Most stylish New Yorkers 2013: Eloïse Simonet

Simonet wears a silk tee from back when Ale et Ange made women’s clothing. The brand now focuses on duds for guys because, according to Simonet, “there’s less out there for men.” She pairs the top with a vintage floral skirt from Screaming Mimi’s (382 Lafayette St between E 4th and Great Jones Sts; 212-677-6464, screamingmimis.com).

A vintage Cartier (cartier.com) watch is the store owner’s favorite eBay (ebay.com) purchase.

“I got them for my 31st birthday in an attempt to get rid of my needle phobia,” says Simonet of the two tattoos she got at North Star Tattoo (74 E 7th St between First and Second Aves; 212-228-6724, northstartattoo.com). This one says love in Sanskrit. Her bracelet is actually a necklace that her father gave her when she was a child.

Vintage tricolor Bruno Magli (brunomagli.com) pumps, another eBay find, provide a stylish contrast to her floral ensemble,

Simonet uses a vintage belt to cinch her ladylike Ale et Ange dress.

The store owner nabbed her Helmut Lang boots (93 Mercer St between Broome and Spring Sts, 212-242-3240 ● 230 Columbus Ave between 70th and 71st Sts, 212-877-3450 ● 755 Madison Ave between 65th and 66th Sts, 212-249-0145 ● helmutlang.com) when she worked the designer’s retirement sale in 2005. “I got to pick through items with the rest of the staff before the crazy line of shoppers were let in the door,” she says. “I would have been mad not to stock up.”

“I used to have an eBay addiction, and I had to quit cold turkey,” admits Simonet. This vintage Dior (dior.com) cardigan was purchased from the site; she uses it to tone down a graphic Ale et Ange dress, cinched with a vintage belt (also probably from eBay).

Simonet’s combination of black suede boots, another Hemlut Lang score, with opaque tights from Uniqlo (locations throughout the city; visit uniqlo.com) is basic enough to allow her colorful dress to do the talking.

The store owner’s gold-and-emerald ring originally belonged to her mother. “I begged her for it until she gave it to me,” admits Simonet. The gold chain-link bracelet was also a gift from her mom.

On her left hand, the designer wears her great-grandmother’s engagement ring. “Some people say it’s bad luck to wear it, but I think it’s too pretty to leave sitting in a box,” she says.

Simonet’s delicate necklace (which she also wears as a bracelet) shows her penchant for simple, understated accessories.

“[Ale et Ange designers] are obsessed with stripes and flowers in pretty colors,” Simonet says of her floral top and striped button-down shirt from the brand. White J Brand jeans (jbrandjeans.com) allow the colors to pop.

The neutral color of these vintage Bottega Veneta (699 Fifth Ave between 54th and 55th Sts, 212-371-5511 ● 849 Madison Ave between 70th and 71st Sts, 212-879-4182 ● bottegaveneta.com) flats from eBay make them a wardrobe staple.

Delicate Me & Ro star earrings were a birthday gift from someone special.

Simonet’s graphic Ale et Ange hat adds an unexpected dose of humor to her casual getup. ”We call it the Babies Zilla hat,” she explains. “It has babies and boobs on it.”
