clotheshorses

Obsessive wardrobe collectors

A clotheshorse is a frame, typically foldable, on which laundry is hung to dry indoors.

The term also describes a person excessively devoted to fashionable clothing and appearance—someone who treats themselves as a display rack for fine garments.

She's such a clotheshorse; her closet is bursting with designer labels.

The figurative sense carries mild disapproval, suggesting vanity or superficiality about dress.
