I think that there s nothing better than a great coat.

It s the first thing people see and it can make a statement.

(laughs) You have a great coat you don t really have

to have that much more going on.

I m Catherine Piercy.

I m the beauty director of Vogue.com.

I tend to wear a lot of boyish pieces

so there was something slightly menswear

about this that I really liked.

That actually made me want to do the opposite

which was to put on a skirt and a heel.

It s Rag Bone.

I love Rag Bone, I mean, they re amazing.

It could go everywhere with me.

Can work for a couple of different seasons,

I can fit my stuff in it.

It s kind of the statement coat for the understated.

People wouldn t notice it the second

I walked into the room.

They might think it s cute,

but then when they got close to me they d be like,

Oh, my God that coat.

And everybody would be checking out the little details.

I have a billion coats,

I dream of having a giant coat closet someday

and that s not an exaggeration.

(laughs)

Fashion starts here in the closet.
