Slideshow: A Look Inside Robert Verdi's Luxe Lab

By now, you probably have a sense of how much we at StyledOn love Robert Verdi. He is is charismatic, charming, and deliciously sassy – not to mention he has incredible taste. His Luxe Laboratory is an event space that is just that: luxe.

Full of gorgeous artwork and furniture, it feels like someone's home, and even used the space for our site launch in May 2010. Since then, we've been back for Fashion Week events, tweet-ups, and just to say "hello," and now we're offering you a sneak peek inside not only Robert's gorgeous Luxe Lab, but also a look at his jaw-dropping wardrobe.

Robert's custom Hermes scarf vans rest easy on his custom Levi's couch. All about custom. Only Robert.

When you happen to be friends with the guy in charge at Vans and you love Hermes everything, chic things are bound to happen. All custom, one-of-a-kind Vans made directly from Hermes scarves. Sorry guys, Robert is the only guy who has 'em.

Your couch is micro-suede? Verdi's is made of his old Levi's. A chic-er way to recycle, no?

Not only does the Luxe Lab look amazing, it runs like a dream. The space features top of the line tech devices making attending events there as easy as throwing them – and these Barcelona chairs from Knoll are a perennial favorite.

Verdi is also friends with Jonathan Adler and you'll find his work all over the space, including atop this bone-inlaid chest from India.

Another chic seat. This pieced fur pillow is as soft as it looks. The chair is an antique from Mexico, upholstered in black cotton chenill.

Interest sits everywhere in Verdi's Luxe Lab. There isn't anything the eye simply passes over. The photo on the far wall is by Andrew Moore, called "The Palace Theater."

If there is one thing Robert Verdi is known for, it is his amazing collection of sunglasses, including these from Maison Martin Margiela.

Artfully stacked books, including The Book of Job from Rizzoli (top), offer page-after-page of inspiration.

Because every well dressed man should have a pair from Cartier...

These see-through loafers are custom-made Max Kibardin in collaboration with Ike Ude, and the cushion they're resting on is covered in Donghia mohair velvet. So luscious!

Do you see what we see? Scandalous! The footbed was custom-stitched by the artist Ike Ude.

We're every bit as obsessed with fashion books as Verdi and would love to get our hands on his library from Assouline.

Shades and shoes = our favorite kind of dessert. The patent, tassled loafers are by Christian Louboutin.

Never have we ever met a man with more sunglasses. Here, a pair of Verdi's striped Salvatore Ferragamo sunnies.

Robert's space opens out onto a beautiful, lush terrace. Sigh...

The Frakenbag. Created from several of Robert's designer bags (Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, etc.), his Frankenbag is truly a one-of-a-kind study and play in the world of luxury logos.

More books, including a tiny tome on manners.

These hand-beaded loafers by Trussardi are nothing short of exquisite.

Green or blue? Why not one of each! These colorful kicks are both by Paul Smith.

We love a man in top siders, especially when they're pink! This pair is also by the master of color, Paul Smith.

We seriously can't get enough of these Vans.
