Supermodels in Fort Greene? Bien Sur
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.

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.
When will I be in Vogue?
I know the couple in Vogue and they live in Clinton Hill. The essay has nothing to do with the fact that they live in Brooklyn, but it’s a great read.
nose candy, snow, coke, that’s how they stay thin and smoke herb
tis true re the euro fetish for rollin one’s own cancer stick
Toxins, riiight.
She’s a supermodel — so presumably a little more cosmopolitan than some of you yokels masquerading as hipsters. In Europe, and especially in the UK, lots o’ folks roll their own. It’s a great way to avoid the toxins added to commercial cigarettes and the activity itself slows down the number of cigs you can consume.
Bridget Hall lives in DUMBO, I believe…why does Alek Wek want to advertise where she lives? I’m all for Brooklyn pride, but why invite the weirdos (like us commenting here)? This must be the 3rd article I’ve seen on where she lives. I have seen here trolling Home Depot on a Friday night — I thought I was the only geek who spent my Friday nights there.
Rolling papers for tobacco, riiight.
