“My boots are from the Dior fall 2005 collection. I am wearing a dress with no label from the flea market. I layered three different tops to keep warm: a thermal, a Free People mock lace long sleeve, which was a hand me down from my older sister, and a cable knit cashmere sweater that my old roommate gifted me. The pink suede Bebe jacket is from Made This For You. The vintage fur hat is from The Melrose Trading Post and my bag is from Italy. Most of these clothes I bought used and I usually alter and restore pieces to keep them alive and circulating in my wardrobe.”

“I’m wearing a 60s leather set that I found for a steal while browsing the Gem app, a vintage agnès b. shirt. This outfit in particular was inspired by the color palette of a Schiaparelli dress I recently saw at The Met’s Women Dressing Women exhibit.”

“My dress by Batsheva, a sweater coat Emily, shoes Ele Handmade, sunglasses Aperçu, rainbow necklace by Bead Snob Boutique, bangles by Dinosaur Designs and Alexis Bittar, Vera Neumann scarf, and Katie France heart bag. Currently my style is inspired by my beautiful mother Carole Lasky, a painter and art historian. She loved the color blue so I’ve been trying to wear it a lot lately. She also celebrated bringing lots of bright happy colors into the everyday so that’s my celebration here.”

“I’m wearing an 80s patchwork jacket I got from Vanhees Vintage at A Current Affair. My dress is my mom’s wedding dress from the late 80s by Scott McClintock. Huge tote is vintage LL Bean. The sneakers are New Balance 990V3s and socks are Hanes! I feel inspired to rock things that make me feel special and that lift my energy. Some days that means dressing comfy. Other days it means pulling out all the tricks to make a completely funky outfit.”

“I’m wearing a vintage motorcycle jacket from Urban Outfitters, vintage Easy Tiger sweatshirt from L Train Vintage, vintage white jeans from Unearth Vintage, vintage Zodiac cowboy boots from Madame Fortuna in Narrowsburg, Okkia sunglasses, and Totem Salvaged Eye tote. I love color and patterns. I don’t overthink my style or worry if things go together or not. In my fashion world there aren’t very many rules. Wear what you like and have fun. Recently I got into long board dancing (skating) so wearing more sporty outfits, graphic tees, sneakers etc. For the evening I love to feel feminine and pretty so I’m often reaching for more fitted pieces. I love to dance so I also have to be comfy. Overall, my closet is full of beautiful vintage and new pieces that reflect my colorful and happy life.”

Melanie, 30 Bretagne, 29

Melanie: “I’m wearing a Super Puff jacket, Entire Studios hoodie, Marithe Francois Girbaud skirt from James Veloria, and Fidan Novruzova boots. What currently inspires my style is the weather. If it’s cold and rainy I wear dark or muted colors, looser, draped silhouettes, but when it’s warm, I wear more colorful clothing, which is usually paired with a mini skirt and boots. I lean towards shoes and clothes I feel less people would have, because I’d hate to see someone wearing the same thing as me.”

Bretagne: “My track pants and jacket are hand me downs. The Duality Junkie double brim hat I borrowed from my girlfriend. We just moved in together so I’m seeing what’s up with her closet. I love soft, lived in clothes. My friends and fam always set things aside for me. I like pulling up like I could’ve been anywhere before this. And i love wearing green.”

“I’m wearing Dauan Jacari hat, Nine Seven shirt, Kadakada jacket, Veerkracht jeans, and Martine Rose shoes. Unique and meaningful designs that stand out, reconstructed clothing, 90s fashion, functionality, and those that are close to me are my inspiration.”

Leila, 31

“I’m wearing Collina Strada x Reebok sneakers, Dauan Jacari denim skirt, an old cotton t-shirt I cropped to give it a new life, Wray vegan leather jacket, Puppets and Puppets bag, an Old Navy scarf I bought in high school, a Toast jewelry lapis pearl choker, and a pearl and lapis hair clip by me. My style is driven by comfort and ease, but also by feeling strong in my body. Honestly, I’m just silly at heart so I love a weird item that makes you look twice. I’ve been particular since I was quite young, proportion and lines have to hit just right. I tend to find specific pieces I love and wear them down to the bone. I enjoy the challenge of wearing the same look over and over, but tweaking it and bringing something new every time. Those items are all pieces of my former life coming together to create the now. Something about that is really wonderful to me.“

“The skirt I crocheted with leftover scrap yarns I had lying around, the scarf is custom-knit by my bestie @ivafs.art, the tights were a gift but I think they were from Amazon, the top is vintage Cynthia Steffe, the jacket is thrifted, nd the boots are from John Fluevog. I get inspiration from everything, but my main priorities (apart from the weather) are whether 13 year old me would like my fit, and whether it makes me happy in the moment.”

Sarah, 26

“I hand-knitted my scarf and pants from my brand. Top by Tyler McGillivary she gave my last day there; jacket is from Hard-off in Japan. Roommate gifted kitten heels, best friend this purse. I cherish these gifts and my being able to make clothing for the people I love most in return. I’m very into sustainability and it inspires me to figure out different methods of conscious sourcing, limiting waste, and making unique slowly created one off pieces that people will want to take special care of.”
