Petra Nemcova
Model; President & Chairwoman, Happy Hearts Fund. New York
Petra Nemcova’s life was forever changed after surviving the 2004 Asian tsunami. The world renowned model created the Happy Hearts Fund, a charity that is dedicated to rebuilding schools and restoring hope in the lives of children after natural disasters. Nemcova is known for her editorial work as former face of Cartier and Clarins among many other high-end brands. But once you meet Nemcova, it’s clear her passion is philanthropy. Everything Nemcova does always comes back to her charities; the proceeds of her book “Love Always, Petra” went to children affected by the Tsunami, as do 10% of proceeds from her Be The Light New York products. We were completely inspired by her charity work and entrepreneurial attitude. Plus, it’s always refreshing to see someone using their position to do good and make a difference. Her home is an extension of her work and personality – thoughtfully calm, cool and collected with an artsy influence. It was like walking into a museum filled with “Do Not Touch” signs. We were itching to get inside her glass cabinet of “special crystals brought from the centre of the Earth,” which Nemcova was only the third person ever to touch. With every room we entered, we found ourselves ooh-ing and ah-ing over the quirky art by Peter Tunney, Robert Currant and the custom, hand-painted D&G jacket by Todd DiCurio. Nemcova said it best, “There are many elements of who I am that are expressed through my wardrobe and inside my apartment: artsy, elegant, sexy and business-minded.”

I got this dress in a fantastic and fun store in Dubai called Sauce. This electric dress is always winner to wear. The art is by dear Peter Tunney who is one of my favorite artists. His messages in art inspire me to think and rethink things.

The 80s were brilliant and I’m so sad to have missed them! For my 30th birthday celebration, we had a big 80s party: flashy disco floor, salt and pepper shakers in the form of Rubik’s Cubes and I wore this vintage 80s dress with a palm tree ponytail, of course.

This jewelry line is made by two energetic girls who came together over a pizza (I bet it was my sister who ate most of it) and created the idea to start jewlery line named 'October Anniversary.' It is a green jewelry line made out of recycled gold, silver and other metals. They are sold in six countries. I'm very proud of them both!

Cuff, October Anniversary
There are many elements of who I am that are expressed through my wardrobe and inside my apartment: artsy, elegant, sexy and business-minded. This photo captures the conservative element in me, my spirituality—which is a huge part of my life—and my passion for photography. The photo was taken by my great friend, Robert Currant, and that is my favorite Leica camera.

Jacket, Loro Piana
This little bag is great for an elegant evening out or with jeans during the day. I love and collect black-and-white photos. On this wall is everything from images of the Velvet Revolution in the former Czechoslovakia in 1989 to my friend Roberto Dutesco’s horses on Sable Island and some photos I’ve taken of my friends.

Bag, CHANEL
This little bag is my sister’s. I had given it to her as a birthday present from France and because we still borrow each other’s clothes, I sometimes wear it. She loves it for many reasons; it’s fab and practical. It never came to the U.S., so she may be the only one wearing it in New York!

This photo captures the essence of the Happy Hearts Fund. The photo on the table is of the first trip I took back to Thailand after the tsunami of 2004. It marks when I first came up with the idea to create the Happy Hearts Fund. The playing cards feature children in different countries that the charity serves. The candle represents the light that we bring to children, families and entire communities through our work. The Happy Hearts Fund rebuilds schools and the lives of children after natural disasters. We have a presence in nine different countries and have helped 34,230 children and impacted the lives of 337,450 community members. That is just the beginning; every dollar goes to the children and there are many ways to get involved, which all outlined on our site, happyheartsfund.org.

My dear friend, the multi-talented artist, Todd DiCiurcio, hand-painted this jacket as a birthday present. It is a painting of a girl with two angels on either side of her, tickling her ears. I love it so much. It’s priceless.
