This week’s style diary guest is Maggie Norris, a fashion designer formerly with Ralph Lauren who is also fortunate to have once dressed the legendary Audrey Hepburn. Maggie Norris’s very distinctive personal style, as well as her company, Maggie Norris Couture, reflects her love of horses.
Sibylle Eschapasse: Describe your style?
Maggie Norris: My style is very eclectic and reflects my equestrian past. Daily, I enjoy jodhpurs, riding jackets, and English riding boots with my Marlene Optique sunglasses. I am very fortunate to be able to wear my own couture and incorporate it with historical American-Indian antiques, such as my turquoise concho and military jackets.
Ms. Eschapasse: If a close friend were to describe your personality in three words, what would they be?
Ms. Norris: I believe they would be caring, passionate, and open.
Ms. Eschapasse: How did your style evolve since you were a teenager?
Ms. Norris: I had my own horses growing up, so I always loved the equestrian style. If anything I have incorporated more antique jewelry and couture jackets, but I still stick to an equestrian look for my day-to-day style.
