In fact, all of the fashionable characters featured this month represent an intriguing life chapter. Groundbreaking model Winnie Harlow’s first home in Los Angeles, created with AD100 designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, is a sexy, luxurious lair befitting her glamour and success. AD100 designer Andre Mellone conceived his sleek, sophisticated Manhattan penthouse not only for himself but as a pied-à-terre for his extended family. Also in New York City, Rebecca Hessel Cohen, founder of fashion and lifestyle megabrand LoveShackFancy, embarked on an ambitious town house renovation to create a residence that literally epitomizes the ultraromantic, feminine style of her hit brand. And, representing another turning of the page, well-known New Yorkers Lauren and Richard Dupont share the dreamy Connecticut house and garden that enticed them away from city life. Lauren confesses that it could, in fact, be her forever home: “I just love it.” End of story!
