Step Into the Lyons Den

As the creative director at J.Crew, Jenna Lyons knows a thing or two about fashion. So, it wasn’t surprising when Oprah featured the style icon and dreamer on her ‘Dream Jobs’ episode in April 2010.

It has been a while since the episode aired, but we were so amazed by the intro into Lyons’ section that we felt it deserved another look. Specifically, we are still floored that she converted a whole bedroom into her walk-in closet.

“It’s like shopping every day,” she said.

We can see why! The mastermind behind J.Crew’s seasonal looks even has a fireplace and antlers mounted on the wall of her closet. (Personal touches we adore and think are what make Lyons’ closet personal and unique.)

Keeping the rest of the room open to natural light pouring through the windows, Lyons has clothes hanging from rolling racks and glass shelves holding what are probably a couple hundred pairs of shoes. Lyons mentions she color-codes her shoes, too, which we especially liked.

“Find a system that works and stick to it,” LA Closet Design CEO Lisa Adams always says.

Well, we sure wish we had the space to dedicate one whole room to our clothes and accessories like Lyons does! What makes your closet unique? Share with us your thoughts!
