Closet Rich, a new show on YouTube channel 'The Stylish,' follows the adorable Elizabeth Kott on her day-to-day life as she rifles through the unwanted clothes from the closets of her high-style clients and adds the choicest pieces to her online, L.A.-based store, closetrich.com. The viewers get to sneak a peek into the personal wardrobes of these fashion elite, learn some of the stories behind the pieces and watch how Kott finds a "home" for each piece.
Items that don’t make it to Kott’s Closet Rich store are donated to local L.A. charities including Dress For Success which gives clothing to women entering the workforce so they can have confidence in job interviews and the office. Kott believes everything should go to someone and states in the show’s preview, "I believe everything has a home."
