My personal style signifier is dressing a little masculine-feminine. I love a Levi’s 501. I’m very into the Adidas Japan sneakers or a good riding boot. And a cashmere sweater, usually in grey, navy or black; I have about 50. My dad [filmmaker Stephen Crisman] had an amazing collection of cashmere sweaters which is probably where my obsession originated. I still have a Scottish cashmere, old-man-brand one that he wore a lot, and I wear it on every single flight I take. So now it’s really deteriorating. It’s literally missing the tag at this point. But it feels like home to me.
The last thing I bought and loved was a jade bracelet from the Rose Bowl Flea Market in LA. I previously had one that my three-year-old daughter broke, which bummed me out. I don’t really have attachments to things, but it belonged to my late aunt Margaux [Hemingway, the model and actor], so it was really special. It’s also one of those things that kind of funks up an outfit. Like, it sets a suit off-kilter and makes it more fun.

A place that means a lot to me is Ketchum, Idaho. It’s my whole soul. I was born there and a lot of my family spent time there [including Ernest Hemingway, her great-grandfather], and it’s where I ground myself the most. It’s a beautiful mountain town, not chi-chi at all. I try to carve out some time there for a month at a time. We used to have a family house there but my father sold it before he passed away. Now we usually stay with his widow, who has a house on the river with tons of green around it and hiking trails. It’s heaven.
