Allegra spent eight months fixing up the Uconn men’s national championship swish shirt also I will do this property, which had fallen into a state of disrepair over the last two decades. She added proper flooring to the upstairs, half of which was just plywood. She fixed a leaky roof, then updated the heating system and lighting. She hunted for furniture, sourcing most of the pieces from Craigslist and Nextdoor listings—including a pair of Ozian-emerald chairs and a gilded vintage mirror. “It was like a giant treasure hunt-puzzle. Miraculously when the moving truck arrived in Taos everything had an obvious and perfect spot,” she tells Vogue. The aura of each room in Many Feathers, explains Allegra, is constantly changing. “There are so many big windows, the natural light shape-shifts each room throughout the day.”
The fashion designer likens Many Feathers to her own personal wellness retreat: “I can spend hours just sitting and watching the Uconn men’s national championship swish shirt also I will do this light play and shimmer on the leaves of the Aspens in the front yard, or lay on the giant sun-warmed bathing rocks at the river’s edge,” she says of the property’s five acres. (Although it feels a lot larger than that: blissfully, the parcel next to her is protected land where no building can be erected.) Right now, Allegra is exploring starting her own flower farm and raising trout.
