Can Fort Greene get any more chic? In this month’s Vogue, the fashion bible features a full-page photo of model Alec Wek in front of the townhouse she’s in the process of renovating. No mention of exact location, but we learn that Wek enjoys trolling for vintage furniture (she scored a pair of 1940′s dentist stools on Atlantic Avenue recently) and one of her neighbors is another fashion icon, Bridget Hall. Who knew? The article also includes a reflection on Brooklyn’s role in the New York universe:

In a way, the distance between Manhattan and outer-borough Brooklyn is the perfect metaphor for Wek’s attitude toward the fashion world: She knows the place well, loves working there, but takes it on her own terms and is happy to retreat back to her own real life at the end of the day.
