Maisonette Muse: Glenna Neece
Former model-turned-mama Glenna Neece is our latest Muse, and life in her family’s Cobble Hill townhouse is anything but ordinary. Married to Marcus Wainwright, the mastermind behind the wildly successful fashion label Rag & Bone, Neece, an artist, infuses everyday life with a healthy dose of creativity and fun. Here are a few of her favorite things.
What’s your morning mama routine?
Meditate, matcha, (somewhat) controlled chaos.
How would you describe your style? Do you dress your mini-me to reflect it?
Chameleon. I wear what I feel like wearing, and of course, that changes. Noah, my 9 year old son, is only into Adidas track pants and tees. Henry, 7, has his own style that I admire and I look forward to seeing his choices each and every day. With Cate, I still have some input, but we are reaching that point where she knows what she likes and that is that.

How has your style changed since you became a mother?
Not a great deal, but I don’t think about what I am wearing quite so much. That is, I don’t have a lot of time in the morning to spend in front of the mirror, so I choose, get dressed, and move on.
Left to their own devices, what are the wackiest looks your children have ever put together?
A few days ago, Henry cut up an old pair of my jeans and put together a Viking ensemble. Waistband as sash, 1/2 leg as helmet...

What looks are trending now in the Wainwright/Neece household?
NBA looks for Noah, 1970s rainbows/flowers shorts/tees/overalls for Cate, and Henry is a wild card.
Favorite kid’s activities right now?
Playing dress up is a big thing in our home. Henry dresses up and goes on adventures into the woods, and Cate dresses up like a princess. Noah is into basketball and bike riding.

I wish I’d known that I would need a strong support network and that I could not do it all on my own!
