When Hailey Bieber and Maison Trouvaille’s Erick Garcia first walked into Rhode’s office in Beverly Hills, it was…a masculine space. The previous tenant was Dwayne Johnson. It looked “obviously what you could imagine The Rock’s office looking like,” Garcia says. Heavy woods, dark leather chairs, and large-scale furniture—a great style for the 6’4”, 250-pounds-of-pure muscle business mogul. But perhaps the antithesis of Bieber’s taste in interiors, as the de-facto face of the minimalist, squeaky-clean “clean girl” aesthetic. “I wanted it to feel like a calming, relaxed, vibey place,” Bieber tells Vogue. “I want people to step in and be like, ‘Oh yeah, this feels like the world of Rhode.’”
While wondering how to go from this to that, Garcia noticed Bieber pull out a Rhode lip tint. A lightbulb moment happened for them both: what if they had an elaborate wall-spanning bronze mirror, right when the elevator opened? “You check your fit, you can take a little picture—it’s just a fun thing to first step into the office,” Bieber says. Garcia also adds that for a beauty brand, a statement mirror is a matter of function: “We wanted her, and her team, to be able to try things and shoot content.” The earth-toned color, meanwhile, was a fun nod to her consistently sold-out Espresso lint tint.
