Inside Her Wardrobe: Suzanne Rogers

What better way to start the new Rachelle feature, Inside Her Wardrobe, than with the single most inspiring dressing room and entire high fashion collection I've ever come across; the closet of Suzanne Rogers.

A little bit of leather and a whole lot of lace. Nobody does it quite like Suzanne Rogers - a Toronto-based fashion icon who has one bloody impeccable closet. There's closets and then there's Suzanne's wardrobe - browse through these pictures as what is truly fashion porn at its finest. Behind the McQueen couture and Mary Katrantzou printed must-haves, Suzanne uses her knowledge and connections with designers to help raise funds for a range global children's charities. Saying she's a fashion aficionado just doesn't quite do her justice. And the best part? In the last two years, she's managed to raise over $1000000 for charities around the world, in her sky-high baby blue YSL pumps nonetheless. And she seems to do it all (with Birkin in hand) while raising three kids. Really.

"Loved these rock and roll jackets. They are so tough yet so feminine with the crystal bows and crystal details. I love how Balmain does that balance of rocker chic."

"I love colour from head to toe! I will wear bright colors even when I am 90. I love to express myself with color and patterns. It can be risky at times, but that’s what fashion is to me – taking a risk with what you love and being comfortable with who you are to take that fashion plunge!"

"Mary Katrantzou is my ultimate new favorite designer – I go crazy for her beautiful original prints; ultimate chic, such detail. I could never get bored of Mary being a staple in my closet! Some of these were custom done for me by her, I’m very lucky."

"I have really been drawn to all the Brit designers in the past few years; such originals in their style. I love to try new looks and designers." - All jackets by Christopher Kane.

"I loved the Ming print from this season Rodarte and Nicholas’s shoes just rock the dress. Rare pieces that will be fashion inspirations for years to come."

"I love the structure in the Chanel handbags and the vast shapes and styles that are collectibles from season to season. These bags will always have a place in my closet!"
