“I’m wearing a jack-o’-lantern hat from Etsy, eye earrings hand beaded by a dear friend, a blouse by Pavietra, a 60s dress from the vintage show, my grandfather’s watch, and a jacket by Barok. Right now I’m really into the 1960s medieval revival, and bright colors. It’s spring!”

“I’m wearing a 40s Mexican bicycle straw hat, Rare Bird Aesthetics bolo tie, 40s Hungarian blouse, 50s collapsible hoop skirt, 70s Georgio Sant Angelo paneled midi skirt, Betsey Johnson fishnet tights, 70s green buckle socks, and mismatched 80s Gucci loafers. The inspiration for my outfit came from a desire to stand out and spark joy in the imagination of my fellow vintage lovers. I wanted to find an intersection between psychedelic and clown while also pushing the boundaries of what fashion is ’supposed’ to be.”

“I am wearing a 70s dress from a Mexican design house Jésus a Diaz. The coat and silk scarf are thrifted. My style is high school art teacher meets old Hollywood glam with a touch of tacky, all elevated by living in NYC for 18 years and finding fashion inspiration all around.”

“I’m wearing a 40s blazer, 70s top, Dries Van Noten dress, Maison Margiela tabi boots, and 70s bag. Layered style is my style! I mix the essence of old, new, fashion, vintage, ethnic costumes and handcrafts in my own way.”

“I’m wearing a blazer I remade and a skirt I made out of vintage ties. I’m also wearing a thrifted denim skirt and my grandma’s boots. I get my outfit inspiration from different styles and periods, always looking for a way to mix these elements. I like to go to people’s closets and pick some stuff that I can mess around.”

Lauren, 30
“I am wearing a Sasson blazer from Goodwill, Levis from a clothing swap, Doc Marten loafers, sunglasses from Twilight Vintage and a Balenciaga City Mini bag from Frivoli. Not trying to be an ass kisser but honestly I find so much inspiration checking out the different clothing ensembles on this Instagram. I keep a little saved folder of all my favorite looks and flip through when I’m having an outfit crisis to get ideas.”

“I’m wearing my new favorite pants from Big Bud Press, a dream 70s shirt from Pandulce at Artists & Fleas in LA, and the perfect lightweight jacket from Going Home Vintage in NYC. I’m trying to look good and also be comfortable! I used to suffer for fashion on the daily and now I’m all about finding that balance. I’m currently trying to make more calculated purchases and buy those pieces I truly love.“

“I’m wearing a pair of 60s Japanese boys jeans from Floral Haze Vintage, 60s men’s golf shirt from Everything Goes Vintage on Staten Island under a vintage leather vest from Guerrisol France in Paris, and a thrifted snakeskin jacket. Accessories are an 80s bolo tie, thrifted butterfly scarf, thrifted 60s Italian boots, and my chocolate Telfar circle bag. My style is inspired by West African portrait photography of the 60s/70s, exploitation cinema, and Black America.”

Chianti, 32
“I’m wearing a vintage Noviello Bloom lambskin leather set. I recently got inspired by the 80s style, with more defined shoulder and structured cutting, and very bright color. I feel powerful when I dress in 80s styles, because bright color scream for attention and the defined shoulder make you feel powerful as an armor.”

Tess, 24
“I’m wearing a 70s psychedelic polyester maxi dress under a vintage wool sweater from Magma Vintage adorned with a few handmade and vintage pins. To top it off, I accessorized with a vintage floral chiffon scarf I’m wearing as a tie, a 90s velveteen beret, and my Doc Marten Mary Janes. I’m heavily inspired by late 60s & 70s psychedelic glamour girls and vintage burlesque performers.“

My outfit is inspired by 1840s European fashion pattern mixing.”

“I’m wearing my favorite vintage sewing machine themed sweater, yard666sale top, vintage 70s pleated skirt, and hand-me-down red pleather cowgirl boots. My style is always full of color and textures, but specifically, my style is majorly influenced by playing with experimental makeup, hope for spring, and @tinyjewishgirl.”

Rosa, 23
“My shoes are from Stella Dallas, vintage skirt and H&M coat from Beacon’s Closet, tank top from Zara, and J.Crew cardigan is thrifted.

Nicole, 35
“I’m wearing a skirt I handmade from a thrifted vintage strawberry print blanket with strawberry charms as buttons, 80s lace top, handmade cream silk top, vintage lace peignoir, with a vintage faux fur cropped jacket my boyfriend gifted me. It’s really cliché but I’m inspired to finally wear the things that didn’t get as much love over the past two years – I’ve been rewearing and reimagining my vintage pieces, sewing and creating my own designs, and shopping new-to-me vintage mindfully to fill in the gaps of my wardrobe.”

King, 27
“My style is a mixture of eclectic vintage pieces from a variety of eras depending on how I feel. Often both a futuristic flare from Edwardian to Victorian all the way up to the early 2000s. The jacket is Escada, the rest are found from thrift stores, the shoes vintage 80s-90s heels.”

“I am wearing a Zara leather jacket, I am Gia top, Aritzia leather pants, Alexander Wang boots, and Brandy Melville purse. The key points of my outfits are always to be comfy and be who I am. I always wear what I feel at the moment. Today I feel like I am a cool girl in the city so that’s why I chose those items.”

Isabella, 21Amanda: “I’m wearing a Vivienne Westwood white button-up, thrifted Looney Toons tie, thrifted suspenders, thrifted cowboy boots and thrifted slacks. A big part of what I wear is stuff that my inner child would love. Anything fun and colorful I gravitate towards.”
Isabella: “I’m wearing thrifted leather pants, a velvet Levi’s vest, Pierre Cardin button-up and thrifted leather boots. The best part of the outfit is the rhinestone tie that I found at Goodwill. What currently inspires my style are cartoons from my childhood. I ask myself would 13-year-old me think I’m cool, if the answer is anything but yes it’s not for me.”
