Alessandra “Sciascia” Gambaccini and Wayne Maser

Former Vanity Fair Italia fashion director and photographer

maser: Before we lived here, I once lived at the Carlyle. This is as close to living in a hotel as you can possibly get.

gambaccini: It’s like the U.N. here. Only a small percentage of apartments are lived in full time. You have, you know, art dealers from Italy. You have a lot of Argentinians, a lot of South Americans. You have Greeks, you know, some Italians, Indians. The Ferragamos had what they call a foresteria at Olympic Tower, which is basically like a guest apartment or for employees when they come. It’s really like a place of passage. And also a place where your secrets are well, well kept.
