The Coveteur - Rachel Zoe

Today I am re-posting The Coveteur again,

this time their look at Rachel Zoe's fashion office.

Fashion stylists always have the most amazing lairs, 

full of exciting stuff. 

You gotta love having a sneak peak...

Fashion Offices With WhoWhatWear: Rachel Zoe

CEO, Rachel Zoe Inc. Los Angeles
 
Welcome to RZ HQ – the heart and Louboutin-sole of all things Rachel Zoe Inc.! We teamed up with our lovely friends at Who What Wear—once again!—to take you inside the holy grail of glamness, Zoe Headquarters.

While our “office” (a.k.a. other people’s closets) are always filled with rows upon rows of fab footwear, we couldn’t help but be completely sole-struck by the sea of shoes in Zoe’s bureau. I mean, we’ve all “seen” the inside of RZ HQ on the big screen—The Rachel Zoe Project is our #1 guilty pleasure—but, trust us, there’s a whole lot more to that office you haven’t seen. 

Her L.A. loft has played host to the industry’s best actresses (we’re looking at you, Annie!) and accesszoeries (the bags were BA-NA-NAS!) 
We died for Zoe’s vintage archives and ashtray collection—but, seriously, would you expect any less from the Queen of Decades? 

From the branding office to Zoe’s personal workspace, we got deep inside Team Zoe's wondrous workshop. And there’s plenty of creative juices flowing out of this fashion factory: Style advice from A to Zoe, our daily dose of inbox pleasure, The Zoe Report, a thriving clothing and accessories line and much more. 

All we can say is that it’s a good thing she’s got Camp Zoe (or Zoe-bots, as we like to call ‘em) behind her—headed up by prez, hubby (and our BFF) Rodg—to help crank out one glam project after another. And with that, we give you, Zoe Headquarters... where the magic happens!

This is where the magic happens! My branding office is where I spend most of my time in meetings for my collection and designing.

An aerial view from the loft in my office overlooking the first floor. I love how open and airy the space feels - but also cozy, because I want all of our visitors to feel at home.

 A peek into my office of vintage archives, aka, my second closet! It is the greatest source of inspiration when designing new looks. Reference the past to see what works and what doesn’t.

 OMG shoes! People ask me if I get desensitized seeing so many shoes every day, but I don’t think that’s actually possible.

I am an extremely organized person at work and at home - color co-ordination (especially in one’s closet) is everything.

 I am big on magazine tears for inspiration. I stick them all on these giant inspo boards in my branding office. I also spy a pair of my favorite vintage Chanel sunnies in the mix - who is more inspiring than Coco?

 Sunglasses, Vintage Chanel

Obsessed with this vintage mirrored coffee table! Mirrors in every form instantly add glamour to any home or office setting.

Anja Rubik For Vogue Japan

Patrick Demarchelier creates a certain magic

when he shoots Dior Haute Couture.

It could be argued that no photographer understands Dior better

than Demarchelier.

Last year he released his beautiful coffee table book,

Dior Couture By Demarchelier.

In the May 2012 issue of Vogue Japan

Demarchelier teams up with 

fashion editor and uber stylist

Anna Dello Russo

and polish model Anja Rubik

with a story that is exclusively Dior Haute Couture

aptly called Couture To Adore.

Clara Alonso for Elle Vietnam

There's no time quite like spring

to organize your lingerie draws and

make space for something new and exciting.

This month ELLE Vietnam goes there

With beautiful model Clara Alonso

looking like a vixen sex-bomb

with her big, sexy Bardot-esque hair

and smoky heavily lashed eyes by Nam Vo.

Stylist Aya Kanai moves Alonso through

looks from sweet to charming,

sultry to decadent

with lingerie from designers including Philip Lim, Myla,Eres

and my favorite Kiki de Montparnasse.

Daphne Guiness for Tatler Hong Kong

She is endlessly intriguing.

Style maven,

socialite,

heiress to an aristocratic legacy,

whole heartedly devoted to the art 

and craftmanship

of couture,

collector of haute couture,

McQueen champion.

Fashion icon.

Muse.

During her childhood she swam for endless hours 

in Salvador Dali's lobster infested pool.

She's nothing short of fascinating.

This is not the first time I've blogged about her.

This won't be the last.

Saskia De Brauw for Vogue Japan May 2012

How many layers of killing me

can you have in one editorial???

Lori Goldstein's  styling on this shoot for 

Vogue Japan May 2012

is beyond genius.

The familiar theme of mermaid getting all beachy

is taken to a whole new level

with giant accessories

and extreme wardrobe, 

from designers including

Stella McCartney, Oscar De La Renta,

Kara Ross, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci,

Paco Rabanne, Balenciaga,

and Aurelie Bidermann,

as well as a massive dose

 of crazy brilliant flair.
