DESIGNER'S DOORWAY

Cindy Greene

What prompted you to trash six bags of clothes?
CG: I BROUGHT THINGS TO CONSIGNMENT SHOPS. ANYTHING TOO EIGHTIES, ANYTHING THAT DIDN’T FIT. I’M REALLY PROUD THAT I QUIT SMOKING, BUT GAINED WEIGHT. I HAD STRIPED MICRO MINIS, FOR TEENAGE GIRLS.
What is one item in your closet you would never ever discard?
CG: A TINY STUDDED LEATHER JACKET THAT I THRIFTED IN BOSTON 100 YEARS AGO. I’M GOING TO BE CREMATED HOWEVER, SO I WON’T BE TAKING IT TO THE GRAVE.
So that’s the “piece de resistance.” Any other keepers?
(CINDY PULLS A SEXY YSL BLACK DRESS, `SHOCKING PINK’ FROCK, AND GRAY LIBERTINE SWEATER.)
The sweater has a crystal embedded noose on it. What’s the symbolism?
CG: IT'S THE BEAUTIFUL SIDE. IT MEANS SUICIDE, THE CONTEMPLATION. IT'S CREATING CONTRAST BETWEEN MACABRE AND SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, HAPPY AND SAD. I WOULD WEAR IT WITH JEANS OR A BLACK PENCIL SKIRT. THE SWEATER IS CASHMERE WITH SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS.
IT'S THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW SOMETHING GOES FROM FINE ART TO FINE CLOTHING. THE GRAPHIC IS BY ATHENA RAZO. SHE'S AN ACTRESS/ARTIST. I SAID, "THAT'S AN AMAZING LIBERTINE GRAPHIC, CAN I USE IT?"
Define your "grown up" closet in terms of genre.
IT'S HALF CASUAL DRESSES; A QUARTER COCKTAIL; AND A QUARTER BLOUSES
(CINDY PULLS TWO INTRICATE SHEER LACE DRESSES. SHE TELLS ME THAT SHE GO AT DKNY WHEN SHE AS CORPORATE APPAREL DESIGN DIRECTOR, ALMOST A DECADE AGO.)
Do you ever plan out your wardrobe?
CG: WHEN I TRAVEL. THE KEY, FROM THIS CAPRICORN IS WORK OUT YOUR CLOTHES AHEAD OF TIME AND THEN YOU ROLL THEM INTO A BAG. THAT'S HOW YOU CAN DO IT. IT TAKES LONGER TO PACK BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT TO WEAR EACH DAY. I PACKED TWENTY PIECES FOR A TEN-DAY TRIP IN ITALY: MILAN, ROME, AND FLORENCE WITH ONE SMALL BAG.

I WORE THESE FLAT BOOTS IN GRAY. I PACKED THEM WITH TWO DRESSES, ONE PAIR OF HEELS, ONE PAIR OF JEANS, AND A BLACK COAT THAT I WORE THE WHOLE TIME. IT'S LIGHT SO I COULD LAYER IT. COAT IS TOP SHOP, FROM OPENING CEREMONY. I WENT IN FEBRUARY, WHICH I DON'T RECOMMEND. TRAVEL BAG IS FROM SWISS ARMY, THE PERFECT BAG IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MANSERVANT. IT DOUBLES AS A BACKPACK.
I’ve got a grown up closet now.
