The Archives Nashville To Host 2nd Annual Artist Closet Sale At CMA Fest
The Archives Nashville, the digital archiving and storage company specializing in musicians’ wardrobes, will host its second annual Artist Closet Sale during this year’s CMA Fest June 5-8.
The sale provides fans an opportunity to shop their favorite artists’ closets and will be held at Fan Fair X, from 10 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. daily. Fans will have the chance to purchase wardrobe items from stars including Dierks Bentley, Jordan Davis, Ernest, Riley Green, Tyler Hubbard, Wynonna Judd, Miranda Lambert, Ella Langley, Little Big Town, Ashley McBryde, Megan Moroney, Thomas Rhett and Lauren Akins, Jelly Roll, Alana Springsteen and Bailey Zimmerman.
A portion of the sales’s proceeds will support the CMA Foundation’s mission to provide students with access to high-quality music education and equip educators with the resources needed to sustain thriving programs. This year’s activation occupies double the space of last year’s Closet Sale, which raised over $30,000 for the CMA Foundation.
“We are excited to bring this unique shopping experience back to CMA Fest and support the CMA Foundation’s incredible work,” shares The Archives Founder and longtime celebrity stylist Tiffany Gifford. “Fans will again have the chance to own a piece of their favorite artists’ wardrobe while contributing to a cause that nurtures the next generation of musicians and educators.”
With the vast wardrobe that musicians acquire over the years, Gifford realized there were no viable wardrobe archiving solutions, so she created The Archives to help clients not only store their wardrobe safely and securely, but to offer a digital solution to keep all things organized, searchable and accessible to her clients and their teams. The Archives functions by taking inventory and digital photos of the desired wardrobe to be archived, giving teams the option to store pieces in their facilities or integrate their system into current storage locations. RFID tracking technology programmed into each piece allows for tracking movement of each garment with the online inventory showing all pieces and their location while allowing movement as needed.
