Meet: Suzanne Boyd – powerhouse, creator and editor in chief of Zoomer magazine, which articulates the vibrant new reality of life at age 45+; business woman; friend; mentor; fashion influencer.
Let’s take a moment to dwell on that last bit – she’s a woman of incredible personal style whose approach to fashion is more similar to that of a brilliant curator and art history guru than it is mere shopper. She’s a careful collector of incredible design and craftsmanship, and wears clothes to articulate her own brand of power, intelligence and strength.
When we had the chance to visit with Suzanne and see for ourselves how she blends classic and vintage pieces with the best of the new season, we jumped at it. And, we’re thrilled to be able to share this inside view of her life and style.

The Céline black coat for it’s drama and feminine shape and the Céline slicker for it classic shape offset by the glamourous tiger print.

Lavishly! Pieces like that elevate everything and add newness. They can also be dressed up or down.
“
WHICH DESIGNERS INSPIRES YOU THE MOST AND WHY?
“Dries Van Noten makes me dream. His multi-culture world beat point of view is transportive and pieces from each season always integrate so easily into the ones prior. Everything he does is so full of artistry and soulful.”
“
HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR WARDROBE FRESH SEASON TO SEASON?
“Accessories, accessories, accessories… A great Givenchy earring or a chic Margiela clutch will do the trick.”
