ALLISON BERG

Art, design, and lifestyle journalist Allison Berg is based in Los Angeles and the Hamptons. She contributes to C magazine and was the founding editor of Collectista. A passionate art collector, attorney, and philanthropist, Berg interviews Gray Malin for this issue’s cover story (page 80).

You know it’s summer when… “We all perspire rosé during our workouts. More important, there is an energy shift and people seem happier, more light-hearted, and friendlier. I have always loved how everyone in the Hamptons says ‘Good morning’ and smiles. That small gesture is undervalued too much of the year.” Favorite Hamptons restaurant: “The Clam Bar in Amagansett. Being liberated from my embarrassingly highmaintenance beauty and fashion routines and feasting upon a double order of steamers with sand between my toes and salt air in my hair epitomizes my perfect beach lifestyle.”
