and some of our favorite ADR Tips :

“FALL has arrived! FALL as SPRING Is the right time to change season into your WARDROBE and to clean your CLOSET.


I’m going to tell you my TOP 10 rules:

Elimina tutta la FUFFA. perchè fuffa genera fuffa! I say this in Italian cause the word “FUFFA” is difficult to translate in English, but I try.

1. Remove all RUBBISH because rubbish generates rubbish!


2. How to FENG-SHUI teaches you, you must make a new empty ROOM for 
revitalize your seasonal wardrobe.


3. Store only the whole OUTFIT. In a future day u’ll not waste time trying 
desperately the missing piece that complete it.


4. Buy only thin, non-slip HANGERS in asbestos. Those big, slippery, old, 
wooden hangers take up too much space.


5. Organize your closet like an old LIBRARY each room must be devoted to a subject, to an ITEM: coats with coats, dresses with dresses, pants with pants, skirts with skirts … so you wouldn’t buy the same thing twice!


6. In front of a dress to KILL or to KEEP, ask yourself: future generations ‘ll want to see it? Your cabinet must follow the GEOLOGY’s criteria: the older stones are to be on the bottom, the younger eras must be layered on top. In your closet’s SECTION you can read the HISTORY of fashion.


7. Put the SHOES and BAGS away from clothes, in the appropriate boxes with Polaroids. The leather’s smell doesn’t match with the fabric’s smell.


8. Preserve the stretch STOCKINGS in their packaging. There’s nothing worse than wearing damaged filanca.


9. Don’t SQUEEZE the clothes on each other: like flowers in the garden need their space! You must accommodate the clothes like in amazing SHOP. So everything ‘ll look more INVITING and u’ll delete the usual complain “I have nothing to wear!”


10. Don’t use ANTI-MOTH chemicals, you don’t want to go out stinking of naphthalene!”
