More Marchesa

It has been a couple of months since I have shown any closet love, so in connection with yesterday's post on Marchesa, here are a few shots of co-founder and designer, Georgina Chapman's elegant dressing room from Harper's Bazaar.

Chapman named her company after the wild Italian Marchesa Luisa Casati (1881-1957) who was known for going naked under her coats and wearing live snakes as jewelry.

A sheepskin rug, Lucite stool, and a sparkly chandelier dress up an otherwise basic, white laminate shelving system in one of her three closets. Must be nice to be the new Mrs. Weinstein!

She might be lucky in terms of chandelier in her walk in closet. But her husband... I could tell you stories...

I don't think even that closet could persuade me to marry one of those Weinsteins!

I don't get what she sees in Harvey but the closet is making me think it's his deep pockets! I love her vintage patterned coats the best!
