Inside a Celebrity Stylist’s Boutique-Style Closet in a Houston Penthouse

Interior designer and celebrity stylist JoJo Zarur opens the doors to her favorite room in her Houston, Texas penthouse: a custom boutique-style closet inspired by Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner's, organized entirely by color with LED lighting beneath every shelf. At the center hangs the most expensive chandelier she has ever purchased — a piece so exclusive she returned four others before finally deciding to just work harder and buy the one she truly wanted. Her handbag collection is a story in itself. Chanel has been her ultimate love since childhood, including a rare mink piece, a runway bag gifted by her father, and a one-of-a-kind design she says looks more like jewelry than a purse. Her Hermès collection runs deep too, though she points out Birkins have been part of her life since childhood, when her mother carried them 20 years ago. Her favorite isn't the flashiest — it's a baby blue Hermès, chosen because for JoJo the story behind a purchase always matters more than the piece itself. Now at full capacity, she holds herself to a strict rule: for every new bag she buys, one must be given away. She recently gifted an employee her very first designer purse. Beyond this room, JoJo admits with a laugh that she has seven closets in the house and uses every single one — including two more upstairs dedicated to sneakers, heels, clothing, and carefully saved designer boxes she travels with so nothing loses its shape.

The tour ends in her garage, a room she designed with the same intention as any living space: LED ceiling lighting, gray epoxy floors, and enough room to work from the back seat of her Rolls-Royce, which doubles as her second office.
