TV: Share a fun fact about what you’re wearing.
TN: These jeans I have had forever and I repurposed them with a tank top I didn’t like, then I just sewed them together. It’s like their first day out in New York. They’re probably going to get ruined in two days, but it’s fine.
Mia Safanda, 18, College Student
TV: How did you hear about the market?
Mia Safanda: My mom actually sent it to me on Instagram. She lives in California, but she always sends me stuff that she finds in New York.
TV: What’re you most excited to find today?
MS: I honestly came just to talk and meet people. We’ll see if I find something. If it really jumps out at me, maybe like a nice vintage dress or cute heels.
TV: Walk me through your outfit. How does shopping secondhand enhance your personal style?
MS: I got this dress at a vintage store in Chelsea, the one by the galleries. I’m also wearing vintage Frye boots, an old American Eagle purse, and a little scarf. I love finding unique pieces and [making] sure they’re good quality, which is kind of why I buy vintage clothing.
Kira King, 29, Stylist and Personal Shopper
TV: What brought you to the market?
Kira King: My friend sent me the link, we’re going to have a little girls’ day. I’m waiting for her to come meet me.
TV: What are you most excited to look for?
KK: Honestly, I’ve [already] crossed off a lot of my holy grails. I’ve been finding really good vintage Louis Vuitton lately, including this butterfly bag. Even though it holds literally nothing, it’s just so cute and dainty. I’m always searching and never know what I’m going to find.
TV: What first drew you to secondhand clothes?
KK: My grandmother always had custom pieces made, and I have a bunch of her things in my closet now — giving pieces new life. My personal favorite of hers is this striped linen cutout dress that’s so simple. You could dress it up, dress it down, play around with it.
TV: How do you feel when you wear items from her wardrobe?
KK: I feel like [I’ve] transcended time. I’d never even met my grandmother, she passed before I was born. These are pieces that my mother gave to me from her, so it [feels] like I’m getting to know her through them.
Rian Phin, 31, Fashion Historian
TV: What is your absolute dream item?
Rian Phin: Maybe Junya Watanabe Runway, the 2003 Spring parachute [piece] with all the harnesses and stuff. Maybe.
TV: What pieces have stood out to you the most?
RP: I saw a Junya green military vest, which was really iconic, and some Dior, like early-2000s sexy pants. There’s a lot of really cool, weird stuff here.
TV: Speaking of iconic pieces, tell me all about your outfit.
RP: Everything I’m wearing is from eBay. I have Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2002, and an Issey Miyake Pleats Please dress on. And then a Prada, I think Fall 1998 leaves dress. It’s all earth-toned and natural, because I’m currently feeling weird about the world.
TV: What about shopping secondhand most appeals to you?
RP: I feel like there are so many stories in secondhand clothes; there is a history and a life before now that exists within the garment. It’s a really fun way of looking at history and understanding people’s pasts.
