Recessionista Sundays: February 15, 2009

the early birds catch the dresses! these serious collecthers arrived early to make the most of Sunday's Recessionista prices.

Recessionista Sunday Spotlight: Farrah

last Sunday, veteran collecther Farrah arrived at NOON with

the other early birds and left when we closed at 6:00PM!

she came with a mission in mind - get FRESH dresses. 

judging by her bags as she left... mission accomplished!

upon arrival, she staked her claim and headed 

straight to the fitting room.

the number of items you can take in with you.

this was Farrah's first piece. she's off to a

great start.

MORE Recessionista Sundays: February 15, 2009

Natalie's here! what a great surprise. i missed her during her last visit.

Philadelphia collecthers and long-time friends Michelle and Rita showed up for a surprise visit.

i looked up and thought it was a joke! these people are my family... they listened to me talk about my dream when we were in a dance company together and now they get to see it. BEST DAY EVER!

enough with the sentimentality, it's time to get down to business.

meet Jordan. he's 8-years-old and new to Brooklyn. he held an impromptu photo shoot and captured the energy of the day. he suggested he be paid and we agreed, considering he's world famous.

thanks again, Jordan!

Rita and Michelle REALLY got down.

it's Lizzie and Shana! Lizz Fields is an O.G. collecther... back when Collecther was called "my girlfriend's closet." (in my house filled with fabric and vintage, the girls would borrow everything!) if you asked Lizz she loves to correct newbies on the origins on the store.

plentiful mimosas and recessionista prices brought several new collecthers into the fold. 

fellow collecther Robin is a triple threat - she's a vintage buyer, a prop stylist and a fashion expert... so obvious by her fab accessories.

once a collecther, ALWAYS a collecther! Virginia is an old school collecther who traveled up from DC to get a vintage fix. you can see photos of her in some great pieces on our Myspace page.

Alana came in for alterations to an Austrian slip, circa 1920, purchased at a vintage market while on holiday. check out the great details at the neckline.

Joan is my girl! she's another fashion connoisseur who works her magic in the industry. When she visits I am always honored because she knows her stuff... it was a great catch up day... hope you'll join us next Sunday!
