The erected garment rack can be used to hang garments across a hanger pole and display shoes on an elevated shoe rack. The garment rack is self containing and collapses easily and efficiently into a tray and cover board. The garment rack is easily maneuvered while erected or collapsed on a set of casters located at the bottom of the garment rack. Additionally, the garment rack can be used as part of a clothing transport system which comprises a clothing transport bag that attaches to the top of the cover board while the garment rack is collapsed. This way, the garments and garment rack can be transported as one unit.
