Who are a few of your favorite designers? No one does glamour like Valentino. Karl Lagerfeld is a genius, but Halston is my all-time favorite. He really took modern dressing to a whole new level of chic simplicity.
Who are you dying to dress? I would love to dress Reese Witherspoon; her look is so fresh and modern.
At what moment did you realize you’d made a name for yourself? The first time I saw my clothing in a store felt pretty amazing. And we recently renovated a new showroom space in New York, in the same building where one of my first jobs in the business was located. It felt pretty great seeing my name on the building roster. What was one of your most memorable fashion-related experiences? Doing an Oscar segment for E! TV. I love fashion, and I love talking about it.
Known for turning luxurious materials into streamlined separates, David Meister doesn’t mince words when it comes to talking fashion and design. We caught up with the Ohio native turned L.A. insider after his recent Max Factor runway show.
How do you define style? Style is so much more than what a person wears. It has to do with how a person puts oneself together and how they present and project themselves to the world. It is a sense of ease and confidence with not only how one looks on the outside but how one feels on the inside.
How would you describe your own personal aesthetic? Cool, modern, and a touch of a rocker’s edge.
Who do you consider the greatest fashion icon of all? Audrey Hepburn was pretty amazing!
Who is currently your favorite model? Magdalena is a new face who just started, and she is beautiful and is walking for all the top designers
