We caught up with Alder New York founders David Krause and Nina Zilka to learn more about their favorite modern design finds.

It?s 2006 ? David Krause (@davidjameskrause) and Nina Zilka (@nina_zilka), each studying fashion design at the Pratt Institute, become fast friends and collaborators. The two developed a sustainable, locally made fashion label that went on to attract the attention of WWD, Elle, and Nylon, to name a few. Fast forward to 2016, with over a decade of design experience in their pocket, Nina and David set their sights on wellness and personal care and launched Alder New York, their line of inclusive and design-forward skin and haircare products.
The product of the duo’s design experience, shared passion for wellness, and growing concerns about the lack of regulation in beauty, Alder New York champions vegan, derm-approved actives and plant-derived ingredients that work for everyone, regardless of gender, skin and hair type, age, or ethnicity ? all in sleek, modern packaging that you?ll want to keep on permanent display. From their best-selling Cooling Hydro Mist and Everyday Cleanser to their Cleansing Body Bar and Texture Powder Dry Shampoo, this Brooklyn brand?s uncomplicated formulas are designed to do the most and look good doing it. To learn more about design that the Alder New York founders love in their day-to-day life, we asked them to share their shopping cart with us! Read on for their picks.
