A Rare Closet Moment 

The Beast! 

Acne Skin 5 Denim = Life 

Conquering ones closet is just that, conquering ones closet.  I have a lot less clothes than people think I would, (accusations), but I like it that way. There will be the pieces I never ever in life will sell or get rid of I.E. vintage YSL tuxedo jacket,  & camel wide leg silk trousers, or the black Fendi mini velvet bag I love so much, but its important to make the boundaries clear on what you like for 10seconds, and what you will wear for a lifetime.  Right now, and hopefully for the rest of my life, I’m in a minimal color, denim and leather, white tee stage. It’s funny because when you look at the inside images of my clothing racks here, all you see is color, but in reality I only break that stuff out for fashion month, and live in Acne the rest of the time.  So how does one take the jump and really get rid of what they don’t need or wear?

1.Try everything on in front of a panel of friends. Majority rules, then its gone!

2.Make an inspiration mood board of style Icons you admire and want to emulate.

3. You have to let it go! SELL SELL SELL, promise, you will not miss it!

4. Replace! Once you have sold the old, in with a few new items that are simple and basic!

In a frantic clutter-attack today, I decided to get rid of everything in my closet I did not love enough to hang on my wall and look at forever. I don't actually plan on displaying my coveted clothes on my studio walls, however I am passionate about buying less and loving what I own. In practicing what I preach, today happened.  Buffalo Exchange on 26th street in Chelsea was ecstatic, and I'm sure anyone else who comes and sifts through the racks will be just as excited to see half of my life there. In all seriousness, it's a tad bittersweet, the empty hangers are a bit nostalgic, but I'm not sure I needed a studded camo LF sweater, or the teal patent Victor&Rolf flats I bought at Barney's when I was 14. Looking into my almost bare closet today I laughed to myself, thinking I'm now going to be a little more French. What I mean by that, is having fewer things of nicer quality, non-trendy, classic pieces. After selling all my clothes, I replaced the old with a few new timeless pieces that speak to this new classic minimal chic vibe I'm trying to achieve from my closet. Overall what I'm sayin' is; sell stuff you don't wear, buy things you love, and remember minimalism. xxx
