This interior designer also has crazy style - voila! Fashion

Athena Calderon is an interior designer, author, chef and inspirational style maven who runs the million-following Instagram account EyeSwoon.

Hailed by The New York Times as "the Martha Stewart of the younger generation," Calderon exudes a desirable aesthetic wherever she is.

Whether through her elegant "town house" in Brooklyn, New York, which was documented in respected magazines such as Architectural Digest, Vogue and Glamor, in the design books she published, in the photographed cooking sessions (with Meghan Markle, for example), or through her house brand EyeSwoon in which she curates and sells decorative objects according to the desired taste.

Beyond all the beauty that surrounds her surroundings, Athena, 48, shares her intriguing abode with her partner Victor Calderon, a reputed DJ who has worked in collaboration with artists such as Madonna, Sting, Beyoncé or Whitney Houston, and with their common son Giovan.

As someone who has established her position as one of today's leading chic designers, including a lifestyle that takes place between the music scene and the world of design, it is not surprising to find that her fine taste flows from the limits of the living spaces to the wardrobe area as well.

Which, in two words, is carefully reasoned.

As a character who is exposed on a regular basis on the social platform, Calderon curates her feed in harmony and chooses to be photographed in items that echo the same design language that glorifies textures and sophisticated silhouettes in classic shades of black, white, stone, butter and denim.

Among the outstanding looks, you can find a black maxi dress by Khaite, which she wears in the picture next to her husband against the background of the white wardrobe, a cut-out dress revealing a side bob by Jason Wu photographed against the background of a space in cream tones or a black crocheted dress with floral embroidery from Oscar de La Renta adapted to the pastoral atmosphere in the bedroom.

In the Out Dor photos there is also a Chanel outfit with which she walked towards the couture show held at the Grand Palais about two months ago and a cut-out dress with a polka dot print designed by the resort label Matteau.

"When I work from home or have fun in the kitchen, I usually walk around barefoot, wearing jeans and a button-down shirt. When I go out into the world, I use fashion as a form of expression, but at home, I stick to the basics," she said in an interview with Porter magazine from Net-a-Porta.

There she also elaborated on her fashion worldview: "I think everyone needs a beautifully tailored blazer in their closet. I'm very aware that if I'm going to invest in a piece of fashion, it has to be something I'll wear for many years - and in a variety of ways. I'm also a big fan of the poplin shirt Classic, a great tee, high-waisted pants and black pumps - they are an excellent basis for a mix and match."

Later, she gives another tip: "I always play with contrasts; I think that's what makes everything really interesting - from a plate of food to a design scheme to an outfit. If I'm wearing something incredibly feminine and beautiful, I'll always add a rough edge that will make the look feel my own." .

What was less emphasized in that article, was her fondness for designer items of the very expensive kind, which make the craft of dressing privileged from its inception.

In the same interview, she also shared her opinion about accessories: "Now that I'm a little older and established, I can invest more in jewelry, and slowly I'm starting to build a collection. I think it's really interesting to take jewelry and style it in your own way; personally, I like pieces that Can wear from morning to night. When it comes to a good bag, I like shoulder bags that aren't too big, but can still hold all the essentials, like my phones and chargers."

Finally, she concluded: "Great design, whether it's in the home or in fashion, is like a kind of magic. When you put two things together and they really work together, it's an exciting moment and carries a special kind of energy. If you wear something you don't feel comfortable in 100 percent, it affects what you transmit to the world. Beauty raises your energy, raises your mood, and I don't think there's any reason to apologize for that."

Cut and save.
