My obsession with capsule wardrobes began after a trip to London where I purchased a book by Suzie Faux. There wasn’t much to support my interest before the internet. I searched high and low and even took a two-week image consulting program and came away even more frustrated. We learned how to build capsule wardrobes and saw many examples and how they worked if planned properly. It seemed, however, that no one could show or explain how to create ALL the possible outfits with those limited garments.
Despite innumerable books, classes, and seminars on mix and match wardrobes, I was not able to find a systematic method for combining garments. Until now, everything was just a random mixing and matching, but no real methodical process. I was always trying to build the perfect wardrobe (the perfectionist in me) that would take me everywhere with only a small number of garments. After 10+ years of planning, experimenting, and designing, the tool, My Paper Closet, finally became a reality. (And to my knowledge, it is the only tool of its kind available.)
And today, with the trends toward “less is more” and minimalism, the tool is even more necessary and relevant. In addition to the tool portion of MPC, guidelines are included to teach the novice how to build a capsule wardrobe. MPC works with any style clothing, any age group, any lifestyle, and is suitable for women, men, and children (although the illustrations are geared toward women).
