The 11th edition of Lingerie on Film is here with film by Joana Avillez, Julia Trotta, Julia von Boehm, Mina Stone, Miwa Susuda, Molly Rogers, Patricia Iglesias Peco, Quinn Wilson, Zoe Latta, and Nell Verlaque. On the occasion of the series release, we spoke to each contributor about their taste and perspective, pulling at the thread of what colors their lives. Our next to share is Sandeep Salter, the founder of Salter House and Picture Room, a design boutique and gallery with locations in Brooklyn Heights and the East Village.
Sandeep Salter grew up in Camden, a neighborhood in north London that has never been short of a scene.
Her mother is American, from St. Louis. Her father is Indian, from Punjab. Both were dancers. The family home was the kind of place where life and work were not divided entities — her father choreographing in the studio, developing works, her mother running his dance company and others alongside it. "A master class," she says, "wasted on me at the time."
It wasn't. Personal and creative discipline were emphasized. So was play. So was family. These things were not in contradiction. "I think that because I had artistic, physical parents who entangled life and work so seamlessly, I've patterned the same approach in my adult life."

The Antonia Bralette and Isabella Panty in Marmalade.
In her teenage years, she was dressed in vintage from the stables at Camden Market — fifties cardigans with beading, old prom dresses and nightgowns. Mixed in with something tacky from Topshop and Miss Selfridges. Some of those shook out in the wash, but the nightgowns have lingered. They are what she wears now on repeat, her answer to the question of a uniform — the garment that belongs to no occasion in particular, existing at the threshold between private and public, between rest and readiness. It is precisely the territory that Salter House occupies: domestic but considered, intimate but open to the street.

Her life right now she describes in three words: "Full, fleeting, sweet."
Her kids have her attention. Clairo's Charm is on the stereo. When she needs a creative reset she goes to the Met — the instinct to walk into a large room full of things that have outlasted everything and let it recalibrate the eye.
