ART IN THE CLOSET: If you are lucky to have a modern dressing room, these images could be the ideal to inspire you. I remember first hearing details of Posh Spice’s Los Angeles closet—- a Warhol shoe print completed her $500,000 walls.
Your closet- even if it simply swings or slides open, or wheels out on a rack- can present ideals through art taped to the inside of a door (perhaps your style-spiration of the season shot by Mario Testino?) , hung on a wall beside a clothing rack (a vision board that functions as a collage?!?), or a postcard of someone you admire stylistically stuck in the corner of your morning mirror if you must…. All of these little ways are vital ways to purposefully let imagery and artistic expression reinforce your style and sense of personal luxury. (go for it!!!)
