Jeremyn Lee Opens His Brooklyn Apartment and Shoe Archive for Vogue's Closet Case
In the most recent edition of Vogue's Closet Case, Jeremyn Lee, a former shoe designer for Thom Browne, showcases his Brooklyn apartment, filled with a vast collection of designer shoes and ready-to-wear items. After spending eight years at Thom Browne until this summer, Lee identifies as a fashion collector, with Prada as his preferred brand, aiming to acquire one item from each seasonal release. His initial indulgence was a Prada stripe monkey shirt from spring 2011, bought at a Los Angeles outlet before he enrolled at Parsons in 2013. His most significant purchase is either an Hermès Kelly Relax or a large Bottega Veneta clutch. Although he rarely wears certain heels and ready-to-wear pieces—some of which he buys just to try on—he treasures items like a Prada spring 2015 brown leather coat and a Celine fall 2015 wool vest bag. Lee finds it challenging to style sunglasses with his mohawk and is reluctant to part with his Thom Browne suits due to their sentimental value. The feature emphasizes his unique perspective on collecting and personal fashion.
