From $225 Pants to $690 Flip-Flops: If Lauren Santo Domingo Recommends It, Fashion People Will Order It


Lauren Santo Domingo has one of the most coveted wardrobes in fashion. Whether it’s Chanel couture on the red carpet at the Met Gala or a pantsuit from The Frankie Shop for New York Fashion Week, her looks always carry a cool confidence and sense of ease. She also knows how women want to dress and what they’ll buy. What she recommends sells, whether it’s $225 striped pants from up-and-coming designer La Veste or $690 flip-flops from The Row. In a world where anyone can call themselves a tastemaker, Santo Domingo’s exquisite taste has proven she deserves the title.

For summer, Santo Domingo has had a hand in cultivating what the fashion set will be wearing with the launch of the Club Moda Riviera capsule, a collection inspired by the glittering charm of a summer on the Mediterranean. “To me, it’s all about nonchalant glamour with an air of nostalgia and a touch of hedonism,” she shares with Who What Wear. “Think, What would people be wearing if Slim Aarons were photographing today?” Like much of fashion is right now, she is looking to the past and what vacation attire looked like in the golden age of travel.
