I can't believe that it has been five years since RARE vintage first opened its doors at 24 West 57th Street in the New York Gallery Building stocked with vintage pieces from Alaia, Balmain, Chanel, Dior, Geoffrey Beene, Halston, Issey Miyake, Gres, Karl Lagerfeld (for Chloe and for Chanel), Missoni and so on and so on to Yves Saint Laurent and Zandra Rhodes! Vintage from A to Z.
New York is a fashion capital and I wanted to open an extraordinary shop dedicated to the best in vintage fashion. Haute Couture and ready to wear as well as the occasional anonymous fun vintage piece.
It is amazing to realize that my little store in just five years has been featured in Harper's Bazaar, Vogue.com, Elle, Avenue, WWD, the Wall Street Journal, In Style, People and many more publications. It is also amazing to realize that we have dressed some of the most brilliant, talented and beautiful actresses and musicians: Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Anne Hathaway, Rachel Weisz, Lady Gaga...
It has been a labor of love and I have loved almost every day of it. I have found some incredible beauties for the store and I have met some really wonderful and amazing people. Thank you everyone for five amazing years! And counting...
