ANDREA & KATIE SCHMID
These chic St. Louis sisters are making strides in the fashion industry from opposite coasts: Andrea (left) works for Vogue in Los Angeles, and Katie (right) is a model in New York City. They have similar tastes in fashion, including a shared appreciation for cool sneakers. “We’re buying the same pieces, but we’re styling them completely different,” says Andrea.
- Designers: Andrea looks to The Row, created by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. “They’re always ahead of the game with fashion,” she says. Katie prefers Rosie Assoulin, whose designs she calls “so distinct.”
- Local Boutiques: Pitaya and Madewell. “I actually used to work there,” Andrea says of the latter. “If I want a few cool, interesting pieces, I’ll go to Pitaya,” says Katie.
- Style Inspiration: “With Andrea being older than me, I have always looked up to her as a fashion inspiration,” says Katie. “I’m slowly getting my own vibe. I’m definitely a little more sleek, subtle, and muted—and obviously New York.”
What They're Wearing:
- Andrea: Alexa Chung dress for Madewell, Shinola watch, earrings found at a flea market
- Katie: Collina Strada jacket, Rag and Bone jeans, Brandy Melville T-shirt, Huffords diamond hoops, Chinese Laundry booties

CHAK LATTANAND & TIYA LIM
She manages investment portfolios for nonprofits; he’s an anesthesiologist. Her style is professional, with fun pieces such as a leather bucket bag with a dancing bear print; his is polished, with rugged, earthy elements.
- Shopping Spots: “I go to Thailand every year to see my family, and that’s where I do the bulk of my shopping,” says Lim. “I shop more online,” says Lattanand.
- Go-To Items: Lim says a dress and blazer “always look good”; Lattanand has one pair of Japanese raw denim jeans that he’s “been working on wearing in for the past five years.”
- Style Influences: For Lattanand, it’s his dad. “There’s something to be said about trying to stay classic,” he says. “As long as you stay classic, you’ll always look good.” Lim also nods to her parents: “I remember going onto airplanes with my dad in a suit, and my mom would have me in a dress with socks and pantyhose.”
What They're Wearing:
- Lim: Elie Tahari top, Alice and Olivia jacket, Hudson jeans, Alexander McQueen pumps, her grandmother's jewelry from Thailand

JEREMY & JUSTIN SCARBROUGH
The fraternal twins’ Kentucky roots influence their fashion sense, which incorporates modern elements—pops of color, bracelets, interesting pocket squares—with traditional style. Jeremy is a fundraiser at Washington University, and Justin works at a market research and consulting firm. Outside work, they concoct some exquisite craft cocktails. “The cocktail is an expression, a way of unwinding,” says Jeremy.
- Fashion Advice: “Fit is the most important element,” says Jeremy.
- Go-To Items: Justin is obsessed with Persol sunglasses. “I have seven,” he says. “I like the vintage look.” For Jeremy, it’s his AG jeans: “They change when I have an impulse to do something a little bit different.”

ANTONIO & KIRVEN DOUTHIT-BOYD
After meeting and marrying while dancing with the prestigious Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the couple recently moved here to become co-artistic directors at COCA. Outside the studio, each plays off the other’s style. “I definitely sometimes pull from his closet,” says Kirven.
- Style Perspective: “Being involved in such a body-conscious profession really makes you think about the way you put things together,” Kirven says. “I love a good fit.”
- Designers: “I’m like the mutt of fashion—I don’t have one designer that I like more,” Antonio says. “I love every shoe that Christian Louboutin makes,” says Kirven.
- Go-to Items: “I’m definitely a T-shirt–and–jeans kind of guy,” says Antonio. Kirven, on the other hand, says, “Anytime I wear a button-down shirt, I always button it to the top.”

RANDALL JONES & THE COUNT
A longtime hairstylist, Jones has worked with the likes of the late actress Mary Frann and the late Joan Rivers. His well-groomed 12-year-old poodle, The Count, complements Jones’ classic-yet-creative sense of style. “I try to live up to him—to his style,” says Jones.
- Style Inspiration: Jones’ grandmother. “She was very glamorous,” he says. The black-and-white movies that Jones grew up watching also shaped his style: “I was very inspired by that time period, the ’20s and ’30s. I still go back to that classic style.”
- Fashion Icon: Tom Ford. “I’m in love with anything he wears or makes.”
- Local Boutiques: Mister Guy and 10denza. “I tend to gravitate toward the smaller boutiques,” he says. “Most of the big stores I shop online.”

- Randall: Etro jacket, Rpbert Talbott shirt, J. Lindbergh corduroys, Jimmy Choo sneakers, vintage scarf, Etro pocket square, Gucci Belt, David Yurman vintage ring
- The Count: Etro bowtie

GREG LUKEMAN & NORMA STERN
Lukeman is executive director of Food Outreach, and Stern has made a lifelong career of volunteering. “Helping others is just part of me,” says Stern, who met Lukeman through Food Outreach, one of the many charitable organizations she’s grown to love.
- Style Influences: Lukeman says he tries to “dress for my age but with an edge.” Stern says she’s “always liked the tailored look.”
- Go-to Items: Stern has “a lot of St. John tops, but I love a good suit.” Lukeman also appreciates a nice suit. “There’s a Charles Tyrwhitt Black Watch plaid sport coat that I tend to gravitate toward,” he says. “It’s all about the workable buttons.”
- Philosophy: “Don’t worry, because what you worry about usually doesn’t happen,” says Stern. Lukeman’s advice: “When you’re born, you don’t know when you’re going to die, but that dash is whatever’s in between. Work on your dash.”

EVAN SULT & PAIGE BRUBECK
Together, Sult and Brubeck are garage-rock band Sleepy Kitty, whose name originated from an inside joke. “It gives us something to talk about with fans at shows,” says Sult. The pair’s retro-chic style is reflective of the vibrant neighborhood they call home, Cherokee Street.
- Style Influences: “My music and style influence each other,” says Brubeck. “I like to wear a lot of ’50s summer dresses on a Sunday afternoon, but I don’t necessarily wear those onstage in Sleepy Kitty.” Sult prefers boots, which he describes as “crucial for any rock musician.”
- Local Boutiques: Retro 101, TFA (The Future Antiques), and Avalon Exchange. “The reason I like vintage or thrift is that there’s only ever one of those things,” says Sult.
- Style Icons: David Bowie, Judy Garland, Andy Warhol…and, says Brubeck, “my friend Elyse, who has amazing style and is one of the most creative dressers I’ve ever seen.”
What They're Wearing:
- Paige: Vintage dress from Avalon, jacket from H&M, shoes by Steve Madden.
- Evan: Vintage Jacket from Retro 101; pants from Uniqlo; vintage shirt, boots from Topman by Topshop
