A Dress Like That | Moda Operandi

Dress Like That,

Women Like This

Our new series asks Moda’s inspiring community of shoppers to choose the one dress that defines their style—and why. From legendary interior designer Brigette Romanek (she counts Beyoncé and Jay-Z as clients) to NYC-based Gagosian gallery director and mother Sarah Hoover and Port-au-Prince-born plastic surgeon and wellness expert Dr. Shirley Madhere—get to know them here with the help of a few fun, telling probes.

MEET BRIGETTE ROMANEK

“Fashion and design touch the same places in my heart [...] A love letter to yourself.”

MEET TRACY ROBBINS

“My identity is not 'only' being a mama. I still love all the fabulous things outside of motherhood.”

MEET SARAH HOOVER

“My style is hyperbolically feminine and as short as is legal minus another inch.”

“Beauty to me is an individualistic sense of total satisfaction with whom one is and the confidence to radiate that outwardly with truth, compassion, and love.”

DR. SHIRLEY MADHERE
