Fashion designer Nanette Lepore and her husband, Robert Savage, infuse a Victorian townhouse in Manhattan's West Village with an appreciation for the past, a passion for Hollywood glamour, and a lust for life

"I CAN BE MYRNA LOY HERE," Nanette Lepore proclaims, sweeping her arms to indicate the parlor of the West Village townhouse she shares with her husband and business partner, Robert Savage, and their daughter, Violet. Indeed there is something cinematic about the fashion designer's Manhattan digs. Maybe it's the spiral chandelier that dangles from the parlor ceiling like a giant earring. Or perhaps it is the dressing room, where an overscale teal velvet pouf sits amid vintage haute couture. From the bodacious color combinations to the Eva Perón portrait that hangs over a fireplace, it seems a perfect backdrop for someone who has said she designs for a "bold woman who has fun and celebrates life."
