Closet Raid: Purple Lab’s Karen Robinovitz Opens Her Closet to StyleLikeU.com

Most people know Karen Robinovitz for her Purple Labs Cosmetics line. I have worked with Karen on various projects and seen her through her evolution of Purple Labs as well as her work as fashion and beauty writer and editor.

She’s also a known quantity in the social media realm. Having seen her favorite fashion haunts — and knowing her a bit– I know that this is definitely not a “disposable fashion” person, but a true fashionista with a desire to curate a fashion collection that’s smokin’ haute!

She’s serious about quality and the sense of permanence in collecting great pieces, but with an effusive humour, like when she talks about her “double red and leopard moment” and that she is a maximalist. With a perpetual grin from ear to ear, Karen says that she loves clothes that are theatrical, reflecting her philosophy of life, “I like to live big, dream big, I think everything should be big.” The more impractical the better, her version of a power meeting outfit is a white sequined jacket with jeans and a fedora and her favorite at-home piece for watching TV is her giant Ann Demeulemeester coq feather vest. “When it came out of the box, I screamed,” she says. Karen had chased the piece all around the world in hopes of acquiring it and has been known to go to great lengths when she sees something that inflames the senses, literally turning her skin red. Like a cat that can jump ten feet and land on all fours, Karen climbed the ladder that sits in the middle of her closet in YSL’s chunkiest stiletto, in order to show me a McQueen knuckle duster that made her heart beat at it’s all time peak.

There’s a LOT more to this story– and it’s a

    TON of photos of Karen’s closet

and her favorite things (I would love to “shop” her closet!).

Wave to Karen… and I saw a couple things I could pull off in that video!
