You would think that with a GPS we’d be able to locate someone’s home quite easily—except, of course, in the Hollywood Hills. After getting lost on a slew of winding roads, we finally found Brad Goreski’s beautiful abode—situated just minutes from the Hollywood sign. We were greeted by his assistant, Lindsay, who gave us the grand tour before Brad made his grand debut. Lindsay was quick to sympathize with us for our misdirection: after all, the first episode of Goreski’s Bravo show, It's a Brad, Brad World, featured Lindsay getting lost on the same route. Goreski’s closet is full of eccentric prints and pieces collected over the years, and we have to say: his colourful collection of fancy footwear was by far the most exciting that we had seen in a long time. His vibrant collection of Happy Socks, button-downs, blazers and Brogues perfectly matches his bubbly personality. We’ve been big time fans of Brad since the Rachel Zoe days—plus, it’s so great to see a Canadian succeed as a little fish in a big pond. (Fun fact: B.G. is from a small town in Ontario called Port Perry—talk about moving on up!) Goreski has made a name for himself as the stylist for everyone from Jessica Alba to Demi Moore. When Mr. Goreski arrived, he was looking as dapper as ever. His larger-than-life personality lit up the room and is precisely the reason the world (us included!) has fallen in love with him. We chatted with Goreski about his recent memoir, Born To Be Brad—which, may we add, is a must read, his cool Family Guy memorabilia (his boyfriend, Gary Janetti is a writer for the show) and his work with Kate Spade. We were quick to learn that there’s a lot more to this man behind his signature bow-tie and frames. He even confessed a few secrets to us: “Sometimes, when [Gary’s] playing piano, I dance around like a ballerina. Imagine that!”
I never really realized that I had so many pairs of sneakers! I like shoes that make a statement, whether they are a lace-up or a high-top. My favourite pair are my Christian Louboutin crystal encrusted high-tops, as well as the Alejandro Ingelmo Tron sneakers in red. I am a firm believer that there should always be a party on your feet!

I love, love, love this blazer. It’s Black Fleece [by Brooks Brothers] and I wore it to my last book signing in San Francisco. It was a huge hit. People are still talking about it. The pic of Stewie is a still taken from the 125th episode of Family Guy. Gary wrote it and Stewie is holding up a Thom Browne sweater. We also gave the same picture to Thom Browne as a gift.

We worked with Antonia Hutt on the interiors of our house. Our house is a mid-century home and we wanted the inside to feel warm and lived in, not cold and stark.

I do change my glasses up a lot, and now I have acquired quite a few pairs. It’s becoming a little bit of a problem—but without them I can’t see, so I don’t feel too guilty for having a nice selection.

I wear these shoes with everything: suits, jeans, shorts. I think you have to try your shoes with as many different outfits as possible. You’ll be surprised at how well they work with so many different looks. Try playing with fun socks and wearing no socks with your shoes. It completely changes the look.
