She says that there are foldable coat hangers but none fold while hanging while holding clothes.

I have no idea if this is true or not but that is the problem statement.

That sounds like a solution attempt masquerading as a problem statement. Repeating it does not answer the question: “but why do you want a foldable coat hanger which can fold while hanging”.

The goal of folding something is almost always to reduce its length.

These are nine inches long when folded, ordinary hangers are seventeen inches long. [1]
