Life With The Coveteur (and Into the Closets of J.W. Anderson, Erdem, and Susie Bubble)
LONDON–We’ve all come to know and love The Coveteur‘s intimate portraits of the fashion elite’s covetable wardrobes ever since the site opened its proverbial doors over a year ago. Despite being relatively new, the site’s dynamic founding duo Stephanie Mark and Erin Kleinberg have already curated online editorials from over 100 closets including style pioneers like Simon Doonan and Patricia Field, and have done a number of big-name collabs (with Elle, W and Who What Wear to name a few).
I was lucky enough to snag an invitation to tag along with Stephanie and Erin and their photographer Jake Rosenberg when The Coveteur took London by storm. I was dying to find out just how they create their impeccably styled stories and what it’s like to step into the personal closets of fashion heavyweights. As a fellow Canadian, I was delighted to discover that these super-stylish girls are the definition of a Canadian best friend (in fact they met when they were besties at summer camp): friendly, warm and approachable. I could immediately see why they’ve been granted access into these trendsetters’ most intimate spaces.

Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men’s Sally Draper) Designs Her Own Dresses
The Coveteur recently profiled the closet and home of Kiernan Shipka, better known as Mad Men‘s Sally Draper. The precocious tween dresses a lot like her TV counterpart–favoring early ’60s Peter Pan-collared girly silhouettes from a Portuguese brand called Papo d’ Anjo. But when she’s not wearing Papo d’Anjo (which is hardly ever, it seems), she makes her own dresses (see above, left).
“This dress is actually an original design of mine,” Shipka told the Coveteur. “I love the color and the fabric, which is a raw silk taffeta. I spent days going through all the fabric shops in downtown LA to find this fabric… I made many changes to the dress along the way. It took about a year to finish. It turned out great!” We agree. Shipka has already got her own signature style down pat–do we smell another actress-turned-designer?

The Coveted is Now The Coveteur
After last week’s battle between The-Coveted.com and TheCoveted.com–the new website that takes a peek inside the homes of fashion favorites–the latter has decided to changed its name to The Coveteur. Here’s the email received from co-founder Stephanie Mark this morning:
After the recent on-line buzz regarding our use of thecoveted.com, we write to advise you that as of tomorrow our business will be rebranded as The Coveteur and henceforth we will be using that name and our new website www.thecoveteur.com. Using the name “The Coveteur”, we will transition to a brand identity that we feel better encapsulates our concept. In regards to the legal issues surrounding our dispute with the-coveted.com, we refer you to our statement on www.thecoveted.com and are happy to be able to put these issues behind us. So, as of February 2, 2011, we will be known as “The Coveteur” and we look forward to bringing you new and exciting content weekly. Thank you for all of your support.
Sincerely,
Erin and Stephanie
