Kelly Rowland: MyCloset.com: What are your wardrobe style elements, color?

KR: I HAVE A LOT OF COLOR. PINKS AND BLUES AND PURPLES. I LOVE FAIRY TALE FANTASY COLORS.

Any fashion muses?

KR: AUDREY HEPBURN. I LOVE HER STYLE. JACKIE O. THOSE ARE MY TWO FAVORITES. THEY HAD SUCH CLASSY CHIC STYLES. COMFORTABLE AS WELL, VERY FEMININE.

In your own closet, what’s your favorite piece?

KR: OH, THIS IS HARD, TO NAME ONE THING.

Shoes?

KR: ANY SHOES BY GUISEPPE ZANOTTI. HE’S MY FAVORITE SHOE DESIGNER. RIGHT NOW I LOVE THAT HE’S USING A WEDGE HEEL, AND I LOVE STONES HE USES ON HIS SHOES. IT’S VERY BEAUTIFUL.

If you could change one thing about your own closet, what would it be?

KR: I WOULDN’T GET RID OF ANYTHING. I DON’T REGRET ANYTHING.

Biggest fashion faux pas?

KR: THIS ONE REALLY TERRIBLE ORANGE AND TURQUOISE OUTFIT THAT I WORE ONCE, IT WAS REALLY BAD. IT JUST LOOKED BAD. BAD, BAD BAD!!! I THREW IT AWAY.

Kimora Lee Simmons MyCloset.com: If you were to give someone advice on how to store your collection in the closet, what would you say?

KLS: WELL YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD KEEP IT UNDER TEMPERATURE CONTROL. IT’S VERY IMPORTANT THAT IT’S NOT TOO HOT OR TOO COLD. YOU DON’T’ WANT TO TRAP HUMIDITY AND I’M LOOKING INTO A STORAGE FACILITY, WHICH IS WHAT BEYONCE’ DOES. BECAUSE I JUST NEED TO ARCHIVE THINGS. GET RID OF IT HONEY, CLEANSE, CLEANSE!

What do you need to cleanse from your own closet?

KLS: YOU NEED TO GET RID OF THINGS THAT YOU DO NOT LIKE OR WOULD NOT WEAR. NOT THAT RULE IF YOU HAVEN’T WORN IT IN SO MANY YEARS, YOU WON’T WEAR IT, BECAUSE I’VE PULLED THINGS OUT. BUT IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, THAT’S DIFFERENT. I DON’T LIKE CHUNKY HEELS. SO THERE’S NO REASON FOR THEM TO BE SITTING THERE.

What’s your best style advice?

KLS: KEEP THINGS BECAUSE SEASONS CHANGE. LOOK, NOW WE’RE WEARING TUNICS OVER PANTS, AND NEXT SEASON IT WILL BE A DRESS, AND NEXT SEASON YOU’LL HAVE IT AS A COVER UP ON THE BEACH. MIX AND MATCH AND DON’T BE AFRAID.

Three pieces you would never get rid of and why?

KLS: I WOULD NEVER GET RID OF MY MANY STILETTOS BECAUSE I LOVE THEM AND THEY MAKE MY LEGS LOOK GREAT. MANOLO BLAHNIK, JIMMY CHOO, GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI. I WOULD NEVER GET RID OF MY BIRKIN BAG. I HAVE ONE RIGHT HERE WITH MY BABY INSIDE, ZOE. AND I WOULD NEVER GET RID OF MY JEWELRY BECAUSE EVEN WHEN YOU ARE BUTT NAKED WITHOUT ANYTHING, YOU LOOK GREAT IN DIAMONDS.

** NOTE: HER BABY HERE – “ZOE” – IS A BLACK POMERANIAN.
