Visual Closet

Press

Fashion was drawn long before it was photographed. Visual Closet is an outfit planner where the garments are illustrated by hand — a designer's board for your own clothes. Everything on this page can be used as is; write to hello@visualcloset.app if you need something that isn't here.

The short version

Every collection begins as drawings on a board — flats laid out, moved around, decided on, long before a garment exists. Visual Closet puts that board in your pocket and fills it with your own wardrobe. You pick from a closet's worth of garments illustrated by hand, tap a color or pattern, and they're yours; or type your whole closet in one sentence. Lay them out, make a Look, put it on the calendar, pack it for the trip. No photographs, no cataloguing. Everything stays on your device. Free to try; one purchase unlocks the whole app, no subscription. Drawn and built by one person in Tampa, Florida.

Why it's drawn

Fashion plates, croquis, flats, the illustrated Vogue cover — clothing was drawn for two centuries before a camera was pointed at it, and designers never stopped. A collection still starts as a sheet of flats on a board.

Every wardrobe app made since asks you to photograph your closet first, and most people quit somewhere around the twentieth hanger. Visual Closet goes the other way: the pieces are already drawn, so the wardrobe exists the moment you open it. The photograph is the newcomer here. The drawing is the native form.

Where it came from

Visual Closet began as my grandmother Kathleen's idea, about twenty years ago. I was the tech kid in the family and knew my way around vector files, so I drew the women's clothing for her — not knowing what a camisole was, or the difference between a halter top and a blouse — and then I slowly built the interface and got invested. Life circumstances happened and it was eventually put on the back burner.

When I found the old art files recently, I finished it here, partly for her; a lot of the hand-drawn clothes in the app are the originals. Technology caught up with the idea so it was doable and I think she'd like it a lot.

Her line from that plan was “make morning simple.” The listing ends on it, grown up: morning made simple.
