The principle ? The former Brazilian model is asked to help people whose the wardrobe is overflowing. Alongside them, she sorts their clothes and determines which ones they should part with. The stylist and her teams then put these pieces up for sale on second hand platformsin consignment stores and on the show’s Instagram account named @lesbonnesadressesm6.
