Posted on August 23, 2011 by Melanie Charlton

Samantha Yanks knows a thing or two about stylish multitasking. Between running Gotham and Hamptons magazines (the latter of which features Clos-ette in its Fall Fashion issue), the editor-in-chief has found time to dabble in jewelry design. “Jewelry is something I feel really passionate about,” says the native New Yorker, who got her start at Vogue. Her debut effort – an array of stunning tasseled necklaces  – launched this summer in collaboration with Jennifer Miller Jewelry....

clos-ette case: Sara Gilbane

Posted on August 02, 2011 by Melanie Charlton

There’s nothing worse than a living space that feels more like a showroom than a place for you to kick back and enjoy. That’s precisely why we’re mad for Sara Gilbane’s young, warm, and eminently livable interiors. The New York-based designer –and former Celerie Kemble protégé –has a knack for creating the sort of classic-but-eclectic rooms that boast heaps of color, pattern, comfort and personality. And we are far from her only fans: Gilbane, who...

Posted on July 11, 2011 by melanie fascitelli

Clos-ette might work with stylish clients all over the world, but we’re particularly partial to knock-‘em-dead New Yorkers. Among our favorites: Cristina Greeven Cuomo, the Manhattan-bred media powerhouse with a high-powered wardrobe to match. After nearly a decade heading up Gotham and Hamptons magazines for Niche Media, the mother of three is now stepping in front of the camera –and showing off her impeccable taste  –as a host and Content Chief for Plum Network. Whether she’s...

clos-ette case: Emma Jane Pilkington

Posted on July 04, 2011 by Melanie Charlton

It’s true: the Clos-ette team has been known to swoon and squeal at the sight of a beautifully-designed room. And Emma Jane Pilkington –one of our long-time design crushes –has a knack for creating just the type of lovely, classic interiors that provoke gushes of adoration. Sought by style-setters like Ivanka Trump and Cristina Greeven Cuomo, the native Australian is known for creating spaces that are at once traditional, tasteful, and totally fresh. It’s no surprise, then....

Well, it’s officially bikini season. And who better to give us the scoop on a beach-ready wardrobe than a bona fide Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model? Cue Julie Henderson, the blonde Texan bombshell who’s appeared in the issue a whopping five years in a row, in addition to campaigns for Benetton and Tommy Bahama. With gigs all over the world, the self-described “jeans and t-shirt kind of girl” spends much of her time living out of...
