Show Notes
We're off for our August hiatus, but we couldn't go quiet without re-sharing one of our favorite conversations from the past year. After last week's closet cleanout episode, this one felt like the perfect follow-up — because once you've edited your wardrobe down, the next question is how to actually take care of what's left.
Have you ever wondered where all the red carpet gowns go when the night is over? Meet Julie Ann Clauss, the founder and head archivist of The Wardrobe, a fashion archive based in Los Angeles and home to the wardrobes of Chloe Sevigny and some of our favorites celebs. After getting her masters at FIT in Fashion History, Julie Ann was poached by Tom Ford to create his archive, and then went on to create the archives of Jason Wu, Carolina Herrera, Proenza Schouler, Ralph Lauren, and many more. In today's episode, Julie Ann walks us through the art of archiving, her best preservation tips, and what she thinks will be most collectable from 2025.

More from Let's Get Dressed
Fresh off the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, I'm sitting on my closet floor (still in full glam!) to unpack everything that went down. From Kylie Jenner's $50 million Fantasy Bra and the return of the OG Angels to the incredible performances, surprise celebrity sightings, and the moments that made me emotional, we're getting into it all.
Is your wardrobe a want, a need, or an investment? Haley Sacks, aka Mrs. Dow Jones, makes the case that the clothes are never the investment. The investment is you in the clothes.
If you've ever wanted to channel your inner maximalist but didn't know where to start, this episode is for you.
I'm back with another September AMA episode, and this one is packed. We get into how to actually land a Fashion Week invite as a creative, what to wear to your first job in corporate fashion, and at-home hand-wash strategy I've been using to avoid the dry cleaner. We also get into how to keep your clothes shed-free if you live with a dog, the best coats and jackets to buy for fall (starting with the perfect ME+EM black jacket everyone needs), the designer canvas tote that isn't Dior, and what to wear on a date night.
Linoy Friedman, AKA What People Are Wearing breaks down the trends she spotted at New York Fashion Week. We get into the pop of red moment taking over street style (and how to actually find your shade), the sweater-tied-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack and not a trend at all, the return of statement necklaces and brooches as finishing touches, and the 3D texture -- fringe, feathers, pom-poms -- showing up on everything this season. We talk about why over-logoing an outfit is the fastest way to lose it, why "wear the trend, don't let the trend wear you" is the only rule either of us follows anymore, and her theory on which trends are actually worth buying into versus styling with what's already in your closet. We also get into her favorite shows of the week, the jeans and tees she and Liv actually reach for on repeat, and what she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner if she wanted to feel elevated without trying too hard.
