Let Light In: Don’t Keep Your Closet Under Wraps

For those of you who might not recognize Mary Alice Stephenson as the host of 2007 TV series America’s Most Smartest Model, she is also seen on the small screen as a fashion consultant for networks such as E! and CNN.

But the working mother also balances family life with her other duties as a contributor at Harper’s Bazaar and as the national fashion ambassador for Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Lucky for us, Time Out New York filmed an inside look at this “closet case.”

“I am an equal opportunity fashionista,” Stephenson said. “I do not care how much it costs, as long as it looks great.”

Although she has many lovely Lanvin boxes stacked on shelves in her closet, we like this approach to fashion. Among the Lanvin boxes stacked on shelves in her closet, she also has pieces from Zara, H&M, Top Shop and even Sears!

The lovely chandelier hangs above her black island with lined drawers to display her fabulous jewelry. We see various sources of light in her closet, from the windows at one end to the floor lamps and ceiling lamp at the other. Stephenson’s personal taste really comes through in the way her closet is designed—everything from textures to colors, we get a real sense of who she is and what she loves.
