Tamara Mellon, is the stylish founder of Jimmy Choo. We all know Jimmy Choo right?? Well, Harper's Bazaar was let in to her New York apartment and I think you'll be amazed at all the interesting and unique qualities of her place. Her apartment is a mix of high art and glam minimalism....AND let's not forget, a TON of shoes!

Here she is posing with pretty little daughter, Minty.
I really loved the Terence Koh neon installation that reads “love for eternity” in her entryway. In the upstairs sitting room, there is a Warhol silkscreen of Grace Kelly which is also eye-catching! In the kitchen, there’s a Jean-Michel Basquiat painting, which she has put onto a track and can be rolled away to reveal a flat-screen television.
For the rest of Tamara's home tour visit the Harper's Site.

I recognise a lot of furniture from her London home. Did anyone else see her house then in MTV cribs? It was to die for. Actually i think better than this apartment.
ReplyDeleteOOOOO so jealous!!!! The shoes, the SIZE fo that closet! The ART! oh and the SHOES!
ReplyDeleteHer house is gorgeous! I am seriously desturbed by the snake pics, since I am terrified of snakes. But other than that I love!
ReplyDeleteLuvs!

ReplyDeleteI don't think I could do the snake photos though :)
Look at all those shoes!!! I am drooling over here! Her place is so glamorous!
ReplyDeleteWhatever floats your boat I suppose but snakes ... aargh!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I just have to comment on those snake prints! How unusually cool. Great post!
ReplyDeletegulp, snakes!!! Thank goodness for all the pretty shoes!
ReplyDeleteI read an article about her once and she is amazing in many ways. She discovered an unknown cobbler from Malaysia and built her entire empire ground up around him. Such amazing taste and drive!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

She had like 2 or 3 massive dressing rooms/shoe rooms. It was insane. In dark wood. I wonder if i could find a pic? Think i have tried before?
ReplyDeletei die. the snakes really are interesting..the coloring is great and they add great dramatic effect!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with her closet. However those snake pictures, although cool from a distance, my freak me the hell out if I get super close. So chic though!
ReplyDeleteTo have a closet like that... oh wow...
