clos-ette case: Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti
Have you ever perused Vivre’s website or catalog and not encountered a dozen extraordinary items you didn’t know you needed? Neither have we. That’s because founder Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti has an expert eye for bona fide treasures. We’re talking malachite cuffs, crocodile hobos and Emu-feathered evening bags –just to name a few gems from her wildly successful retail empire. The Swiss-born beauty has spent the last decade traveling the globe for one-of-a-kind fashions (many of which...
clos-ette case: Bunny Williams
If you had told us, years ago, that we’d one day work with the fabulous Bunny Williams –well, we would have laughed in your face and gone back to color-coordinating our cocktail dresses. Alas, Clos-ette has afforded us some ‘pinch-me’ opportunities, and collaborating with the grand dame of decorating has been one of them. The wonderful Ms. Williams is an undisputed expert in the art of the traditional American design: her rooms are at once...
clos-ette case: Brian J. McCarthy
If and when you find yourself in possession of a large ambassador’s residence, Park Avenue penthouse, or Bel Air estate, Clos-ette has some advice for you. First, invite us over for drinks and let us convince you to turn the ballroom and/or staff quarters into the world’s largest closet. Then, get designer Brian J. McCarthy on the phone, stat. Known for versatile, antique-studded interiors, McCarthy has a knack for blending the classic grandeur that most...
clos-ette case: Kara Mann
As summer fades to fall, we find ourselves dreaming of bold, sexy, glamour-packed interiors –in other words, the work of designer Kara Mann. The Chicago-based designer has a knack for high-drama sophistication –think ink-black walls, antique carpets, velvet upholstery, and drapes for miles –all in a palette of luxe neutrals that feels timeless and of-the-moment at once. No wonder clients coast-to-coast are clamoring to hire her. While Mann’s well-publicized projects range from lakefront estates to...
clos-ette case: Nigel Barker
Clos-ette Too is all about researching and developing the very best hangers and accessories for your wardrobe. But after speaking with the oh-so-charming Nigel Barker, we think he might be the perfect addition to one’s closet. First, there’s the fact that he’s made a veritable career out of helping women look their best (17 “cycles” as an America’s Next Top Model judge will do that for you). The noted fashion photog has even written a...
clos-ette case: Stephanie Winston Wolkoff
Nothing sets our hearts aflutter quite like New York Fashion Week – and no one could pull off the extravaganza quite like Stephanie Winston Wolkoff. As fashion director at Lincoln Center, Wolkoff oversees the biannual runway shows of countless designers, and runs year-round fashion programs to boot. Is it any surprise, then, that she approaches her own wardrobe with artful care? The statuesque Vogue veteran has an affinity for seriously statement-making classics that most of...
clos-ette case: House of Lavande's Tracy Smith
In the world of accessories, there is jewelry and then there is jewelry –the kind of jaw-dropping, show-stopping treasures that elicit where-did-you-find-that shrieks. As founder of the vintage costume jewelry collection House of Lavande, Tracy Smith undoubtedly specializes in the latter. Inspired by her lifelong love affair with costume baubles, Smith’s handpicked collection features thousands of one-of-a-kind dazzlers from the likes of Kenneth Jay Lane, Lanvin, and other major names from the 20th century. Hollywood stylists have taken note: these days, the...
