Wish you had more closet space?
Thanks to Jillian and the team at PureWow for recommending Garde Robe for winter clothes storage. "Sure, we'd all love Carrie Bradshaw's closet space (not to mention her Manolo collection), but the truth is that no nonfictional New York woman has all the storage room she needs.

The Hollywood Reporter Names Top 25 Celebrity Stylists
This year's Academy Awards was a display of gorgeous gowns and exquisite style. Octavia Spencer was glamorous in her stunning Tadashi Shoji gown; Cameron Diaz shined in her form-fitting Gucci dress; and who could ever forget Angelina Jolie's leg sexy Versace gown with the thigh-high slit? If you think these stars dress themselves, think again. Behind every well-dressed A-list celebrity is a talented stylist.
Celebrities shell out big bucks for a stylist who will make them look good. "I wouldn’t say [stylists] can make or break a career, but they almost can,” said Janice Min, editor of The Hollywood Reporter.
Garde Robe helps top stylists, such as Annabel Tollman, care for their clients by providing climate-controlled storage space for buzz-worthy gowns. Garde Robe photographs and catalogs individual items and gives visual access to clients with its virtual Cyber Closet. A-list celebrity clients often keep the gowns and tuxedos from the awards shows. To keep these garments looking pristine, they rely on Garde Robe.

Winter Clothing Storage Tips
So, you have the walk-in closet you always dreamed of and
assembled an impeccable collection of vintage, haute couture, evening wear,
footwear, furs and accessories. Now, how do you go about protecting your
precious winter wardrobe and keeping items in pristine condition during the summer?
Never store
your wardrobe in:
- Basements or attics where the
temperature and humidity levels are inconsistent
- Closed closets in your second
or infrequently visited home
- Closets that have an outside
wall (these closets tend to have higher relative humidity)
- Near a window with sunlight
- Plastic or vinyl bags
