“I was not storing things properly,” says the actress of deciding to entrust everything from Met Gala dresses to items she wore in 'Kids' and 'Gummo' with The Wardrobe archiving service, which recently opened its first L.A. outpost.
Sevigny connected with The Wardrobe founder Julie Ann Clauss over Instagram. The two met up at the actress’ storage unit in Connecticut and began sorting through her trove of clothes. The items include spring 1996 Miu Miu designs ; a blue T-shirt from her breakout role in 1995’s; Alexander McQueen and Proenza Schouler dresses worn to the Met Gala; and “my first pair of Margiela’s famous cloven-toe Tabi boots.
As she walks around the warehouse, Clauss points out a newly accessioned garment that had previously not been properly stored. “You can see it’s not very happy — the shoulder line will be destroyed,” she says of a dress on a hanger that will be transferred to a box and laid flat. Clauss — whose clients include another Oscar nominee, a multi-Grammy winner and designers like Ford — offers a quick peek inside an enormous room that houses an archive for an unnamed star. “It’s everything that gets worn on tour, every performance, every red carpet appearance and things that are publicly seen on Instagram,” notes Clauss, adding that all of her clients can access digital records of their collections. Prices start at $350 a month.
The work of archiving collections also includes properly identifying where and when clothing was worn. “There are certain clients where I’ll be like, ‘What is this piece?’ and we’re racking our brains trying to figure it out and then we’ll see [it on] a fan account on Instagram and go ‘This is amazing’ We’ll know exactly what day it was worn and where,” says Clauss., says the work of organizing her collection has included similar research.
