Hannah Traore Transforms Brooklyn Bedroom into Walk-In Closet
Gallerist Hannah Traore converted the primary bedroom of her Williamsburg apartment into a walk-in closet to combat New York's storage shortage. Her collection features crocheted Diotima, dimensional Magda Butrym, and gilded Wiederhoeft corsetry, reflecting her curatorial taste for colorful, sculptural pieces from emerging talent. Traore owns 15 to 20 pairs of glasses, including a vintage Chanel pair and favorites from Port Tanger. She treasures an indigo-dyed suit made in West Africa that belonged to her grandmother. Among her regrets is a suede zip-up shirt-jacket she gave away. Her biggest splurge was a Wiederhoeft corset bought during a Moda Operandi sale.
