Dear AD PRO Community,

The editors and I love the creative thrill of compiling AD’s annual style issue. Along with scouting out superlative homes, we are equally intent upon presenting a cast of fascinating characters. This year we’ve rounded up a truly fashionable crew.

Cover duo Adam Levine, an L.A. legend for his real estate acumen as well as his music career, and his supermodel wife, Behati Prinsloo Levine, inhabit a storied, dreamy Pacific Palisades property that they recently designed with the help of AD100 firm Clements Design. The couple eschew rock-star trappings, living in understated splendor among their impressive collection of major art and furniture. Of the laid-back vibe, Levine notes, “our home feels like a genuine unicorn, our perfect sanctuary.”

At the opposite end of the aesthetic spectrum is the utterly original Amsterdam lair of Rolf Snoeren, one half of the surrealistic Dutch fashion house Viktor & Rolf. Conceived by design provocateur Job Smeets of Studio Job, the apartment quite amazingly calls to mind amusement parks, Disney castles, the Flintstones, and Playmobil. We also tour the minimal masterpiece AD100 architect Vincent Van Duysen created from the ground up for California lifestyle guru Jenni Kayne and the Connecticut getaway where Instagram power player and mega influencer Eva Chen spends down time with her family.

In Lagos, Nigeria, local fashion and social luminary Reni Folawiyo, owner of renowned luxury shop Alára (which was designed by Sir David Adjaye), invites us into her sprawling duplex penthouse. In Paris, we go inside the grand apartment of celebrated fashion designer Pierre Hardy, reimagined by AD100 talent Vincenzo De Cotiis. And back out in California, supercool model Jessica Hart opens the doors to her perfectly pretty L.A. house.

A huge thanks to all of these hospitable tastemakers! I urge you to check out the entire issue.
