EMILY OBERG

Who or what inspires your style?
My style icons are Jerry Seinfeld, ’90s sportswear ads, and ladies like Phoebe Philo,Stella McCartney, and Hannah MacGibbon. I like sporty, timeless pieces with hints of Americana. I love suits with sneakers, or a nice silk dress with sneakers. I love the high-low mix with sportswear.
Where do you like to shop in the city?
I love vintage; all my denim is vintage (except one pair of Acne jeans). I love to go to Stella Dallas and Gentry in Brooklyn, for men’s pieces. For a basic T-shirt, Modell’s is my spot. I also love the Canadian brand Aritzia.
What area of the city do you find to be most interesting, style-wise?
I’ve always lived in Brooklyn, but it’s too hipster and not really my thing when it comes to the fashion. I love the Upper West Side because even when people are dressed down, they are still wearing a Rolex and carrying like a Louis Vuitton handbag.
What are you working on at the moment?
I started the Sporty & Rich brand a year ago, and then I decided to do a magazine. I’m also working on a documentary on Supreme resellers. I have been covering them for a while now, and I sort of decided there was an interesting story here. They are such a crazy group. Every Thursday, they know there’s going to be a new shipment, and they’re there in line waiting.
