On Inspo: “I’ve learned how to collaborate; it’s one of the biggest things I’ve learned, and one of the biggest things I've always been inspired by.”

On R + Co:  “I reflected on my first couture show in Paris with Polly Mellen, Irving Penn, and his wife. We were at YSL, I saw the girls come out in all these colors. I was knocked away and it never left me. That color storyboard was so in my head that when we were able to do the R + Co Bleu line and we didn’t know what to call it, I said, ‘Bleu’.”

What Else: Taking leaps and getting to the next level. Living well and in style.

Obsixed: A collection of Garren’s lifestyle obsessions.
