STEPHANIE SIMS Writer ANDREW SALMEN Stylist "Sleek city elegance meets California comfort" not only describes New York-based fashion and celebrity stylist Andy Salmen, but also his sensibility. Trained by director Alex White at W Magazine and legendary Vogue Italia editor Lori Goldstein, the LA native has collaborated with Rihanna and consults with brands such as John Varvatos, Bloomingdale's, Belstaff, and Saint Laurent; his solo work has been featured in W Magazine, Complex, and Vanity Fair. Behind the Story: "Jim Gaffigan ["According to Jim," page 110] was one of the most relaxed people I've ever worked with, and he kept our energy up, a smile on every face, if we weren't already laughing out loud." Man of inspiration: "David Bowie. I've been a fan from as far back as my parents playing the album 'Young Americans' when I was 10 or so. I wanted to feel as free as he did, and to push artistic bound- aies and self-expression." Credentials: A former managing editor of Chicago Agent Magazine, Stephanie Sims has contributed to Time Out Chicago, DNAinfo, and Refinery29. Behind the story: "I think it's fascinating that MILA ["MILA on the Mile," page 125] was designed to look like a modern version of the Carbide & Carbon building on Michigan Avenue." Plans for fall: "Fall in Chicago is my favorite season, even more than summer: The weather is perfect for outdoor activities (not too hot, not too cold) and when the leaves change color here it's beautiful. I plan to soak up as much of it as I can before winter." Man of the hour: "My father worked hard to put himself through business school and get where he wanted to be in his career—he taught me that things usually don't come easy and to work hard for what I want.
