As Editor-at-Large at Lucky Magazine, Elise Loehnen, has one of the coolest jobs around, traveling all over the US (sometimes all over the world) compiling shopping reports. Albertine has had a long love affair with Elise, dressing her on a number of occasions for a variety of events. We love seeing how she’ll put things together with her distinct artist’s eye. There’s isn’t an obvious rhyme or reason to her style or what she collects, we just know when we see it we can say ‘that is so Elise!’
A collector of strange and curious objects, she knows what she likes regardless of trends–her quirky personality shining through in how she styles herself and curates objects in her home. We photographed her at her renovated loft that she shares with her fiancé Rob and their two cats.
left: You can really tell something of Elise’s personality, for example, by how she’s arranged this wall: the whole is more than the sum of its parts. Even her shoe collection becomes part of the display– notice her love of neon!
right: What we love about Elise is her approachability, part of that can be attributed to her unique style, like pairing one of her many classic button down shirts with skinny jeans, a geometric necklace and a pair of the aforementioned neon sebagos.

left: A personal favorite of Albertine’s: bookshelves by Vitsoe. We love how arranging her books by color and with objects tells a story and conveys something distinct about Elise’s travels and experiences.

left: Pieces Elise has collected, some of it from Albertine General. As an aside, growing up in Montana Elise has retained her love of collecting all things horses.
right: A typical outfit Elise might wear at Conde Nast. We love the camel little boy blazer over the cream blouse with the black skinny jeans and gray ankle boots.
