From Bella Hadid to the Kardashian-Jenner sisters, vintage is the latest frontier of shopping
August 31st, 2021
It seems that vintage fashion is the new must-have of the celebrities, who increasingly choose archive or second-hand items for appearances on the red carpet or for their Instagram shots. Their choice undoubtedly depends on the exclusivity that only unique pieces from past collections - especially if they are of historic or no longer active brands - can have, and perhaps also on their desire to support circular fashion. There are many fresh realities, born online and on social networks in recent years, driven by a great passion for archive fashion and by a careful research and selection of vintage items and accessories. nss G-Club has collected the celebrity-approved online stores of vintage and second-hand, to be discovered on Instagram. Enjoy!
Sami Miró Vintage
The passion for vintage leads the entrepreneur and designer Sami Miró to abandon her job in the company in 2016, after years of training and professional experiences in marketing, to devote herself to her personal creative project, which will take the name of Sami Miró Vintage. The brand immediately conquered fans of the caliber of Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa and Selena Gomez, and 5 years later it also arrives in the Gen Z wardrobes with Olivia Rodrigo and Kylie Jenner. In 2017 the first collaboration with Forever 21 arrives for a limited edition of vintage garments, and in 2020 the brand co-signs a collection of 30 garments with Heron Preston, presented on the catwalk on the occasion of the designer's SS20. In a few lines, as stated on the website, Sami Miró Vintage can be summarized as "a woman-owned, POC-owned business with a heavy focus on sustainability, specialized in limited run collections made from only up-cycled and vintage fabrics, minimizing waste, with a supply chain that starts and ends in Los Angeles, giving an extremely low carbon footprint."
