When Lori Levine, who runs talent-booking agency Flying Television (flyingtelevision.com), moved into her Gramercy apartment, the tiny closets were the first things to go. “When this building was built, it was meant to be a halfway house,” says Levine, who purchased the pad in 2005. “The closets were designed so people could stay here for a couple of days—certainly not forever.” After construction workers came in and knocked down walls, she hired California Closets (californiaclosets.com) to create two organized wardrobes that would simplify her busy lifestyle (she later had her handyman build a third). Levine favors nonslip Huggable Hangers from the Container Store (629 Sixth Ave between 18th and 19th Sts • 725 Lexington Ave at 58th St • 212-366-4200, containerstore.com) to save space and keep garments from falling.

“It always seems to have one or two pieces that I need every single season,” enthuses Levine of this designer-clothing haven.

“I’m a little obsessed,” admits Levine. “Truth be told, I grew up with nothing—I didn’t have anything designer. Chanel was the epitome of [making it]. I always knew that when I got older, if I was able to, I’d shop at Chanel.”

Rag & Bone 73 E Houston St at Elizabeth St; 212-777-2210, rag-bone.com
Levine favors the Nolita location of this hip brand. “It isn’t very busy and the staff is so nice,” she explains. “And you can’t deny how good the jeans are.”

Saks Fifth Avenue 611 Fifth Ave between 49th and 50th Sts; 212-753-4000, saksfifthavenue.com
“I’m so busy working that shopping is the last thing I want to do,” admits Levine. “My personal shopper, Luba Rudkovskaya, is incredible. She chooses amazing items that somehow always work.”
