.VeraWang has transformed a stately, 7,400-square-foot New York duplex into a spare—yet utterly livable—modernist masterpiece. She gives us a tour here.
Wang’s conversation is speckled with famous comrades and mentors, both living and dead. “I would call this apartment contemporary—not brutalist like Rick Owens’s house. . . . You know when you are a designer—and I think Pierpaolo would agree—when you are very focused on your work, it’s very difficult to also focus on art and architecture. . . . I mean, Karl didn’t have much furniture either. To be honest, in a way I am quite close to Rick and Calvin. I’ve seen all of Calvin’s houses.

Back downstairs, past the spectacular Christopher Wool graffiti painting that can hold its own against any TV screen, Wang admits that yes, okay, this is probably the only apartment in the building that looks anything like this. Still, though the traces of the apartment’s past life are invisible to all but Wang herself, this doesn’t make them any less powerful. “There is a poignancy when I wander through here. It’s the same area that my mom walked through,” she says quietly.
