Posted on June 13, 2011 by melanie fascitelli

Pretty much everyone we know – from our Clos-ette clients to our chicest friends – has borderline addiction to the sample sale site Gilt. And while it’s hard to articulate all the reasons we adore it, we do know just who to thank: that would be the lovely Alexandra Wilkis Wilson, Gilt Groupe’s co-founder and Chief Merchandising Officer.

Posted on June 05, 2011 by melanie fascitelli

Greetings, Upper East Siders (and Clos-ette fans far and wide): we've got the low-down on Gossip Girl's most classically chic star. Kelly Rutherford and her glam TV alter ego might share a penchant for Birkin bags, but in real life the Kentucky native has a much more laidback, instinctual approach to her wardrobe.  "Over time you realize what feels appropriate to you and what looks good on you," Rutherford tells us.

One of the best parts about our work at Clos-ette is the chance to collaborate with extraordinarily talented designers like Celerie Kemble. Even better? Working with Kemble on her own Manhattan dressing room, which became one of the web’s most buzzed-about interior design images after it appeared in online décor bible Lonny.
