A biography for Aerin Lauderhasn’t been written yet.
“I love going to museums, especially the Met, because there's always room for discovery, or the Neue Galerie. It's a great jewel box.”
“Sunday is about relaxing and wearing anything comfortable. I love wearing a J. Crew shirt and jeans, which is a treat because I never wear these kinds of clothes during the week.”
“AERIN is saturated with the qualities that have surrounded me my entire life, many of which came from my grandmother, Estee: passion, style, hard work, family, and, of course, all things beautiful.”
“I'm a very visual person, and I love opening beautiful books on art or design and looking through them.”
“A travel-size dry shampoo is the answer to many problems.”
“I discovered I was passionate about the creative process, the product development, creating a concept around a fragrance or lipstick.”
“Estee Lauder was my grandmother. She was an iconic and powerful woman, but to us, she was just Estee. She was the first person to teach me how important it is to be passionate and proud of what you do, and always talked about 'balance.'”
“I don't use a stylist. I know what I like, so I do it myself. I rip things out from fashion magazines. It's easy to order when the phone number is right on the page.”
“Even though beauty is very much my heritage, my real passion is accessories and home.”
“When my boys were little, I'd throw so many toys at them, but they didn't want to play with any. Then I'd give them a truck, and they would play for hours. I believe the same thing applies to a consumer - edit their choices, and they will be more intrigued.”
