As producer Wren Arthur puts it, her job allows her to “plot and scheme with like-minded people every day.” She’s known for her work on Prairie Home Companion, and the production firm she co-founded and now runs with Steve Buscemi, Olive Productions. Before starting the firm, she worked with director Robert Altman (who made M.A.S.H and Popeye). Recently, Olive Productions closed a deal with TBS and TNT to bring various, yet-unannounced series to the networks.
She splits her time between New York and Los Angeles, and as a result, she has a set idea of what to wear on planes. Her signature style, though, is inspired by French New Wave actress Jean Seberg in Breathless or punk icon Debbie Harry — biker jackets, striped shirts, and tuxedo jackets for fancy events. But being a true bicoastal woman, she always has a crystal in her pocket and Yogi Tea in her carry-on. We spoke with her about her go-to shoes, creative people, and leather pants.

On her everyday outfit: My day-to-day ranges from Puma classic black suede Clydes, to Gucci’s Marmont boot or shoe, or motorcycle boots. My wardrobe does not differ, really, when I travel — it just depends on the weather in New York or L.A., and then on set or location.
I mostly just dress for the day, and when going out after work, I usually just add makeup or bring a jacket or fancier shoe. I like to feel tough and sexy at once, with a motorcycle jacket or a leopard velvet blazer. My signatures are a French fisherman striped boatneck, a black cashmere turtleneck, or an R13 band tee. And for shoes, I’ll usually wear a platform boot or shoe.
