102. Fifty Shades of White: Calvin Klein in the Hamptons
Alastair Gordon talks to legendary fashion designer Calvin Klein about creating a Hamptons beach house for himself. Calvin describes the long and painstaking process of collaboration he went through to create his own minimalist sanctuary on a sweeping ocean-front property in Southampton, NY. In the process, he treated every surface and material with the same intense attention to detail he used in his collections. As Calvin says in the podcast, “If I hadn’t been a fashion designer, I would have become an architect.”
Host: Alastair Gordon
Guest: Calvin Klein
With Edwina Von Gal (landscape designer), Fred Stelle (architect), and Michael Lomont (architect).
