Reconstructing Vintage

I found a pearl in the cluttered New York City vintage market.  SloaneNYC is a vintage store and laboratory in the trendy Nolita area.

Brian Stanziale, the creative director, took me through the history and the creative concept behind the brand.  Three fashion-freak kids, Brian, Levi Okunov and Aaron Genuth opened the store last year with the idea of leveraging on the ‘one of a kind’ principle behind vintage.  Stanziale makes a unique dress even more special by tailoring it, swirling on paint, marching studs down the sleeve of a garment, circling a bright crimson piping around a hemline, to name a few modifications.

A side note worth mentioning – would you believe that in a fashion world where most garments are mass produced in China, this stylin’ trio design, tailor and produce right above their own store, in the middle of the Big Apple.

I highly recommend SloaneNYC as food for inspiration for any fashion editors, stylists or simply fashion addicts.
