founder of a design and innovation lab, into what Reed describes as a "Wes Andersonmeets-Oscar Wilde" fantasyland with a dose of English eccentricity.
A moody medley of opulent lighting, embroidered silk walls, marble floors, and embellished ceilings, the apartmenta mere 750 square feet-more than makes up for its bijou size but with eye-popping impact. "When we bought it, Eitan was like, 'Promise we'll be a bit Scandinavian, a bit minimal," Reed says with a laugh. Thankfully Senerman was quick to get on board with a more experimental approach. "It was very much about a visual exploration of individuality and not boxing ourselves into any notion of what is expected," Reed adds.

Elements of Style - Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry celebrate 10 years of artistic exploration at Hermès
Last March, Hermès brought its home universe to life in eye-popping fashion at a one-night-only extravaganza staged at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. The lavish performance featured dozens of dancers showcasing the French luxury house's furniture, tableware, textiles, and decorative objects in elaborately choreographed vignettes that seemed to riff on the unboxing ritual so popular on social media-a supersized spectacle of conjuring magic from ordinary crates. The event also coincided with the 10th anniversary of Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry's tenure as artistic directors of the Hermès home division.
