Timo Weiland
Creative Director, Timo Weiland. New York
Born in rural Nebraska and raised between New York City and Jacksonville, Florida, Timo Weiland is hands down, one of our favorite gents. Before his career in fashion took off, he majored in economics, Spanish literature and business management and minored in vocal performance at Vanderbilt University before heading back to New York and picking up the sewing machine to launch his line. We ventured inside his West Village walkup, the epitome of a unique downtown space. His home is like a magical museum with his mother-made needlepoint and surfboards for his Montauk weekend escapes on display. Oh, and our favorite item from his N.Y.C digs? An antique telephone booth from across the pond. But that thing’s not for phone calls—he uses it to house his favorite shoes from Gucci and Lanvin to Vivienne Westwood and Stubbs & Wootton (almost all of which he wears sans socks!) We think we like that better anyways…
