Edited by Karla Martinez and Vanessa Lawrence Tom Dunn clearly bursts the stereotype of the all black-clad fashion toiler, with his penchant for tie dying his own t-shirts and his admission to loving Birkenstocks. Chalk it up to his Berkeley, California upbringing, though years of working in PR and merchandising haven’t quashed his colorful choices.

This past spring Dunn (above), who continues to work as a fashion consultant, decided to lend his eclectic eye to his charming new interior design boutique Overbey & Dunn on Christopher Street. The store acts as a revolving vignette of meticulously curated furniture and home accessories, centered around a chosen motif, with all items for sale before the shop is changed up every eight weeks or so. Its newest theme is “Gentleman/Boudoir” by Russell Piccione.

Here, Dunn professes his love of caftans, horseback-riding and his eight year-old goddaughter’s inimitable style.

Define your style in three words: Immediate, refined bohemian, sentimental.

Daily uniform: Slim pants with a t-shirt or button down. From DIY tie-dye shirts (I tie dye vintage or used pieces and have stacks of white clothes waiting to be done) with Simon Spurr trousers to a linen madras button down with Gucci patterned pants.
