Sorry, I am my mother's child after all. They all just look messy to me.

I've done this sort of arrangement a few times in a bedroom-dressing room to brighten it with colorful items. It's an amusing, casual look that can be changed out quickly and easily. A full-length 3-way mirror would complete the look if there were space. I often use concealed binder clips and unusual hangers and hooks.

looks great in a clothing store, not at home...seems very pretentious to me.

For me, it turns out playful rather than pretentious. In fact, it may be fun in a child's room. It's best as a temporary look.

For a more elegant look, something like an antique kimono could be displayed instead of something you actually wear. I saw an impressive display of vintage Peruvian hats in the home of people who'd visited there repeatedly. They travelled to Miami better than ceramic or stone items would have done.

AT keeps pawning this off as "Style"

It's great for a vintage clothing store...
...but not for your home - and not good for your clothing.

I think this is the type of look where if you know someone quirky and eccentric and artsy, you could see how it portrays them perfectly. Though I really like the look of the first and last photo, its not my personal style but kudos either way :0) Getting off topic a bit, I just cant seem to get into the animal rugs... oddly enough I love animal prints but these animal hydes just look a mess to me... i know, i know... clothes on a wall arent messy to me, but animal skin rugs on the ground are... how that makes sense I just dont know lol

sorry dont like the idea. I think thats what closets are for.

I have a hook by my closet where I keep a "go-to" outfit for when I need to dash, but look like I spent time on my outfit. It cuts about a half hour out of the days when something unexpected comes up.

I don't think I'm too much of a fan of the clothes hanging on a wall. But I'm toying with the idea of donning my hanbok (traditional Korean outfit) on a dress form and displaying it. What are your opinions?

btw, if you don't know what a hanbok is, here's a link:

I'm not in favor of this. I remember first seeing it being done in LivingEtc magazine around 2002-3, and I thought "Oh, they're just staging it like this to make seem casual", but them I saw it done in other mags and on TV shows. To me it feels pretentious.

as much as i love my clothes, i wouldnt display it out in the open at home. if it is something very beautiful, at least put it on a dress stand and display it like an art piece, rather than "that is what i will wear tomorrow" feeling

I don't want to live in a department store, although I don't care if others do.

I agree, though, that a beautiful vintage kinomo, hung with a bamboo rod through the sleeves on a wall is the one wearable that I can see as decor. Mainly because the structure of the traditonal kimono is in flat panels that are laboriously hand decorated in a way that totally lends themselves to wall art. They hang flat like banners.

(Since my kimonos are, sadly, all tourist grade bathrobes -- even though very pretty -- I just keep one of them on an over-the-door hook. It's available to use if I want to, and adds a bit of color otherwise -- decor, but also a single ready-to-use piece of clothing.)

One of my friends hung her sundresses across a wall of her bedroom. They weren't flat against the wall and laid out but actually HUNG through the straps using rather long nails. It didn't seem pretentious at all...more like a rainbow of fabric flowing from one end of the room to another.
