Cover star Whitney Peak of Gossip Girl fame takes demi-couture to the streets of New York. Sporting a cream Chanel Métiers d’Art look at one of the world’s busiest zebra crossings, Peak brings new meaning to the words “uptown chic”. To recreate her look, start with a piece that gives a long and lean silhouette, such as a column dress or a pencil skirt, and top it with a robe-like coat or outerwear. Opt for details such as gilded buttons or plush textures to nail the season’s touch-of-luxe trend, then finish with modern heirloom bling, just like any respectable Upper East Sider would.
